Widman’s Famous Chocolate Covered Potato Chips, or Chippers, are now a world wide delight
Fargo-Moorehead CVB/Flickr Though the concept has been spreading and being adapted by many companies since decades ago, the original concept of the chipper came from right here in North Dakota at Widman’s. They serve them in a variety of types - shown above - including the three must-haves: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. They have the perfect salty-sweet combination that makes them truly addictive. Only Widman’s makes them best, using locally grown Red River Valley potatoes to make the chips and hand dipping each one into the gourmet chocolate.
Widman’s also has a location in Fargo, and if you’re far - no worries, you can order their candy to be delivered to you in the mail
