Baguette Chips - #Giveaway

As I mentioned earlier, one of the snacks that we took along to our marathon sports day were Baguette Chips. This new product has 50% less fat than a regular potato chip and comes in two varieties - Cheddar Sun-Dried Tomato and Italian Cheese & Herb.

I have always been a fan of what I will call bread based chips. Whether it is those little chips you find in Chex mix or bagel chips or pita chips, there is just something so appealing about them to me. I think that they have a stronger crunch than a typical chip and they seem to hold and embody the seasoning that is applied - whether it is a simple sea salt or something like the Cheddar Sun-Dried Tomato and Italian Cheese & Herb. If you are looking for a chip to dip, they also make excellent carriers of even the strongest dips - Artichoke Dip, Hummus or a Cream Cheese based dip.

These new Baguette Chips did not disappoint. I rather enjoyed them. Since I am watching my calorie intake, I like that a 1 oz serving (~21 chips) is only 130 calories. To me, it feels like a satisfying size snack or side dish with a sandwich.
