Chocolate Covered Potato Chips Are An Ideal Sweet Treat At Any Party
By Patricia Gorginas
Chocolate covered potato chips are a recent treat available at
parties. There are a variety of chocolate covered foods these
days, including nuts, strawberries and chocolate apples.
The chocolate covered potato chips with the ridges taste the
best, as they can hold more chocolate inside the ridges, than
the plain potato chips. This is the reason, they are more popular
than the plain potato chips.
Delicious Party Food
Chocolate covered potato chips are served at parties and social
gatherings as sweet treats. They are placed alongside chocolate
covered peanuts, apples and strawberries.
Some sweet treats taste much better than they sound. One that
fits well into this category is chocolate covered potato chips.
Just thinking about the saltiness of the chips mixed with the
sweetness of the chocolate sounds a bit off-putting. But unless
you review your options and tried one of these delectable morsels,
you have no idea how incredibly delicious they really are.
Most of us have tried other typical snack foods smothered in
a chocolate coating. Nuts are one that many people find utterly
magnificent.
Chocolate Covered Nuts
Nuts are generally salty, but when they are combined with the
chocolate, they take on a new dimension of flavor and are very
appealing. The same principle holds true with chocolate covered
potato chips and if you’ve had a pretzel dipped in chocolate you
know how well salty and sweet go together.
Finding these can be a bit tricky. Supermarkets don’t often stock
them because they are a relatively new item that not everyone
is willing to try.
Available In Chocolate Specialty Shops
A specialty chocolate shop is certain to have a wide selection
of chocolate covered potato chips alongside the nuts and pretzels.
If you are interested in trying them, this is a good avenue to
explore.
You won’t be making a big investment if you purchase a small
package, but be prepared to become addicted to their unique flavor
instantly.
Make Your Own Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
Once you’ve tried them you may be tempted to try making them
at home. This is advantageous for several reasons including the
fact that you can use your favorite type of chocolate and you
can also experiment with flavors.
The process of making chocolate covered potato chips is easy
and after you’ve done it, you’ll want to make more for yourself
and also offer them as gifts as well.
Good quality chocolate is the main ingredient along with potato
chips with ridges. These hold the chocolate the best and also
taste wonderful. After you’ve dipped the chips and they have set,
you can then pipe white chocolate or caramel flavoring directly
onto the chocolate covered potato chips.
Make Into A Romantic Gift
Depending on how attractive they look, when bundled together
with decorative tissue they make a truly decadent gift for a girlfriend
or neighbor who loves sweets.
Don’t stop with just potato chips when you begin to experiment
with all the flavors. Chocolate makes a great coating for popcorn,
crackers and spicy tortilla chips as well.
Popular At Parties
There really is no limit to all the new and exciting snacks you
can create with just a pot of chocolate and your imagination.
Your taste buds will thank you for being so adventurous.
You can create more than you need and share around with your
friends and family. They are also popular at parties, especially
the chocolate covered chips with ridges. They seems to go faster
than the plain ones as they usually have more chocolate on them.
Placed Next To Your Peanuts And Sliced Apples
The next time you have a party or a small social gathering, make
sure you have a plateful of chocolate covered potato chips along
with your peanuts and apples in chocolate.
As everyone knows, normal potato chips are a popular item at
any party. To make a difference you could add next to the plate
of normal potato chips, a full plate of chocolate covered potato
chips.

Did You Know This About Chocolate?
Is it true that Hershey's chocolate candy bars were in military
rations during WWI?
No, it is not exactly true. During WWI huge
blocks of chocolate were shipped over to bases where it would
be chipped off and distributed.
But it was during WWII that Milton Hershey
was able to meet the military's demands for a small bar that was
heat resistant and would provide the soldiers with energy. These
new bars were called "Field Ration D" and many soldiers attribute
these bars with saving them in times when rations were scarce.
You could try one of these special bars
but you might be disappointed. It definitely does not have the
taste of a real Hershey's bar.
