At the KALDI store, I found the "Indial Potato Chips Dark Chocolate Box" and "Same White Chocolate Box" (278 yen each, tax included) with eye-catching red and white packages. It is an imported confectionery from Spain.
When I bought it and tried it, it didn't have the delicacy of Japanese chocolate-covered potato chips, but the rough feeling was rather good! I would like to introduce it because it was a magical snack that made me think. If you eat one, you may not be able to stop ...!
◆ Thick potatoes and chocolate
This product is thick-sliced corrugated potato chips coated with dark chocolate and white chocolate. In some cases, there is too much chocolate and the chips stick together to form a huge chunk.◆ Dark is bitter, white is sweet
Dark chocolate has a thick chocolate part and a cocoa flavor that is firmly bitter, so it gives the impression that you are eating crunchy chocolate rather than potato chips. It is for adults because it has no sweetness.White chocolate, on the other hand, is sweet and milky. It's more mellow than dark chocolate, and it may be better balanced with the saltiness of the potato chips.
In both cases, after the taste of chocolate comes to the fore, the umami of potatoes, the richness of oil, and the saltiness ooze out, and they mix exquisitely with the chocolate that remains in the mouth. One piece is big and the chocolate is thick, so you can enjoy chocolate and potato chips.
However, chocolate is always attached to your hands when you eat, so it is recommended to prepare a hand wipe or eat with chopsticks!
