Terra Crinkles Sweet Potato Chips

Terra chips first entered the “snack” market with their colorful veggie chips over 20 years ago. I remember reaching past the funky colored veggie chips to grab regular potato chips, pretzels or tortilla chips. I didn’t give them a try until I was out of college and actually concerned about what I was putting into my body. – Having some cash also helped.

I picked up an over-sized bag of Terra Crinkles Sweet Potato Sea Salt chips 6 months ago at Costco. I pretty much fell in love. I brought them to several events and parties, created some yogurt based dips, and knew that I would continue to purchase them.

While shopping at Henry’s last month, I saw a display of Terra Crinkles Candied Sweet Potato chips. I immediately threw a small bag into my cart to give the sweeter option a try.

I was pleasantly surprised at the cinnamon/sugar flavors – they were dusted with Indonesian cinnamon and classic brown sugar, but they were REALLY sweet. It was sweet on sweet for sure. I definitely liked the sea salt flavor better. Not to say that I wouldn’t buy them again – I absolutely will – it’s just that they satisfy a different craving – I usually crave a combo of sweet and salty things and the sea salted sweet potato chip was the perfect blend for me. I did end up dipping the candied version in vanilla Chobani and that = yum! More of a dessert option.

This was not a small bowl of chips ;).  I admit to having a distorted view when it comes to portion control and chips – the same goes for cereal. It’s a weakness.

Question: Do you like/crave sweet or salty snacks or a combo?

P.S., I noticed that Terra chips had a coupon link on their website – so head on over to grab $1.00 off coupon if you’re interested.
