Chocolate Covered Bacon Potato Chip Treats Recipe

Pin to Pinterest

If you love the salty and sweet flavor combination, this treat is for you! The saltiness of the bacon and kettle potato chips twisted up with the sweetness of the marshmallows and chocolate drizzle will have you coming back for more. Think it’s weird? Just try it! We bet you’ll make the salty/sweet plunge! Whip up a batch for your next Game Day celebration, it will be a hit. It’s totally indulgent and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

7 oz. potato chips (I used Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Waffle Cut Potato Chips with Sea Salt)
3 tbs salted butter
4 cups miniature marshmallows
2 oz white baking chocolate
2 oz semi sweet baking chocolate
2 tbs bacon bits or crumbled freshly cooked bacon

Directions:

Coat an 8 x 8 square baking pan with non stick cooking spray.
Melt 3 tbs butter in a large saucepan.
Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.
Remove from heat.
Add 7 ounces of potato chips to the marshmallow mixture and stir until all the chips are coated.
Turn that mixture into your greased baking dish and use a piece of wax paper to press the potato mixture down.
Melt your semi sweet baking chocolate in the microwave and drizzle over your potato chip mixture.
Melt your white chocolate in the microwave and drizzle over the semi sweet chocolate.
Sprinkle bacon on top.
Allow your treats to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Makes nine treats.

Note: I like to use kettle chips in this recipe. They are more sturdy than regular potato chips and hold up to the mixing.
