Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen or fresh French fries
- 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or drizzle of white chocolate
Directions
- Cook the fries:
- If using frozen fries, bake or air-fry according to package instructions until crispy.
- If using fresh potatoes, cut into fries, toss with a little oil, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Melt the chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil/butter (if using).
- Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Dip the fries:
- Let fries cool for a few minutes so the chocolate doesn’t immediately slide off.
- Dip each fry halfway into the melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate over fries using a spoon.
- Add toppings:
- While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with sea salt or any optional toppings you like.
- Set the chocolate:
- Place the fries on a parchment-lined tray and let the chocolate harden at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, or refrigerate for 5–10 minutes for faster setting.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Enjoy immediately as a fun sweet-and-salty treat!
Chef’s Tip:
For the perfect balance of flavors, try using crispy shoestring fries and high-quality chocolate. A tiny pinch of sea salt on top really elevates the sweetness and brings out the chocolate’s richness!
