Making these delicious chocolate-covered potato chips is super simple and only requires two ingredients. Begin with a bag of [ruffled chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-potato-chips). The ruffle-style chips are best for chocolate dipping because the melted chocolate will stick better to the grooved edges. Melt [dark chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolatedipped-banana) over medium low head and begin to dip each chip half way in the chocolate. Let the chips cool and dip again for a second layer of gooey chocolate. Leaving half the chip plain will create a deliciously contrasting flavor profile between the saltiness of the potato chip and the sweetness of the chocolate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sweet and Salty Treats:** Opportunity to create more sweet and salty combined snacks - **DIY Snacking:** Opportunity to offer more DIY snack options for consumers - **Healthy Snacking Alternatives:** Opportunity to create healthier sweet and salty snack options ### Where This Applies - **Food Industry:** Opportunity for companies to create similar sweet and salty snack products for consumers - **Home Baking Industry:** Opportunity for bakeries to offer DIY sweet and salty snack making kits - **Healthy Snack Industry:** Opportunity to create healthy, sweet and salty snack alternatives for consumers ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chocolate-Dipped Matzo Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-dipped-matzo-chips.md) - [Potato Chive Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mashed-potato-swirl.md) - [Chip-Infused Peanut Butter Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-big-cup-with-potato-chips.md) - [Chip-Created Mashed Potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-potato-chip-to-potato-dish.md) - [Salty Chocolate Snack Clusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snacky-clusters.md) - [Chocolate-Covered Orange Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-orange-chips.md) - [Chocolate-Covered Rice Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-dark-chocolate-halfcoated-rice-cake-thins.md) - [Cereal-Coated Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-bunches-of-oats-chocolate.md) - [Casserole-Inspired Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-chocolate-bar.md)
