The next chip flavor you’ll want to add to your snack rotation is here, folks, and it’s in the form of chili cheese-flavored Ruffles. The new flavor is currently a Kroger grocery chain exclusive but is set to hit other stores nationwide in 2021.
Instagrammer @markie_devo shared the news about the snack after receiving it from the Frito-Lay office. In the caption, the food-obsessed account gave a little disclaimer about the whole exclusive-to-Kroger situation: “The last flavor I posted was also supposed to be exclusive but was found at several Walmarts.” The snack the Instagrammer refers to here are Ruffles Double Crunch Honey Mustard chips. That means there's hope you may spot the flavor somewhere else! If you don't live near any Kroger stores, be on the lookout when you go on your next Walmart run.
People who have already tried the new flavor say it has a strong cheese taste with a slight chili flavor. One person wrote that they have tried the chili cheese flavor of Fritos and love the snack. Since both Fritos and Ruffles are Frito-Lay brands, the commenter figures that the Ruffles will likely taste good too.
If you’re into a lot of flavor, you could even dip the chili cheese Ruffles in actual chili cheese dip. Better yet, try ditching tortilla chips in favor of the Ruffles the next time you make nachos. In any case, what an exciting time to be a chip fanatic–especially one who loves Ruffles.
