Choc-Dipped Salt and Vinegar Party Chips! // The Sugar Hit

 

First time I ever heard about a chocolate-dipped potato chip was in this post on Sweetapolita. It’s a recipe from Oregonian food truck The Sugar Cube (sadly no more)(but the name calls to me) and it sounded…strange at the time. Chocolate cupcakes, chocolate ganache, potato chips and a drizzz of salted caramel. Now? I wonder why it took me so long to get on board. Was I insane? Luckily, due to the genius of the notorious JTB, I know that making a whole batch of cupcakes isn’t even necessary to get a salty-crunchy-bitter-sweet-sharp fix, and in fact, you can just go ahead and dip some chips in chocolate.

 

I love the combination here of the incredibly low-rent ruffles salt-and-vinegar chip, and the incredibly high-end dark chocolate, after-dinner vibe. And I really must insist on salt-and-vinegar. That sharp tang at the end is INSANE with the chocolate – the sprinkles are just for fun. They seemed perfect for this 1985 skater themed high tea. These chips also seem perfect for eating while watching a whole range of films this weekend, from the 1975 classic Three Days of Condor (just watched it, loved it, Redford’s a babe) to…let’s say…the Sex and the City movie for the billionth time.

Now let’s talk about the beautiful things in these photos for one last time:

That super-cute little aztec planter, along with the beautiful pink mug in the picture below are from Mr Sparrow.

That funky, water-coloured, beautifully irregular mug, and the rough-edged, textural stoneware tumblr are both from Falling For Florin.

The cute green-edged, spotted napkins are from Antipodean Love.

The beautiful wooden chopping board that the chips are on is from Ten Things.
