Lay’s Salted Caramel Potato Chips might be surprising or unusual to most. But should it be at this point in snack history?<\/p>\n
First of all, this isn’t even the first salted caramel-flavored potato chip from a popular brand. That honor goes to the discontinued Salted Caramel Pringles<\/a> (R.I.P.). On top of that, this isn’t the first out of left field salted caramel-flavored product from a PepsiCo brand. That distinction goes to Salted Caramel Pepsi<\/a>. <\/p>\n Finally, it’s not surprising to see a sweet flavor from Lay’s, a brand that has offered Cappuccino and Cinnamon Bun flavored potato chips in the past. So if you take all of that into consideration, and the fact they all happened within the past six years, these chips are something we should’ve seen coming.<\/p>\n So are Lay’s Salted Caramel Potato Chips going to brighten your holiday or be the coal in your stocking?<\/p>\n In the photo below, the dark sections make the chips look as if they might’ve been fried in maple syrup. But they look that way due to the lighting. But they\u2019re noticeably darker than original Lay’s potato chips.<\/p>\n But they definitely don’t smell anything like potato chips. The aroma is intense. It’s sweet, buttery, and salty. If I had someone close their eyes and had them smell what was coming out of the bag, they wouldn’t guess it was coming from potato chips. And when they open their eyes, they would learn that I snuck away.<\/p>\n Its salted caramel flavor isn’t as potent as its aroma, but it’s also sweet, buttery, and, surprisingly, not as salty as I thought it would be. However, unlike with the smell, the underlying potato chip is easily noticed after a few chews with some chips.<\/p>\n While I can totally taste how this might not be everyones’ cup of Bigelow Salted Caramel Tea, especially if you’ve never tried potato chips that are sweet, I think this is a pleasant seasonal snack. Although, I kind of knew I’d like them since I did enjoy the aforementioned Salted Caramel Pringles and Pepsi.<\/p>\n Oh, I should mention I found these chips odd to eat as a sandwich side, which is how I eat potato chips most of the time. So they should be enjoyed on their own. Or maybe crushed on top of ice cream.<\/p>\n If you wish to try Lay’s Salted Caramel Potato Chips (on or off ice cream), there are two things you should know \u2014 the flavor is available for a limited time and is a Kroger exclusive.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> Way too much on eBay Lay’s Salted Caramel Potato Chips might be surprising or unusual to most. But should it be at this point in snack history? First of all, this isn’t even the first salted caramel-flavored potato chip from a popular brand.
