REVIEW – Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips

We'd love it if you shared it!

We’re big snackers here and potato chips are a favorite. I was thrilled to receive the opportunity to try Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips, a brand of chip that until now wasn’t available here on the East Coast.

MY THOUGHTS

I received samples of Hawaiian Kettle’s new Sweet Maui Onion and Luau BBQ flavored chips. The chips were super crunchy and super tasty. I really liked the Sweet Maui Onion, it’s my new favorite. The flavor was different than that of a sour cream and onion chip, much better in my opinion. The Luau BBQ are a little sweet and a little spicy, just a tiny bit too spicy for people like me that don’t like super spicy things but perfect for people like RB that like a little heat. I’d best describe them as having a little kick.

Hawaiian™ Kettle Style Potato Chips are available in a range of sizes including 2 oz. bags, 8 oz. bags (SRP $2.99‐$3.49), 16 oz. Bags and 32 oz. bags. Hawaiian™ Kettle Style Potato Chips are distributed by Tim’s Cascade Snacks® and Snyder of Berlin®.
