Ingredients You’ll Need

Potato chips: Use thick, sturdy chips (like ridged or kettle chips) to prevent breaking.
White chocolate chips or melting wafers: For melting
Funfetti cake mix
Sprinkles: Nonpareils sprinkles work best.
Gel food coloring: Optional if you want to color your chocolate.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

Step 1 — Melt the chocolate

Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 2 — Flavor the chocolate.

Stir in the dry cake mix until fully combined and smooth. For a pop of color, mix in a few drops of gel food coloring and stir until evenly blended.

Step 3 — Dip the chips

Dip each potato chip halfway into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off to avoid pooling.

Step 4 — Add sprinkles

Place dipped chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Step 5 — Let them set

Allow the chocolate covered potato chips to harden at room temperature, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to speed things up.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

Avoid oily chips: If your chips feel greasy, lightly blot them with a paper towel before dipping to help the chocolate stick better.
Work in batches: Dip a few chips at a time to keep the chocolate smooth and easy to work with.
Add toppings quickly: Sprinkle decorations on immediately before the chocolate sets for the best hold.
Reheat as needed: If the chocolate starts to thicken, warm it briefly and stir until smooth again.
Creative serving idea: Skip the bowl and display your chocolate covered potato chips in waffle cones. Dip the cones in the same chocolate mixture and top with sprinkles for a fun, party-ready presentation.

How to Store Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

Store your chocolate covered potato chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–5 days. For best texture, avoid humidity and refrigeration if possible, as moisture can soften the chips.
