I whipped these up in my kitchen one afternoon when I was making white chocolate-peppermint bark for my Christmas goodie gift bags I give my teacher friends.

I happened to have a bag of potato chips on hand in the pantry, and decided to see what they'd taste like dipped in the peppermint-laced white chocolate.

I love that they're super quick and easy to make. A big batch can be done literally in a matter of minutes.

In case you're wondering, they taste good, my friends.  Darn good.

I love that they're super quick and easy to make, too.  A big batch can be done literally in a matter of minutes.

All you have to do to make them is melt some white chocolate candy coating, stir in a touch of peppermint extract, dip the chips ...

prep time: 15 Mcook time: total time: 15 M

ingredients:

  • Ridged potato chips (I used Ruffles potato chips ... you want to pick sturdy potato chips)
  • 12 oz. white chocolate bark coating (1/2 of a package) OR white candy melts
  • 2 tsp. shortening
  • 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
  • Crushed candy canes

instructions:

How to cook Christmas White Chocolate-Peppermint Potato Chips

  1. Melt bark coating or candy melts and shortening together in the microwave per package directions (typically in 30 second intervals, stirring in between); stir until smooth. Stir in peppermint extract.
  2. Dip each potato chip in the melted candy coating, turning the chip over to coat both sides. Let excess coating drip off back into the melted candy coating. Place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and immediately sprinkle with candy cane pieces.
  3. Let stand for coating to set up. {Pop them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to quickly set the coating, if you'd like.}

  2. Hello. We would like to make the potato chips with chocolate/peppermint as a party favor and place in a baggie. If we refrigerate will they get soggy or stale? Tank you very much. Katrin katrinbwebb@gmail.com

    1. They probably would get soggy if refrigerated. I recommend storing them at room temperature. Enjoy!
