    During a period of intense chocolate experimentation (what a glorious time) I dipped some chips in smooth melted chocolate.

    This is a perfect recipe to make if you have any leftover melted chocolate after making treats like Peanut Butter Macaroons or Shiny New Year Chocolate Covered Strawberries or Peanut Butter Balls!

    Or melt that chocolate specifically for these treats. They'll satisfy that sweet-salty craving that creeps up an hour or two after dinner, or midday on a weekend.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    There are only two ingredients to pull together for this recipe: the chocolate and the chips. I like making these during the holidays when there is an abundance of both on hand. They're also a fun treat to make for parties, on weekends at home or for movie nights.

    This is a fun recipe to make with kids! Once the chocolate is melted you can move the pan to an accessible spot where kids can gather around. Dip the chips by hand or use a spoon to ladle the chocolate over.

    How to make these chips

    Step 1: Melt the chocolate

    Place the chocolate in the top of a double boiler, or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir the chocolate until it's melted and smooth.

    Step 2: Dip the chips

    Dip the chips carefully into the chocolate to coat as much of the surface as you can. Or, use a spoon to ladle chocolate over the chip. Set the chips on a cooling rack and let them set.

    Notes

    • The recipe calls for 75 chips, which is roughly one 13-ounce bag of Tostitos-brand Hint Of Lime Tortilla Chips. This includes both whole and broken chips. If you want to be able to pick the most perfect, intact chips possible, have a second bag of chips handy.)
    • Be careful when dipping the chips or ladling chocolate over them not to let the hot, melted chocolate touch your skin. If you prefer, you can lay the chips out on a wire rack and drizzle the chips with chocolate.

    The strong lime and salt flavor on the chips is nicely mellowed once smothered in chocolate, coming through more subtly at the end of each bite. My family loved the tang of the lime combined with the sweetness of the chocolate. The chips are quite difficult to stop eating!

    Ingredients
      

    • 75 Tostitos "Hint of Lime" tortilla chips (This is roughly one 13-ounce bag of chips, which includes whole and broken chips. If you want to be able to pick the most perfect, intact chips you can have a second bag of chips handy.)
    • 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips

    Instructions
     

    • Line 3 or 4 baking sheets with waxed paper. Set a wire rack into one of the lined pans.
    • Heat water in the bottom of a double boiler. Bring to a simmer. Add the chocolate to the upper pan and stir until melted and smooth. (If you don't have a double boiler, use a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.)
    • Work carefully so that the chocolate will not drip on your skin. Hold one chip over the pan of chocolate. Use a small ladle or spoon to pour chocolate over most of the chip. Coat both sides of the chip, allow the excess to drip off and then place the chip on the cooling rack. Repeat these steps with more chips.
    • When the rack is full, transfer the cooling chips to the waxed paper-lined baking sheets, making the rack free to hold more chips. Repeat with the rest of the chips and chocolate.
    • Allow the chips to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate is set and firm - about 40 minutes to an hour.
    • The chips taste best when enjoyed the same day. However, extras can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 additional days. The chips will be slightly chewier but still tasty.
