Kettle Chip Bark

Kettle Chip Bark 1
Living in North Dakota, I learned about a lot of interesting foods. Lefse, a delicious Norwegian potato flatbread that is amazing brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Lutefisk which is a dried and salted fish that gets gelatinous in texture. Can’t say I could ever be convinced to try that one. But best of all, the chocolate dipped potato chip.

Why had I never thought of that before? I love chocolate dipped pretzels so you would think with my adoration of chips and all things sweet and salty, I would have gone there. But alas, the northerners beat me to it. It was the ruffle chip that I always saw dipped but I love salty, crunchy kettle chips so that’s the direction I chose.

I’ve mentioned before how much I hate dipping things in chocolate. It’s messy, they never look as pretty and it takes forever. So I figured, why bother dipping when I can make it into a bark. The lazy man’s way to consume chocolate dipped chips.

This bark is such a snap to make and can be done in 12 minutes with 10 of those being inactive. Melt chocolate, mix in chips, spread and top with more chips, freeze and done.

If you keep a well stocked pantry, because all well stocked pantries should have chips duh, you could make this any time the sweet and salty craving strikes.

Even my non-kettle chip loving husband loved this. Yes, sometimes I wonder why I married him too, #chipsforlife.

  1. Oh this looks good! I love the combination of chips and chocolate, and that looks much easier than dipping them!

  2. Okay, this looks amazing! Sweet & salty at its finest!

  3. Very good idea to make this little treat!

  4. I’ve never tried chocolate and potato chips together, but I’ve been wanting to for a while. This recipe looks so simple that it may be dangerous information to have – I foresee a new addiction on the horizon!
