Description

Potato Chip Squares are a delightful sweet and salty treat featuring crushed potato chips coated in melted marshmallow, topped with a rich chocolate ganache. This easy no-bake recipe combines crispy chips with gooey marshmallows and creamy chocolate, perfect for a quick dessert or snack that serves nine.

Ingredients

Potato Chip Mixture

  • 6 cups plain potato chips (one standard-size bag, 7 ounces)
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the squares.
  2. Crush the potato chips: Place the 6 cups of potato chips into a zipper storage bag. Use a rolling pin or your hands to crush the chips into small crumbs but not powder. Set aside.
  3. Melt marshmallows and butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine marshmallows and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute until butter is melted and marshmallows puff up significantly.
  4. Mix potato chips with marshmallow: Add the crushed potato chips to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir thoroughly until all chips are completely coated with marshmallow.
  5. Press mixture into pan: Transfer the sticky mixture into the lined pan and use your wet fingertips to press it evenly without sticking. Set aside to cool and set for 15 minutes.
  6. Prepare the chocolate ganache: Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. Heat heavy cream in the microwave for 1 minute until steaming and bubbling. Pour hot cream over the chocolate chips, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  7. Top with ganache: Spoon the ganache evenly over the set potato chip layer. Smooth it out into an even layer. Allow ganache to firm up by letting it stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice and serve: Once ganache has hardened, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy a deliciously crunchy, sweet, and salty treat!

Notes

  • Wet your fingertips with water to prevent marshmallow mixture from sticking while pressing.
  • Use plain potato chips without seasoning for best flavor balance.
  • Chocolate ganache can be flavored with a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure chocolate chips are fully melted and smooth before topping for best texture.
