I don’t know about you, but I have been noticing a serioustrend toward mixing the unexpected salty with something classically sweet lately.First I noticed it with bacon (you know what I’m talking about!), and then theother day I saw where someone had dipped potato chips in chocolate… CHOCOLATE, Isay! I couldn’t really jump on the bacon bandwagon, being vegetarian and all, butchocolate dipped potato chips I could do! Only, I decided to use plantain chipsinstead, and added some yummy toppings!
Plantain chips are one of my favorite snacks. They look likeregular banana chips, but that’s really where the resemblance ends. They tastemore like their potato counterpart, and are definitely a surprise if you’venever had them before. I get mine at SaveMart or Trader Joe's, and love havingthem around as a snack alternative. It just made sense to slather them withchocolate and other tasty toppings!
Getting Started
Making these yummy dipped treats is really straight forward.Start by melting your chocolate in the microwave, 10-15 seconds at a time (don’tburn the chocolate!) and stirring occasionally. While the chocolate is melting,set out all of your other ingredients; I used coconut and walnuts to mix thingsup, but I think toffee would be really great as well! 
After your chocolate ismelted, dip the plantains in about 1/2 -3/4 of the way, and then press bothsides into the toppings (it’s easiest if you put the toppings on a flatsurface), or leave plain. Place the dipped candies on wire racks, and refrigerateuntil solid (about 20 min). While you wait, fight over who gets to lick thechocolate bowl!
Wrapping it up
These treats are sweet, salty, and irresistible! Not to mention the fact that they are incredibly fast and easy to make. You andyour loved ones (if you decide to share) will eat these up!
