Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups potato chips (your favorite brand or flavor)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Sea salt, for sprinkling
  • Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts) or dried fruit (cranberries)
  • Caramel sauce, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Assemble all your ingredients in one place to avoid interruptions during preparation.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add Honey and Vanilla: Mix in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract until well incorporated, creating a perfect sweet aroma and balanced flavor.
  4. Fold in Potato Chips: Gently fold the potato chips into the chocolate mixture, ensuring each chip is lightly coated but remains crunchy.
  5. Scoop Clusters and Chill: Using a spoon, drop clusters onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt if desired. Place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or until firm.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crispy potato chips for the best texture.
  • Fold gently to keep chips intact and crunchy.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
  • Chill clusters thoroughly before serving to ensure proper texture.
  • Let peanut butter soften slightly before melting for easier mixing.
