The world's largest snack maker is widening its own market by mixing sweet with salty in its snacks -- and is rolling out chocolate-covered Lay's Wavy chips for the holidays.

1. Makes me shudder to think what's in those

2. "chocolate" these days has little real chocolate in it.

But I gotta admit, the IDEA of choc. coated chips sounds good.

4. I like the idea too ...

you can be sure those were taste-tested up the whazoo and went through numerous focus groups, so they must be "good."

I just don't trust big food companies around chocolate.

3. Ecch! Do. Not. Want.

It looks like kiddie flavor ultra sweet milk chocolate, too.

Undoubtedly it will be a big seller, especially in the south and midwest and among hard core heroin addicts.

5. I've had them, not Lay's though

I love potato chips and have had a few chocolate covered chips at a chocolate shop. I can't remember how much they were a pound but about 8 cost me like 5$. I did not enjoy them. I'm sure cardiologists around the country are celebrating.

6. Trader Joes has been selling them

They are pricey.

7. Make them with decent dark chocolate, then we'll talk n/t

8. I think I'll stick with my deep fried twinkies......

...... for health reasons.

9. Just had some at a meeting

at work today. Someone brought them from a local candy store that started business in 1956! Very tasty. I was quite surprised!

10. I've had kettle chips before that were dipped in

chocolate about 3/4 of the way up leaving a spot to grab that does not have chocolate. I too wonder how good the chocolate will be on a mass produced chocolate covered chip.

11. My chocolatier makes these in milk and dark, using UTZ. Delicious. nt

12. I just heat up a handful of wavy lays and throw a handful of Gihardelli chips on to melt

while letting them toast lightly. It is the cure for PMS.
