Here are some great chips you can snack on without feeling guilty - Cape Cod Reduced Fat Chips. Cape Cod Reduced Fat Chips offer some incredible crunch and great flavor without busting the belt. Cape Cod Reduced Fat Chips can be found in 8.5-ounce bags at your grocer for $3.49.

Flavor

I have been a fan of Cape Cod chips since I was young. They taste much better to in my opinion than most other brands of potato chip. Cape Cod boasts that their potato chips are kettle cooked. That makes all the difference in the world.

Cape Cod Potato Chips have real substance, and they aren't greasy or have a processed flavor.

While I've been eating regular Cape Cod Potato Chips for many years now, I hadn't tried the reduced fat variety.

For the record, Cape Cod states on this package that the 40% reduced fat claim compares these chips to "regular potato chips." The package further indicates that the 40% number is a direct comparison to the regular Cape Cod Potato Chips.

I actually can't taste much if any difference between regular Cape Cod Potato Chips and the Cape Cod Reduced Fat Chip. Both chips have an overall durable crunch, possess a full potato flavor, and leave a pleasant after flavor.

By the way, the ingredient list for Cape Cod Reduced Fat Chips is as follows: "select potatoes," canola oil, and salt. Wow - no multisyllabic words there, huh?! These chips taste just as wholesome as the simple ingredient list suggests.
