🥄 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| White or semi-sweet chocolate chips | 12 oz |
| Chopped walnuts | 1 1/4 cups |
| Crushed Ruffles potato chips | 3 cups |
👩🍳 Directions
- Prep Your Pan:
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. This keeps the candies from sticking and simplifies cleanup. - Melt the Chocolate:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until fully melted and silky smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent scorching. - Mix in the Crunch:
Stir in the chopped walnuts and crushed potato chips. Gently fold until everything is evenly coated in the melted chocolate. - Let It Rest Briefly:
Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes—this helps it firm up slightly, making scooping easier. - Form the Candies:
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. - Set & Store:
Let the candies cool completely at room temperature, or pop them in the fridge to speed things up. Once they’re firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
