Kettle Chips Baked Camembert & Oak Smoked Garlic Review

Presenting another atas potato chip review. 
I bought this together with the Bacon & Maple Syrup flavor (review here).

Kettle Chips Baked Camembert & Oak Smoked Garlic

It always sounds nicer when you over play the ingredients and cooking methods

Taste Review

Taste - 8/10
As with all cheese flavored snacks, a strong cheesy aroma attacks my nose when I opened the bag. That's pretty typical but the smell is actually distinctively different from the usual cheddar flavorings used in most chips. This smells... well kinda similar to... surprise surprise! Baked camembert. The taste was good. The smoky garlic taste comes through quite well, followed by a pleasant sweet cheesiness followed by a creaminess finish. Certainly a very happy ending to each crispy bite.

Texture - 9/10
Solid thick chunky signature Kettle chips texture. QC pass.

Cost - 2/10
Same damage of $5.95 per bag like the bag of broken dreams that is the Bacon & Maple Syrup except this actually tastes like what it promises. Camembert happiness.

Tasting Notes
It's definitely a unique potato chip for an occasional indulgence though it lacks a certain kick that keeps it moreish like its more common cousin, the Honey Dijon. That's why I gave it an 8/10 for taste. I'd buy it for parties to be a talking point but I won't stock up on it at home.



TLDR version
Good for a passionate fling once in awhile but not a keeper.
