Charcuterie Chips (Viral Recipe)

I’m excited to share a twist on snacking that’s been taking the internet by storm, Viral Charcuterie Chips. This recipe combines the crunchy satisfaction of kettle chips with the indulgent flavors of a charcuterie board, perfect for game day or a cozy night in with the family.

If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok lately (or if your teens have been showing you every viral food trend under the sun like mine do), you’ve probably seen these crispy, cheesy charcuterie chips pop up.

It’s like someone took all the best parts of a charcuterie board, tossed them on a chip, and baked them until melty and magical.

This isn’t just snack food—this is a delicious appetizer, a light dinner idea, a game day MVP, and, let’s be honest, a steak lover’s dream if you’re bold enough to throw some flank steak bites or chimichurri sauce into the mix. Yes, I went there.

Too busy to make this right away? Pin it for later! Pin this post to your favorite board on Pinterest and it will be there when you’re ready!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe


This is an easy recipe that’s all about different textures and flavor combos. The salty prosciutto, creamy cheeses, and crispy chips create the perfect balance of a cracker and a cheese board—all in one bite.

It’s also super customizable, think boursin cheese, earthy blue cheese, or even goat cheese from your cheese drawer.

It’s the kind of snack that’s just as perfect for Sunday brunch as it is for a casual family gathering with good company and a couple of small bowls of different dips like ranch dip, french onion dip, or that guacamole recipe you swear by.

At our house, this tray of next-level chip bliss disappears faster than a bag of Halloween candy in a room full of teenage boys. (And believe me, that’s saying something.)

Ingredients

  • Plain Kettle Chips – I use Mrs. Vickies Original, thick cut kettle style for that perfect sturdy crunch.
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded – because stretchy cheese is always a win!
  • Brie cheese, sliced – gooey, creamy, and just bougie enough.
  • Prosciutto – salty, savory, and totally snackable.
  • Cowboy candy – adds a spicy twist that balances all that richness. I love the cowboy candy from Rad Jamz – a local company here in the Okanagan.
  • Pickles, optional – for that tangy little kick.
  • Cherry jam, optional – sweet and savory heaven.
  • Hot honey, optional – gives it that drizzle of sweet heat!

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Spread the type of chip you’ve chosen evenly over the tray—I recommend thick cut kettle chips, but you do you.

3. Sprinkle mozzarella and place slices of brie right over the chips, then layer in that glorious prosciutto.

4. Bake for 8–10 minutes, just until the cheese starts to melt and bubble.

5. Pull it out and top with whatever extras you love—cowboy candy, pickles, jam, or even a dollop of sour cream.

6. Serve directly from the tray, or place them on a large board or large serving platter for a fancier touch.

My teens love grabbing these straight from the tray while hovering like food vultures in the kitchen. Pro tip? Make two trays. One for sharing… and one you “accidentally” leave in the oven for yourself.

Tips for Making Viral Charcuterie Chips

  • Try different flavor combinations – swap in nacho cheese chips, regular potato chips, or veggie chips for a lighter option or a baked flatbread pizza vibe.
  • Use what’s in your cheese drawer – From crumbly feta to boursin cheese, don’t be afraid to experiment.
  • Serve with dips in separate small serving bowls – Sour cream, ranch dip, or even a garlicky herby sauce make it even more fun.
  • No oven? – You can totally cheat with a microwave oven. Just arrange in a small microwave-safe serving bowl and zap in 30-second intervals until gooey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this for a big crowd?
Totally! Just use a large board or tray and double up the ingredients. Perfect for game day, potlucks, or even Mother’s Day brunch with a savory twist.

What’s cowboy candy?
It’s candied jalapeños and let me tell you—it brings that spicy twist and adds a serious kick to this dish. You can find it at most grocery stores or make your own if you’re feeling ambitious.

Can I make a vegetarian version?
Absolutely. Skip the prosciutto and load up on extra cheese, olives, or roasted veggies. And don’t forget to place queso dip on the side for extra indulgence!
