Why It Works

A South Korean snack-food obsession, at home. Read the Whole Story
  • Honey-butter marries with salted potato chips to create an over-the-top sweet-savory snack experience.
  • Smoky chipotle powder adds a layer of complexity, and helps balance out the honey's sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (40g; 45ml)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (30ml)
  • Chipotle chili powder, to taste
  • 4 ounces salted potato chips (115g)

Directions

  1. 1.

    In a large skillet with sloped sides, melt butter with honey over medium heat, stirring to combine. Stir in chipotle chili powder to taste (I use about 6 small pinches). Add potato chips and stir gently until well coated, lowering heat to prevent scorching if necessary. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm.
