SMASH KITCHEN HOT HONEY BBQ CHIPS — WORTH THE HYPE?

I spotted the Smash Kitchen Hot Honey BBQ Kettle Cooked Potato Chips and had to give them a try. I’m a sucker for a good kettle-cooked chip, but the real question was whether the hot honey BBQ flavor would actually deliver.

My first impression: that crunch is GOOD. 😮‍💨 The flavor starts off smoky and BBQ-forward, followed by a little sweetness from the honey and a subtle heat that kicks in afterward.

I like that the heat doesn’t completely overpower the BBQ flavor. They’re crunchy, flavorful, and definitely the kind of chip I could eat alongside a sandwich or burger.

The 6 oz bag is currently around $3.64 at Walmart, and one serving is listed at about 140 calories.

My verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Would I buy them again? Yes.

... Read moreIf you’re a fan of kettle-cooked potato chips, the Smash Kitchen Hot Honey BBQ flavor brings an exciting twist that’s hard to resist. Kettle cooking gives these chips a distinctive crunch and a hearty texture that regular chips often lack. The Hot Honey BBQ seasoning masterfully blends smoky barbecue notes with a sweet honey undertone, creating a complex flavor profile that appeals to both sweet and savory taste buds. One aspect I appreciate about these chips is the heat level. Rather than overwhelming your palate, it arrives as a gentle warmth after the initial flavor burst, making each chip flavorful without being too spicy. This makes them a nice companion for classic meals like sandwiches and burgers, adding a flavorful punch without overshadowing the main dish. The chips are made with USA potatoes, verified non-GMO, and seem to target health-conscious consumers by offering a reasonable calorie count of about 140 per serving. At around $3.64 for a 6 oz bag at Walmart, they position themselves as a premium snack option that delivers on taste. I also find these chips suitable for casual snacking as well as sharing at gatherings, thanks to their bold and balanced flavor. If you enjoy exploring new snack flavors that combine sweetness, spice, and smoky BBQ, Smash Kitchen’s Hot Honey BBQ chips are definitely worth a try. From my experience, they strike a great balance between crunchy texture, rich BBQ flavor, and a touch of heat, making them stand out in a crowded snack aisle.
