You should try this with candied ginger in place of potato chips.

These will be so much tastier if you substitute four tablespoons heavy cream for the vegetable shortening. That will make a chocolate ganache to dip the chips into, which will be smoother and meltier in your mouth. You can also use it to dip pretzels and fruit. Plus, you can flavor it with a spoonful or two of your favorite tipple.
