This post is chocolate dipped....everything and anything. Chocolate dipped potato chips (you read right), chocolate dipped caramels, chocolate dipped Ritz crackers with peanut butter, and my all time favorite chocolate dipped strawberries.
It's true what they say about salty things taste really good dipped in chocolate. Like pretzels. Everyone loves pretzels dipped in chocolate. But have you ever had salty potato chips dipped in milk chocolate?
Hmmm. I have and I can't get enough of them. The first time I saw this concoction was at a homemade candy store in
Chatham, Ma about 4 years ago (not too far from my home). They had double stuff
Oreo's dipped in milk chocolate, salty hearty pretzels dipped in milk chocolate then dipped again in white chocolate then a swirl of peanut butter
ganache. :::sigh::: Then I saw the milk chocolate dipped potato chips and knew I had to try one. It was such a satisfying flavor of creamy milky sweet chocolate with the instant bite of salty. I was hooked on them, but fast learned to make my own since they charged some insane price of $3.09 a pound.
Another wonderful treat to try is two Ritz crackers filled with peanut butter (like a sandwich) then dipped in milk chocolate. Crazy good. I make these during the holidays to give away to clients and friends. They always love them, and it's
relatively an inexpensive way to give a gourmet food gift to those special friends and clients we love. Last Christmas I made over 300 of these...and every single one was devoured. I love love love to hear and see my friends and family and even clients devour my food creations. To make the chocolate dipped peanut butter smores, just take two graham crackers spread with pb, then a layer of marshmallow fluff, let harden in the fridge, then dip in chocolate. Easy!
Those should be illegal - they look too luscious.
ReplyDeleteThose look fantastic!! YUUUM. I really like the cracker+pb+chocolate idea.. I'll have to try that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips about the hummus, too!!! That sounds SO good!

ReplyDeleteHey Dawn, I know that this is my first visit and all and that I should behave myself and make a good first impression, but what the heck, I'll go ahead and speak my mind :)
ReplyDeleteYou are nuts! (lol) Chocolate dipped potato chips (you read right), chocolate dipped caramels, and chocolate dipped Ritz crackers with peanut butter. - only a chocolate addict would do such a thing! :)
You are SO creative! amazing
ReplyDeleteUmmm, seriously you need to enter these potato chips in this months potato ho down, I mean this is the ultimate, seriously.
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to kill me?
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on the lobsters off the dock (seriously, I'm scarred for life.) But can you please send me a batch of these? Pretty please?!!!!
Ohhhh...yes..these are my kind of treats!!I love that you put the salt on the carmel!
ReplyDeleteOH! I am crying right now as I eat my healthy chili and muffins. I have had chocolate covered potato chips and love them. I am making your PB Ritz sandwiches for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteOoh, these look amazing! And positively evil of course; I'd scarf the lot in minutes ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! even the potato chips look/sound good. never would have expected that!
ReplyDeleteThose sound insanely addicting! I can't wait to try ritz crackers + peanut butter dipped in peanut butter. I can't imagine the kind of damage that's gonna do!
ReplyDeleteI am itching and craving and dying for the ritz with pb. I always dip over the holidays but have never ever tried that. Looks phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteWe have a serious problem here. I put on 1kg just reading your post and looking at your pictures. Help! ;-)
ReplyDeletemy grandma forces me to make chocolate-dipped ritz peanut butter sandwich crackers every christmas. it's such a task, but totally worth it. :) and chocolate-dipped caramels? yes please!
ReplyDeleteYummmieeee. My neighbor makes the chocolate dipped ritz/pb cookies in December. She also uses white chocolate bark to dip. Yours and the potato chips look divine!
ReplyDeleteThey look so yummy delicious - like the Ritz PB and Potato chips best. But I dare not make them.... worried that I will not be able to stop eating!
ReplyDeleteI love sweet and salty! Chips would me extra good!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love salty and sweet... It's my favorite combination of flavors. The chocolate covered ruffles look especially delicious.
ReplyDeletechocolate dipped ANYTHING is good by me
ReplyDeleteOh yea, these look really good. You can't beat chocolate dipped anything! What great ideas...I would love to try those chips!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lip smacking good and to me chocolate too is good on almost anything.I love your blog and would love to pass on this award to you!

I've had chocolate covered chips before and chocolate covered Oreos but Ritz and peanut butter that sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI dip the small already packaged ritz pb cookies in white chocolate for wedding and shower food. Never thought to make my own and dip them in chocolate and give them as gifts, what a way to go!
ReplyDeleteAnything dunked in chocolate is yummy, but those chips look so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I've read through yours and I'm hooked. I'm adding you to my blog roll, hope okay with you :-)

this reminds me of my favorite choco coated goodies when i was a kid! oh my oh my they look sinful dawn! wish were just neighbors you know :-)
ReplyDeleteDawn, I think you and I were separated at birth. What could be better than these treats?
ReplyDeletewhy wait until the holidays... salt and sweet are always a good combo in my book.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to your blog the way I keep going to the pot of creamy custard sitting in the kitchen, Dawn.
ReplyDeleteHas the Surgeon General declared anything yet on your post and blog?! ^_^
Because of you I've started to dream everything covered in chocolate - my innocent marmalade toast, my couch, the stereo, my friend's dog...
For all the baking and cooking I do, I've never made chocolate dipped anything!!!! This post will remedy that! What is your favorite kind of chocolate for dipping?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a perfect idea! First of all, I LOVE the sweet and salty combination, especially with a crunchy texture, and second of all, who says there is anything that can't be dipped in chocolate and still taste good?
ReplyDeleteI'll take a dozen of each one. And then some. I am drooling all over my computer looking at your great recipes. Now I have lots of baking to do.
ReplyDeleteAh! That time is almost upon us again! Thanks for the tips :) For some reason, $3 a pound for chocolate-covered potato chips doesn't sound very unreasonable to me. Everything looks really good, and though I haven't tried CC Potato Chips, I'm developing a craving for them now!
ReplyDeleteWOW - what a great idea! I'm totally going to try out those ritz crackers/PB/chocolate sometime!
ReplyDeleteIngenious, I'm sure I would love them all. How do you come up with these ideas.
ReplyDeleteOMG, i wish you'd posted these last week! I couldn't for the life of me satisfy my sweet/salty cravings. I was going crazy!
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, help me to not immediately run to the store and buy every single thing in this post.
You are a genius, Dawn!
OMG I forgot about this recipe I remember one of my Mommas friend made this before and it was amazing good. Thanks so much for the memory job and I can not wait to try them. YOU ALL HAVE TO MAKE SOME OF THESE...
ReplyDeleteYum! My mom used to make chocolate dipped peanut butter Ritz sandwiches around the holidays. They're so good. I still need to try the chips sometime.
ReplyDeleteI've never had the potato chips but oh my gosh do they look good! U guys have to try chocolate dipped gummy bears!!! They are THE best!!!
