Chips are a summer food we always enjoy in my house. This year my son has loved to say "Chips" for some reason the word cracks him up. He will point to the cupboard and ask for chips with his lunch.

| My son loves these ones. I like that they are tasty and dont get his hands coated in cheese powder |

| These were my favorite! |
We had our chips as a snack during the afternoon while we played video games and watched cartoons. I really enjoyed the plain potato chips too. They had a great crunch and were not greasy. We served some with a clam dip for dinner with steak. It was a hit.
