WOW! Our pals over at GG have reformulated their classic chips, which come in a gazillion varieties! The new chips are crispier and more packed with flavor than before. We tried a bunch of 'em…

Mucho Nacho - AWESOMELY cheesy!

Chipotle - Fantastic, a bit HOT, and a tiny bit sweet.

Yellow Corn - GREAT for recipes! A solid chip.

Blue Corn - Good, but slightly boring.

Spicy Black Bean - Sassy and VERY beany. Yum!

Chile Lime - Has a not-so-hot, fake lime taste. Skip it.

Unsalted Yellow Corn - Great, especially if you prefer a plainer chip.

DANIELLE'S COMMENTS: Do yourself a favor and read the labels at the grocery store. Make an attempt to minimize calories, while entertaining your guests. Personally, I get so nervous durning the game that, raw vegetables and a light veggie dip are all I need. Plus, most of us feel like we are going to have a heart attack during close games anyway. Don't clog your guests arteries anymore than they already are. AVOID high-calorie / high -FAT foods. (Pizza, cheese dips, french fries, chips, etc.) Make a nice healthy meal.......ummmmmm, other than filling your table with JUNK. Holla~
