Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade snack combining the crunch of Ruffles potato chips with melty marshmallows and chocolate for a perfect sweet and salty treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Ruffles potato chips, crushed
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows (about 10 oz bag; classic or vegan options)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons honey or light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Place about 4 cups of Ruffles potato chips in a large mixing bowl and crush gently into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter and 3 cups mini marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and gooey (about 1.5 to 2 minutes). Alternatively, melt on low in a saucepan, stirring constantly.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey (or light corn syrup) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted marshmallow mixture.
  5. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the crushed Ruffles. Fold gently with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to coat all chips without crushing them.
  6. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips so they start melting slightly from residual heat.
  7. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press down firmly and evenly using a buttered spatula or parchment paper.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  9. Lift the treats out using the parchment edges and slice into squares or bars. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt if desired.

Notes

Do not over-press the mixture to maintain crunch. Melt marshmallows slowly in short bursts to avoid burning. Keep chip pieces bite-sized, not crumbs. Chilling is essential for texture. Sprinkle sea salt on top for an extra salty pop. Variations include adding nuts, using different chocolate types, or adding spices like cinnamon.
