Wavy Lay's Potato Chip & ROLD GOLD Pretzel Fudge (to be exact) takes about 10 minutes of actual cook time, and then just requires a bit of time to harden in the fridge. It’s loaded with Lay’s Wavy Potato chips to give it that salty and crunchy quality that’s so often missing in fudge. You know when it’s too sweet and needs a little something to counteract all the sugar… well here ya go! It’s sweet AND salty fudge and it couldn’t be easier! Grab a bag of the Lay’s Wavy potato chips for this recipe and you’re ready to go. You could use the regular Lay’s potato chips if you already have some on hand… but I feel like the Wavy ones give it a bit more pizzazz!

Once it’s hardened in the fridge, just pop the fudge out, cut it into 9 big squares, or 36 small squares and head over to a pool party! Just remember to keep it refrigerated before serving because there is NOTHING better than a chilled piece of fudge on a hot summer day.
