Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pound high quality milk chocolate, chopped
8 cups ridged potato chips

Steps:

  • Place about 3/4 of the chocolate into a heat safe bowl, and place over the top of a pan of simmering water. If you have a double boiler, use that. Heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate has melted, then continue to heat the chocolate to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), stirring occasionally. You may use a meat thermometer if your candy thermometer does not go that low.
  • As soon as the melted chocolate reaches temperature, remove it from the heat, and stir in the remaining chopped chocolate until melted. Continue stirring until the chocolate has cooled to 90 degrees F (32 degrees C). Touching a dab of chocolate to your lip will feel cool.
  • Use tongs to dip potato chips one at a time into the chocolate. Place on waxed paper starting at the point farthest from you and working your way in so as not to drip on your finished chips. Cool until set. You may refrigerate if you like.

Tips:

  • If you want a more savory cluster, try using dark chocolate chips or even milk chocolate chips.
  • You can add other mix-ins to your clusters, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even bacon.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chocolate, or it will become too thick and difficult to work with.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready.
  • Make sure to spread the chocolate out evenly on the baking sheet so that the clusters are all the same size.
  • Allow the clusters to cool completely before enjoying them.

Potato chip clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover potato chips. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty snack that everyone will love.
