Potato Chip Marshmallow Bar Recipe
Description
This recipe creates a dessert bar by melting mini marshmallows and butter together with vanilla to form a sticky, sweet base. Lightly crushed salted potato chips are folded into the mixture, adding a salty crunch that balances the sweetness. The mixture is pressed into a parchment-lined pan to set and cool.
Once firm, the bars are cut into shapes and dipped partially in melted milk chocolate candy melts. They are then decorated with candy-coated chocolate chips or mini chocolate sprinkles while the chocolate is still tacky, providing a colorful, textured finish. The bars blend creamy marshmallow sweetness, crunchy saltiness from potato chips, and smooth chocolate coating, creating a layered treat.
They make a snack or dessert that contrasts flavors and textures, appealing to those who enjoy sweet and salty combinations.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter salted
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 18 ounce potato chips lightly crushed, bag, brand Ruffles
- 8 ounces milk chocolate candy melts

Instructions
