This isn’t the first slightly unusual chocolate covered thing I have made. Chocolate covered Cheetos might take the cake. But today I decided to slightly alter an already accepted chocolate covered item – chocolate covered potato chips, but with peanut butter.

It’s as simple as dipping your favorite ruffled potato chips into melted peanut butter chips before the chocolate. The result is highly satisfying and addicting, especially if you are a sweet and salty lover.

Could you dip the entire chip instead of just half? Sure, but I like the halfway mostly because it’s easier as you have something to hold on to while dipping. It also allows for a good ratio of sweet to salty, which I think would be unbalanced if fully coated.

With how good these came out, I am already dreaming up other ideas. I stumbled upon peanut butter chocolate potato chip bars which may have opened the flood gates. Rest assured, this combo is here to stay.
