\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s that time of year again!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that time when 90 percent of the children who ask for a pony for Christmas don\u2019t get one, the Today Show has segments about the most popular and the most dangerous toys this holiday season, and when Pringles comes out with a new limited edition sweet Pringles flavor.<\/p>\n

This year, Julius Pringles is pushing Limited Time Only Milk Chocolate Pringles.<\/p>\n

For those of you who have been living a sheltered life for the past few years, this whole sweet Pringles thing started back in 2012 when Pumpkin Pie Spice, White Chocolate Peppermint, and Cinnamon & Sugar Pringles were released. <\/p>\n

Last year, White Chocolate and Pecan Pie Pringles popped up on store shelves here in the U.S. and Mint Choc Pringles in the U.K. With Milk Chocolate Pringles now available, I predict we\u2019ll see Sea Salt Caramel Pringles in 2015.<\/p>\n

After peeling back the foil top of the Pringles can, I took a whiff. It smells like I was a mile downwind from a Color Run that used only brown Nesquik and the course went around a potato chip factory. <\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

The sweet seasoning, which is brown in color and made with cocoa, makes each crisp look like it was used as a Swiffer cloth. But I don\u2019t believe there\u2019s enough flavoring on each potato crisp, because it doesn\u2019t equate to a noticeable milk chocolate flavor. I had to French kiss several Limited Time Only Milk Chocolate Pringles at one time to get a decent milk chocolate flavor. Actually, I wouldn’t even call it “milk chocolate.” If they called this flavor Hot Cocoa, that would be more believable.<\/p>\n

Also, whatever chocolate flavor there is doesn\u2019t last very long. And once it\u2019s gone, all that\u2019s left is the underlying dry potato crisp. You might think, \u201cHey, if it\u2019s a dry potato crisp, then it must taste like a regular Pringle.\u201d Oh no, my soon to be disappointed friend, the flavor that remains is not like regular Pringles. There\u2019s not much salt to hide the potato crisp\u2019s naked flavor. It\u2019s not gross, but I imagine it\u2019s what a very low sodium Diet Pringles would taste like.<\/p>\n

Overall, Milk Chocolate Pringles is my least favorite of all the sweet Pringles flavors I\u2019ve tried. Instead of milk chocolate-flavored Pringles, I wish the Kellogg Company used all the processed food technology they have at their disposal to make milk chocolate-covered Pringles. <\/p>\n

Of course, there might be problems, like potato crisps sticking together because of melted chocolate or me reaching 300 percent of my daily saturated fat in one day because I might eat the entire can in a 30 minute session. But I say it’s worth the risk.<\/p>\n
