Salty and Sweet Ruffles Marshmallow Treats Recipe
I love when my parents come to visit. They live on the other side of the state so we do not get to see them as often as we would like.
This trip my Mom showed up with a pile of recipe ideas. I had forewarned her that I was looking forward to having her in the kitchen with me.
She came prepared! The first recipe she wanted to make was Salty and Sweet Ruffles Marshmallow Treats.
I have to admit I thought she had lost her mind. Don't get me wrong I love marshmallow treats but making them with potato chips had never even crossed my mind.
She told me that she was sure the sweet and salty combination would be absolutely amazing. This from a woman who LOVES potato chips!
Who am I to tell my Mom no and that she is crazy...I might have thought it a few times but I tried to hold it back for the most part 🙂
I hate to admit it in writing but my Mom was right...yes Mom you can totally print that and show it to me every time I disagree with you 🙂
The combination of salty and sweet was well really good. I kept going back for another piece because the flavor was so not what I expected.
I am interested to try and make a few other adaptions of this recipe. Keep an eye out for future interesting marshmallow treats.
Have you made any fun marshmallow treats? I would love to hear about them! We made crunch berry marshmallow treats that were a lot of fun.

I can't believe I came across this. In August I got together with friends that are all BIG fans of marshmallow anything. Bringing the infamous krispie treats is just traditional. There have been the variations of course. Mini chips, peanut butter chips, pastel colored marshmallows, M&M's, nuts (salted and unsalted) toasted coconut and chocolate covered peanuts and raisins. So I decided to try pretzles. I made them just like you did with the chips, only I used a rolling pin on a bag of pretzles. They started out to be a joke , but turned out to be the first dessert to be eaten completely. So made them again for a family gathering and this time I used mini chips too. Who doesn't love chocolate covered pretzels? They too were the first dessert to go and they were gone before dinner. When they found out what they were everyone wanted to taste them and they didn't stop till they were gone. Sometimes I melt chocolate and just cover the top like a frosting, or dip half, or drizzle with caramel. Now I will bring your potato chip treats, because we are all chip lovers and they sound awesome. What's not to love?

These were good, but I had to add one more T of butter, and a total of 6 cups of marshmallows for 6 cups of Ruffles. Without adding the extra, there wasn't enough marshmallow to mix with the chips. It was 90 degrees on the day I made these, so my husband put the pan in the sunroom while I melted more marshmallows. They turned out fine with the extra marshmallow.

My husband loves kettle chips. Have you tried other types?
Michelle
Ok I made these tonight and omg! Really good! The only thing I would do differently next time is adding chocolate chips or a chocolate drizzle. Yum!

Hello, sweet and salty deliciousness! These look sooo amazing! I love chocolate ice cream with potato chips and now I must try this combo! Mmmmmmmmmm Speaking of unusual combinations, my son just discovered mayo and thinks mixing mayo and grape jelly together would be good....I will never concede to eating that! LOL
