Pregnancy Cravings....we've all heard the pickles and ice cream myth, and I must say I was curious what my typically easy to please palate would come up with now that I am expecting. Alas, here we are at Week 17, and other than flavored seltzer water, fresh fruit and a lot more sweets than I typically indulge in (soft serve frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries is my current bliss,) I haven't really had any serious cravings.
Then I came across this recipe for Chocolate Covered Potato Chips and nearly fell out of my chair. Don't get me wrong, I am curious as you probably are...but like many salty and sweet combos (peanut butter and chocolate....popcorn and M&M's) I have a good feeling this is going to be a match made in heaven. I will be sure to let you know how they turn out!

Makes 1 (15 ounce) bag
Ingredients:
1½ cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, dark is your choice)
1 (15.25 ounce bag) bag ridge-cut potato chips
Directions:
1. Place chocolate chips in a heat resistant bowl and place over a pot of simmering water. (make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl)
2. Completely melt chocolate until smooth and begin dipping the chips, about ½ way.
3. Shake off any excess chocolate and place chips onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
4. Allow chocolate covered chips to dry completely before serving.
5. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Do you have any salty/sweet favorite treats? Ever have any really strange cravings? :)
Bon appetit!

ReplyDeleteoh yum! I love Ripple Lays' dipped in cake icing....I could eat that stuff all day long...and I'm not expecting so what does that say about my eating habbits?! {LOL}

ReplyDeleteLiving vicariously through you. These sound AMAZING. You need to try the Ben & Jerry's Late Night Snack flavor -- vanilla bean with a salty caramel swirl and chocolate-covered potato chip chunks. I can't even talk about it; it's so amazing.
