Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed potato chips
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (can substitute with other baking chocolate)
  • Sprinkles, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheets: Line two small rimmed baking sheets with wax paper. Choose sheets small enough to fit comfortably inside your refrigerator for chilling.
  2. Melt the white chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Combine ingredients: Stir the crushed potato chips and chopped nuts into the melted white chocolate until they are evenly coated.
  4. Form clusters: Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop individual clusters onto the prepared baking sheets in small mounds.
  5. Add sprinkles: Sprinkle your chosen sprinkles over each cluster to decorate.
  6. Chill to set: Transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator and allow the clusters to set for about 30 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips if preferred.
  • Use any type of nuts you like or omit them for a nut-free version.
  • Store the candy clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and crunchy.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon to the cluster mixture.
