Here’s the difference between you and me. You’re armed with reason, and willpower, and common sense, and common decency. Me? Less so.
Perhaps it’s this lack of common decency that would lead me to dip perfectly good savory potato chips into perfectly good dark chocolate. The result seems to be a perfectly sinister meeting of savory / sweet / and chocolate. It’s trouble. Nothing but trouble.
Remember that time I made Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwiches and everyone was like, UM… Joy the Baker has LOST IT! This is that! Except there’s chocolate involved, so maybe you’ll let this one slide.
How to be the most popular person at the party. How to win friends and influence people. How to be really good at life. How to do it right. These chocolate-dipped chips seem to solve most of life’s little vacancies. That’s awesome, right?
I don’t need to write you a whole recipe or give you step-by-step photographs for these chocolate-dipped potato chips. You know the deal. Here are a few pro-tips… as if you need them, pffft.

The Chocolate-Dipped Potato Chip
You’ll need:
– about 5 ounces dark chocolate, melted
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil stirred into the melted chocolate. (optional, but totally helps the chocolate loosen and set on the potato chip)
– 2 giant handfuls of potato chips (with ridges are preferred, you know?)
– vanilla sea salt (very optional, but lovely)
Dip the potato chips in melted chocolate. Place on wax or parchment. Chill for just a bit in the refrigerator to set the chocolate. Store in a cool place or just invite a friend over and devour every last one. Repeat.

So glad to have this recipe! I discovered chocolate-chip dipped potato chips in Japan in 2005. . .they are very popular there! Tried to make them at home and failed miserably.

And i thought i was the only one :D its good to see someone with similar thoughts ^_^

Oh, yum!! I saw these in the grocery store by Lays completely covered and I thought mmm… maybe but, homemade with half the chip dipped in chocolate just seems so much more appealing. Pretty much a must try now :) Thank you for sharing!

Looks delicious! I like mixing sweet and salty things.

I can already taste this and it’s incredible. Making these on my next cheat day after I’m done with my detox. I know, I know, this is probably the dirtiest way to come off a cleanse, but what the hay!
Beth Manos Brickey
Yup! I want to marry you.
When I tell people that I LOVE chocolate covered potato chips, they usually look at me like I am kinda crazy. I mean really,they are the crazy ones – they are obviously NOT LIVING!
Seriously though, there is nothing better than sweet & savory. Chocolate and salt!

i first had chocolate dipped potato chips nearly 12 years ago. an ex introduced them to me (back when we were still dating). i may have looked at him like he was crazy, but oh man, he was right on. i’ve rarely had them since, because they are terribly addicting.

cant go wrong with peanut butter
Anna | One Prickly Pear
Yum! Guess won’t have to decide between sweet and salty anymore ;)
Andj
I love chocolate and potato chips together and it feels nice to know I am not alone! oh and I will be trying that vanilla sea salt pronto
erinmadethis
This isn’t really happening, right?
Gerry @ Foodness Gracious
Oooof…I could do some damage to these. Crumbled bacon as an add-in Miss The Baker?
Thalia @ butter and brioche

If by crazy you mean GENIUS! This is a ridiculously wonderful combo. You should also try them in a cookie form :)

