A few weeks ago, I spotted these on the shelves. But I didn't buy them then. I was second-guessing myself as to whether or not they were "new" since I didn't see the word "new" on the bag. They were placed next to the "Hint of Lime" Tostitos (which I've definitely had before and love!) so I was thinking to myself, "Maybe I've just never noticed these before."
After some digging around, I learned that the Hint of Jalapeno Tostitos are indeed new, so back to the store I went.

If you ever ask me what some of my favorite snack foods are, chips (whether potato or tortilla) always win. And chips and salsa, guac, queso... The list goes on. However, I love the Hint of Lime chips by themselves, so I figured I probably would be fine w/o any dippers for these as well.
Yesterday, I was feeling pretty gross all day - bloated (a way a man will never understand). I got home from work and saw the bag waiting for me. I debated if I wanted to try them then since I risked the chance of intensifying my gross feeling. But let's face it. I'm a glutton (and for punishment!) so I decided to go for it.
Upon opening them, I could smell the jalapeno scent immediately. I wouldn't say it's a strong enough scent to make your eyes water. (PS - I love spicy foods so even if that had been the case, it probably would have intrigued me more.) The best part about these chips - they're actual chips. None of these crumbs and half-assed size chips. Full chips that if you wanted to dip, they shouldn't break and be worthwhile of getting a decent amount of dip without having to buy the "Scoops".
Anyway, I failed to take a picture of the "seasoning" that you can see on them, but it's there so you'll just have to take my word for it. As soon as I tried it, I knew I was in trouble. I grabbed another, and another, and another. This was a snaccident (this is when you only mean to eat a few, but accidentally eat them all) in the making. Eventually, I came to my senses and stopped binging on them. I also wanted my fiance to try them, too.
Are they spicy? In my opinion, no. They have the right amount of flavor without causing you to breathe heavily and chug water/milk. All in all, I'd give them an 8/10, because quite frankly, I could use a little extra heat 😉
