Miss Cheese

Miss Vickie's Farmhouse Cheddar

Cheesy potato chips are generally a safe bet. Everybody knows what cheese tastes like, everybody (?) likes cheese, and apparently it's an easy flavor to add to chips.

When I opened this package I didn't get quite the scent I expected. The chips smelled cheesy enough, but it was more of a musty, aged cheese than the bright plastic neon cheddar that the masses are used to. Of course I suppose that's to be expected since it clearly says "White Cheddar" - I just didn't expect to be able to smell the difference.

On the flavor side of things, these chips were really good. None of the musty aspects of the smell came through to the taste. They had a decent amount of cheddar flavor without going overboard.

There was a notable amount of white cheddar powder on the chips. It wasn't up to the level usually found on cheddar popcorn, but you'll still want a napkin handy when eating these.
