With the holiday season in full swing, ALDI has introduced two unique potato chip flavors inspired by classic Thanksgiving dishes: Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Turkey Stuffing.
These Clancy’s wavy chips promise to bring the holiday feast straight to your snack bowl. But do they live up to the Thanksgiving hype? We put them to the test to see if these festive chips are love-worthy or best left on the shelf.
Why We Love This
ALDI has a knack for creating fun, seasonal items, and these Thanksgiving-inspired chips are no exception.
They capture the spirit of Thanksgiving with flavors that bring a twist to traditional holiday foods, all in a convenient snack form. Perfect for holiday parties or cozy nights in, these chips offer a unique and festive snacking experience.
Look Review
Both chip bags are visually appealing and holiday-themed. The Garlic Mashed chips come in a green bag with a rustic farmhouse illustration, evoking a home-cooked feel.
The Turkey Stuffing chips are packaged in a deep red bag adorned with a turkey illustration and festive designs that scream Thanksgiving. The chips themselves are thick-cut with deep ridges, which make them ideal for capturing intense flavor and creating a hearty crunch.
Taste Review
Garlic Mashed: The Garlic Mashed chips deliver a rich, creamy garlic flavor with a hint of buttery goodness that really does remind you of mashed potatoes. The garlic is present but not overpowering, giving these chips a savory taste that’s satisfying without being overwhelming.
Turkey Stuffing: The Turkey Stuffing chips, on the other hand, pack a punch with sage and herb flavors, mimicking the taste of traditional stuffing. They have a bold seasoning that includes hints of turkey broth, onions, and celery, creating an impressive resemblance to Thanksgiving stuffing. These chips are bolder than the Garlic Mashed flavor and will likely appeal to stuffing lovers.