When you start posting recipes about dipping ramen noodles in mountain dew and then consuming the duo, we’ll wonder about you. All this other stuff if just plain fabulous!! :) And yes, I totally knew someone who would do that–and she wasn’t pregnant. She was an 8-year-old I used to babysit. Not sure what made her start doing that! HA! Keep them coming, Joy!
Medha @ Whisk & Shout
I went through a phase where a bowl of melted chocolate and bag of potato chips was dinner… okay, I might still be in that phase. Such a great salty/sweet combo!
Stephanie
Chuao milk chocolate potato chip chocolate bars are my most favorite candy ever! Their description: Crisp kettle cooked potato chips and a hint of sea salt, mix and mingle in milk chocolate. And the cost a VERY pretty penny (around $7 per bar). I would love to substitute milk chocolate for the dark in this recipe. Would this be a 1:1 substitute?
Nell
Be still my beating taste buds! Chocolate & sea salt (vanilla no less) … a match made in culinary heaven.
Annie Reeves
I 100% support this!!! Once had chocolate covered potato chip ice cream…life changing.
sundiegoeats
This makes more sense the pickle and PB but I have to say I’m not 100% sure? I am still one of those people that has not dipped fries into my shake/ice cream despite the overwhelming consensus this will be magical.
Claire (@Kurea_San)
Strangely I was in Japan a few weeks ago and chocolate dipped potato chips seemed to be the ‘in’ snack food. Wasn’t really for me, but a pretty cool eating experience nonetheless.

Katya @ Little Broken
I had these in Nashville and they are heavenly!
Callie / Flour and Fancy
I’ve always had an eye on giving the chocolate meets potato chip duo a try, and with this recipe, I think I’m ready to take the plunge. Thanks for another great recipe, Joy!
leahgreenbergdavis
I am LOVING the salty sweet combo. I don’t think I would be able to resist these too long if they were in my house!!
Samantha Livingston
Reminds me of a recipe I have for potato chip cookies. ( although they don’t have chocolate in them, hmmmm…)
Janelle | fchem101.com
I’m all about salty chocolate, and potato chips obviously win over my usual almonds, so… This is happening.
Wesley at Library Educated
Sorry not sorry is right!
Lauren @ Living the Savory Life
I LOVE chocolate covered potato chips. That sweet and salty gets me every time. I even love potato chips and chocolate ice cream.
Abby @ The Frosted Vegan
Oh yeah, I want a piece of that.
Adrienne K
well, chocolate covered pretzels are a thing, so why not.. I would think the chips would get soggy from the wet chocolate, but what do I know?
Girl Named Allyn
1) These looks amazing and beyond dangerous
2) I actually really like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. One of my roommates and I went through a brief phase of eating them all the time back in my single days. Made a nice break from my usual got to meal of fritos, queso, and salsa.
Trish @ Well Worn Fork
I recently put ruffled potato chips in my pancake batter and then schmeared peanut butter and jelly on top of the cakes. This reminds me of that. Awesome!
dc
Ya missed a spot with that chocolate!! Added salt is a nice touch tho’ ! *grins madly*
Taylor
I will take them all, thank you.

Divine! When you add coconut oil to chocolate, when it cools, does it become snappy and hard, or does it stay soft and bendy?

Brilliant minds think alike.

I see Monday started your adventure and this one is absolutely fantastic. Love chips and chocolate, tempting and satisfying just as you said savory and the devilish taste of dark chocolate. Only one word HEAVEN IN EACH BITE. Have a good week and now to dip my chips in chocolate. Oh the pounds. Paulette
Marie
These are just danger zone. And I love it!!!
Grace S.
These look absolutely delicious! And you are not alone with your weird food combos–I had quite a few when I was little! I used to put Cheetos in my peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, and even now, I dip my French fries in chocolate ice cream and ketchup–together. ???? Yum.
Natasha | The Perfectionist
Sometimes I eat chocolate and crisps (chips!) at the same time. So, um, this is perfect to me. (And vanilla sea salt? I need that in my life.)
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness
I am pretty sure I just threw all willpower (and all desire to get up and go to the gym right now) to the wind, at the sight of these beauties. Chocolate and potato chips? I want to marry these. Pinned!
Ciara (@My Fussy Eater)
Oh my! You are either a genius or completely insane!! I will definitely have to try these out to decide for myself!
Belinda Lo (Moonblush Baker)
You know what? This plus vanilla ice cream and waffle bowl equals love. Heaven has a rival.

You are so on to a winner here – EVERY TIME I go to Japan I have to buy a pack of chocolate covered potato chips. It’s so wrong and yet so dang right!
