How to Make the Best Triple Chocolate Potato Chip Bark Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Triple Chocolate Potato Chip Bark: Ridged potato chips, milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, solid vegetable shortening and heavy cream.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large sheet pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper, three microwave safe bowls, measuring spoons and spoons for stirring and drizzling the chocolate.
  • How to you make potato chip bark? Spread the potato chips on a large sheet pan. Melt each flavor of chocolate separately then drizzle over the potato chips. Allow time to set, then break apart and enjoy.
  • I find that ridged potato chips work best for this potato chip bark recipe. The thicker the chip the better.
  • The purpose of the vegetable shortening is to thin the chocolate without changing the character of the chocolate. It also will stabilize the chocolate.
  • You can add heavy cream only if needed to thin further, but use it sparingly.
  • Use quality chocolate and it will melt smoothly. I typically gravitate to Ghiradelli or a similar quality brand as it melts more smoothly which makes adding more cream unnecessary.
  • White chocolate can be a little more challenging to melt in the microwave, so a double boiler works best if you have one handy. If you don’t, you can place a tempered glass bowl over a pot of simmering (not boiling) water. Don’t let the water touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir the chocolate periodically until it’s smooth.
  • Store this Triple Chocolate Potato Chip Bark at room temperature in an air tight container for up to one week.

  1. 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.

  2. 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
