Chocolate Toffee Potato Chips Recipes

CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL MATZO TOFFEE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, allowing it to go up and over the edges of the pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment. Arrange matzo over parchment in an even layer, breaking pieces to fit as necessary.
• In a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring butter and sugar to a boil, whisking, until thickened and smooth, about 3 minutes. The mixture may separate, and that is O.K. Stir in vanilla and salt. Quickly pour mixture over matzos. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Sprinkle chocolate evenly over caramel and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread chocolate smoothly over surface of toffee. If you've used different kinds of chocolate, you can swirl them together decoratively.
• Immediately sprinkle melted chocolate with desired topping. Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and chill toffee 1 hour to set chocolate. Break matzo toffee into large pieces for storing and serving.

• Combine the butter, sugar, vanilla and vinegar in a sauce pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is light amber and a candy thermometer reads 320 degrees, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the 4 cups of chips, then immediately pour onto the baking sheet and spread in a thin layer. Gently press the reserved one cup chips on top and let cool.
• Put about 3/4 of the chocolate in a microwave safe glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, then continue to microwave 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Add the remaining chocolate and stir until smooth, about 4 minutes.

POTATO CHIP-CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, vanilla and salt on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and confectioners' sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes more. Scrape down sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add flour. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Add 1 cup/95 grams crushed potato chips and all the chocolate chips, then beat until blended.
• On a work surface, spread about half the remaining crushed potato chips out into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Turn dough out onto chips and pat it somewhat flat. Cover surface of dough with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a 7-by-11-inch rectangle (about 1/2-inch thick). Remove parchment or plastic.
• In a small bowl, beat egg, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water until very smooth. Lightly brush surface of dough with egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with remaining crushed potato chips. Roll the rolling pin over the top of dough to encourage chips to adhere. Use a bench scraper or knife to cut dough into 4 dozen 1 1/4-inch-square cookies. Transfer cookies with bench scraper or small offset spatula to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake 1 sheet of cookies at a time until set and golden, about 15 minutes. Let cookies cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.

CHOCOLATE COVERED POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Place about 3/4 of the chocolate into a heat safe bowl, and place over the top of a pan of simmering water. If you have a double boiler, use that. Heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate has melted, then continue to heat the chocolate to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), stirring occasionally. You may use a meat thermometer if your candy thermometer does not go that low.
• As soon as the melted chocolate reaches temperature, remove it from the heat, and stir in the remaining chopped chocolate until melted. Continue stirring until the chocolate has cooled to 90 degrees F (32 degrees C). Touching a dab of chocolate to your lip will feel cool.
• Use tongs to dip potato chips one at a time into the chocolate. Place on waxed paper starting at the point farthest from you and working your way in so as not to drip on your finished chips. Cool until set. You may refrigerate if you like.
