When you’re torn between wanting something chocolaty-sweet or something crunchy-salty these Potato Chip Brownies are your answer.
They are SO much fun for entertaining and I can pretty much guarantee they will be a hit at your next summer gathering. I mean, who isn’t going to be intrigued by this combination?
It’s pretty darn delicious.
And, they couldn’t be easier to make. Summer is not a time to be stressing over complicated recipes. Summer parties should be fun and relaxing and so should the food we serve.
I made use of a boxed brownie mix, but to make them really special I sprinkled the batter with semi-sweet chocolate chips and Wavy Lay’s Original Potato Chips before popping them in the oven. I specifically like Wavy Lay’s for this recipe. They are are substantial enough to handle being baked on top of brownie batter and those wavy edges just look really cool.
Potato Chip Brownies = awesome party food!
These brownies made the trek with us over to the beach one day last week.
We woke up to a gorgeous, warm day with tons of sunshine and blue skies and decided to hit the road! A perfect day to round up family and meet up with friends for an impromptu beach party.
These Potato Chip Brownies are a great choice whether you’re gathering in your own backyard for a weekend BBQ or packing up to head to the beach to watch fireworks on the 4th of July. With just a few ingredients and super easy prep, there’s still time to add them to your Memorial Day weekend menu.
My son, Jake, and his girlfriend, Mina, were pretty happy with the beach break. It’s a pretty good day when you get to head to the beach with brownies.
Bridget is always game for relaxing at the beach. And, I gotta say, I’m pretty okay with it too.

Amazing. I made these for my SO to take to work and two 9×13 trays were gone in about 2 hours. I do admit I used bugles instead of potato chips due to the seed oil used in potato chips, but everyone loved them and kept commenting how they were the best brownies they have ever had. Will definitely keep making. Sweet and salty gooey and crunchy! Perfect!
These are the bomb!! We mix crushed up mini pretzels and chips to top the brownies- def a PMS must have
ahhhh beloved sweet n salty-match made in heaven <3
Absolutely!
Never thought of potato chips and brownies together. Sweet and salty is my thing though; bet it’s tasty!
