These party chips take the chocolate covered potato chip to the next level. Just like the original, they are a mix of sweet and salty but this version adds a fun surprise for your tastebuds, hidden in plain sight. And since they are inspired by Molly Yeh’s Fizzy Rock Potato Chips they, of course, involve festive sprinkles.

Taking it to the next level

Chocolate covered potato chips are nothing new. This recipe adds a few twists to make it a festive part of any celebration. First, instead of milk or dark chocolate these chips use white chocolate which not only adds a sweeter contrast to the salty chips but also a perfect canvas for decorations.

Secondly, Molly Yeh is known for her love of sprinkles so it comes as no surprise that they are used in her recipe. While she uses nonpareils, I chose to use Valentine’s themed sprinkles for this version but you can swap out for whatever color or theme you want.

Finally, and most surprisingly, is the addition of Pop Rocks. This fizzy, popping candy can easily be mistaken for sprinkles at first glance. It’s when you eat the chips that you not only get sweet and salty but that signature crackling from the candies.

Substitutions

This recipe is pretty flexible so feel free to swap out some of the ingredients:

• If you don’t like white chocolate (and many people don’t) then use a milk or dark chocolate.
• There are lots of different flavors of Pop Rocks. Or if you like tropical flavors like lychee, use Volcano Popping Candy.
• Swap out your decorative sprinkles for whatever holiday or festival you are celebrating. Be creative!
