‘Tis the season to be gluttonous, so Frito-Lay is rolling out milk chocolate-covered “wavy” potato chips.

The limited-edition $3.49 5-ounce bags will be shipped to Target stores starting today and will be on sale throughout the holiday season, a Frito-Lay spokesperson tells TIME. If consumers like them, the company will evaluate whether to make them permanent.

While chocolate-covered pretzels are a familiar sight, USA Today also cites the trend of sweet and salty potato chip flavors that have been on the market like Kettle’s maple-bacon or sweet ‘n’ salty Bugles flavors, like caramel and chocolate peanut butter.

You don't mix salty with milky/creamy, or salty with sweet. It simply is not done.

Please tell me that you are joking.

HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I'm quite sure Wyrd bið ful aræd is just blowin' smoke. :)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I hope so.

I mean, the guy doesn't eat cheese?

That is unnatural!

And then there is that Stilton with the little candied ginger bits. Sweet, spicy, salty, creamy goodness!

Have they been banned in New York yet? Wonder if they'll be added to the school lunch program!! Let's see: food groups: potatoes √ chocolate √ salt √ preservatives√ Yep! They pass muster. Pass the chips...

Salty and sweet goes together great. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Margaritas. PayDay candy bars. Chocolate covered pretzels. Baked beans with bacon. etc., etc.

I had chocolate covered potato chips a number of years ago. It was good, but nothing to get really emotional about.

Actually, chocolate covered chips are pretty good.

Another good combination is a peanut butter and potato chip sandwich.

That looks stomach churning.

Au contraire.

Crunchy and chocolaty!

[MaxMax]

Why did you post that? What were you, tired? L0L

[cynwoody]

How about bacon chocolate?

That raises the question, is chocolate halal or haram?

Upon the answer rests a potential hack!

BeeHive Cheese company [No. Utah] produces some great artisan cheeses with interesting flavors.

The White Stilton with Mango and Ginger Cheese you mention, is pretty good. I’ve served it with ripe Seckel pears for dessert. [I can’t imagine *who* would think you can *improve* on Silton....it’s beautiful by its onesy. IMO]:)

Bobby Flay serves a *Crunch Burger* in his burger bistro. It's pretty good.....I'm kinda a purest with burgers, tho.

You could experiment, invent a modified version of the Elvis sammie....peanut butter, chips, banana and bacon sandwich

Then you could be in *Throw-Down* with Bobby Flay.

LOL! Mrs. Joe has been using chocolate ice cream for chip dip for decades...
