Ingredients
Instructions
- Crush the can of Pringles potato chips into small pieces.
- Melt the white almond bark in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
- Stir the crushed potato chips and Spanish peanuts into the melted bark until evenly coated.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
- Allow the candies to set until hard.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using dark or milk chocolate almond bark instead of white for a richer flavor. You can substitute regular peanuts with roasted or honey-roasted varieties for added sweetness. Ensure the crushed Pringles are uniform in size to achieve a consistent coating. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly grease your hands before forming the candies.
Serving Suggestions
These candies make a delightful treat for parties or as a sweet snack while enjoying a movie. They pair beautifully with Nutty Fruit Salad for a contrasting flavor experience. Consider serving alongside a bowl of Sweet Pickles(14 Days) for a unique sweet and savory combination that guests will love.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pringle's Candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid refrigeration, as it may cause the candy to become soggy. If you need to reheat the almond bark, do so in short increments in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chip instead of Pringles?
Yes, feel free to experiment with other types of potato chips, such as ridged chips or kettle-cooked varieties. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor will vary, which can change the overall taste of the candy.
Is there a vegan alternative for the almond bark?
Yes, you can find vegan chocolate or candy melts that are dairy-free. Look for options that specify they are made without dairy ingredients to ensure they fit vegan recipes. This substitution will still yield delicious results!
How do I prevent the candy from sticking to the wax paper?
To prevent sticking, you can lightly grease the wax paper with cooking spray or oil before dropping the mixture onto it. Alternatively, using parchment paper can help as it is less sticky and will allow for easier removal of the candies once set.
