Baked rice & corn crisps... these are really good and fun. Plus, they come in Zesty Guacamole flavor. Guilt-free guac-flavored chips?! Sign us up. There's also a Cheesy Nacho flavor, but we like the guacamole one better!

These are our go-to snack when we want some potato chips but DON'T want all the grease and fat that typically goes along with 'em. They come in a bunch of flavors (we're obsessed with Barbeque). Check here to see where you can find them or here to just order some online.

These are sturdy, slightly thick, and completely delicious. They're actually nothing like any baked chips you know. In Lightly Salted, Hickory Honey Barbeque, Aged White Cheddar, and new Sea Salt & Vinegar, they taste just like REGULAR potato chips... and good ones, too. Careful not to down the whole bag. BTW, the Lightly Salted ones come in 100-calorie packs.
