From chocolate bars, ice cream, cookie dough and even breakfast waffles, it’s a go-to option for lovers of sweet and salty treats. But for chips? Well, we’re not sure about that. Luckily, the new Lay’s Salted Caramel flavor is here so we can finally give caramel chips a try!

The new Lay’s Salted Caramel flavor is out, and it deserves a spot in the dessert section
Instagram user @thejunkgoat was among the first to spot the new snack on shelves. It comes in purple packaging with a caramel bar and rock salt accents on the front. The flavor name is fairly straightforward. So, just like any other salted caramel treats, you can expect a sweet flavor with just the right level of saltiness to balance it out. As indicated on the packaging, it’s a “limited-time flavor,” so chances are, they’ll only be around for the holidays.

More people have recently spotted them at their local Kroger stores. It appears that they’re an exclusive offering, so be sure to drop by Kroger whenever you get the chance. So far, people on Instagram have nothing but positive things to say about the new variant.

According to @markie_devo, “The verdict is… they’re really good. It has notes of butterscotch, caramel, salt, and taste a bit like buttermilk.” Meanwhile, as per @i_need_a_snack_, “The taste is a perfect balance of sweet and salty and is extremely reminiscent of caramel corn!”
