Triple Chocolate Potato Chip Bark an Edible Gift
You can wrap this bark and give it as a teacher's gift, or maybe for that special Coach or friendly neighbor. The beauty of making this kind of candy is that the process is simple enough that even the kids can help. I love that no two batches ever look exactly the same. You can whip-up a batch in minutes for game day and race day sweets or just for munching. I love candy bark in general and in particular this triple chocolate combo making every bite a surprise flavor treat. It comes with easy prep ending with big results.
Helpful Tips for Making Potato Chip Bark
- Ridged potato chips work best for this recipe.
- The purpose of the shortening is to thin the chocolate without changing the character of the chocolate and keep it stable.
- You can add heavy cream only if needed to thin further but, use it sparingly.
- Use quality chocolate and it will melt smoothly.
- White chocolate can be a little more challenging to melt so, a double boiler works best.
- Store this potato chip bark at room temperature in an air tight container for up to one week.

I love this recipe Melissa. I am a salty/sweet gal and this is right up my alley.

I usually make this bark within a few days of serving it and honestly it has never lasted that long before it's eaten. I think it should be fine if made a couple of days in advance.

Made this today and was wonderful. Thanks for such a quick and sweet treat for the rush of holiday time. Do you know if the chips will get soggy after a week or so? Thanks again. Victoria
