Review of the New Cinnamon Flavored Sun Chips
Does it Stand Up to the Other Sun Chip Flavors?
I have long been a fan of the Sun Chips brand. They are multigrain, so that makes them slightly healthier than most of the other potatoes chips on the market that are fried. They also have a great light and crispy texture. Being that their new flavor was cinnamon, I just had to try them. I try all new cinnamon flavors of snacks that come out. The cinnamon flavored Sun Chips, made by Frito Lay, definitely are in the running for a good cinnamon snack, but I would not call them the winner. They do give you a decent amount of cinnamon flavoring on them. Their only downfall is the taste of salt that comes out after you first taste the cinnamon on your taste buds. I don't know if it's just the natural taste of the whole grains coming out of that enables the salt taste to be so prominent, but it is kind of a strange mixture. I think if they left the salt out, or put less of it on there, then these would be the winner in the cinnamon snack war. Now don't get me wrong, I love salt, but when you are expecting something to have a sweet cinnamon and sugar taste, you don't want it to be over powered by the taste of salt, at least not in this case. All in all I would give them 3.5 stars out of five.
Frito Lay's Sun Chips, no matter what their flavor, are among the healthier chip snacks on the market. They contain 30% less fat than normal potato chips, 0 trans fats, and no cholesterol. Each serving contains 18 grams of whole grains, which is reflected on the nutritional facts label as Total Carbohydrates. Those 18 grams of whole grains is one third of your daily recommended intake of whole grains, as stated on the back of the bag. Other flavors that are available are Original, Garden Salsa, Harvest Cheddar (my favorite), and French Onion.

Post a CommentI really like the sinnamon sunchips and found them in a grocery store for just one month. I have not found them since. They are by far my favorite chips from the Sun Chip line.

These chips are amazing! I'm eating some right now. =)
Wal-Mart carries them.
For now, the smaller bags are mainly going to be found in gas stations and convienence strores. Starting October 8th, the full size bags will be in a lot of grocery stores.
I too found the Cinnamon Sun Chips in a Vending Machine, but have yet to find a store which sells them.
Which grocery store did you find yours in? I found mine in a convenient store on campus, but nowhere else yet.
I liked the saltiness, though. It tasted a bit like butter and reminded me of cinnamon toast.
