Idaho Janes

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then set it aside. This will prevent the candies from sticking and make for easy cleanup.
2. Melt Chocolate: Add the 12 oz of white or semi-sweet chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring well in between each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the 1 1/4 cups of chopped walnuts and 3 cups of crushed Ruffles potato chips to the bowl with the melted chocolate. Mix until all the walnuts and potato chips are evenly incorporated and coated with the chocolate.
4. Cool Slightly: Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes. This helps it set a bit and makes it easier to scoop.
5. Scoop Mounds: Use a small cookie scoop (or two spoons) to scoop the mixture into small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Cool & Store: Allow the candies to fully cool and set at room temperature (or in the refrigerator for faster setting). Once firm, store the Idaho Janes in an airtight container or bag until ready to enjoy.

Enjoy these delightfully crunchy and sweet-and-salty Idaho Janes!
