Thick kettle-cooked potato chips carry a chilli seasoning with real heat, closer to straight chilli than sweet chilli. Chips are cut thick, so they stay crunchy under a fairly heavy coating, and the spice builds as you keep eating. In Aldi's Blackstone range, this sits away from the milder sour cream or sweet chilli-style flavours. It's a plain potato chip format with added seasoning, sold as a snack bag for eating straight from the pack. Heat doesn't hit right away but builds steadily after a few chips, settling into a warm tingle that sticks around. If you're used to sweet chilli and expecting more of the same, this one will catch you off guard.
