I’m always so happy when I get an extremely mini bag of these on a plane and then sad with how quickly it’s finished. It’s a tease that should be illegal. When I saw this Christmas version with peppermint at Whole Foods I knew I had to try it.
These crisps are made with premium chocolate, crispy quinoa, and crushed peppermints. I’m a fan of all three and can’t see how this could go wrong. The issue with high expectations is that the fall is long enough to hurt.
I can’t put my finger on it, but these aren’t cravable. It doesn’t invoke that feeling you get with a bag of lays. Each bite sized crisp is okay – you get a ton of that crunchy peppermint with the dark chocolate lingering at the end. It’s a great combo with nothing necessarily wrong with it… just my indifference.
The bag is small and they’re easy to eat. The bag includes 3 servings with each one being 8 pieces. 24 bites and you’re done. My mentality with sweets is usually that I can’t stop after starting. Therefore, I already accounted for the nutrition before indulging, but I was over it about halfway through. They just don’t have that oomph.
Do they at least feel like Christmas? Eh, I guess. It has peppermint and that’s definitely Xmas. It just feels like I got something from the bottom of my wishlist.
