For years, I avoided potato chip flavors other than the occasional dip into sour cream & onion. And then I found Miss Vickie's, which have quickly become my guilty flavorful snack. Instead of just the classic concoctions, the Canadian brand looks outside the box with combinations like lime with pepper, roasted red pepper grill, sweet chili with sour cream, and my simple favorite: Honey and Roasted Garlic.I half love this brand because the flavors are so intense that it keeps me from eating more than a handful or two. But that's not quite the case with the honey/garlic variety. It's an incredibly smooth-flavored chip that has the potent taste of garlic that's cut with the vaguely there sweetness of honey. If you're a garlic fiend, these chips should be crispy, garlicy heaven.
Merge that with some tasty dip or maybe some sharp cheddar, and the whole thing is even better.

Did I miss the memo of it being potato chip week or something?

Coincidentally, roasted garlic and honey is my current hummus flavor of choice!

@Megan - Miss Vickie's started in New Lowell, Ontario, Canada. They then were produced in Canada and distrubuted country-wide. THEN Frito-Lay bought them in the mid 90's. It's still easily found in Canada, but tougher to find in the States. It's a Canadian BRAND, owned by Frito-Lay, not a Canadian company.

Yeah, what's with all the potato chip posts? Regardless, these sound amazing--I've seen Miss Vickie's around Boston, but not this flavor. Anyone know where I can find it?

Ah - on Friday we're running a follow-up to the plain potato chip tasting, Part 2 - Flavored Chips. Hence all the salty posts.
