    That recipe for snack mix is easy to make like this one is.
    This recipe however features potato chips while that recipe features pretzels.

    To make this tasty chocolate covered treats you will need white chocolate chips. You can find white chocolate chips here.

    This recipe is especially for anyone asking what snacks to put out for guests.

    It is also an easy recipe to personalize for events and holidays.

    For as easy as this recipe is to make, it is also easy to enjoy.

    This could be because of the way that the salty potato chips interact with the sweet chocolate.

    This recipe is also for anyone asking what can you cover in chocolate.

    Personally, I am one of those people who can eat about anything covered in chocolate.
    As long as it is food and not something that is not meant to be eaten.

    Chocolate covered potato chips are a perfect way to make a quick candy-like snack.

    This is also the best use for the broken up potato chip pieces on the bottom of the bag.
    Those are the pieces that often make for the best chocolate candy clusters!

    Tips for making this potato chip candy recipe.

    While I am using white chocolate chips, you can choose to use chocolate wafers. Simply melt the chocolate according to the directions on the packaging.

    More tips for you

    1. Add some extra flavor to your clusters. Simply add a half to full teaspoon of extract such as vanilla extract of maple extract to the melted chocolate.
    2. If your melted chocolate seems to be too thick to work with, you can thin it out. Simply stir in a teaspoon or two of coconut oil or butter.
    3. I am using pecans in this recipe mostly because I like pecans in a cluster-like candy. Feel free to sub in the chopped nut of your choice, such as walnuts or cashews.

    Yes, these potato chip candy clusters are find just the way they are.
    But, you can also take them up notch!
