‘Tis the season to be gluttonous, so Frito-Lay is rolling out milk chocolate-covered “wavy” potato chips.

The limited-edition $3.49 5-ounce bags will be shipped to Target stores starting today and will be on sale throughout the holiday season, a Frito-Lay spokesperson tells TIME. If consumers like them, the company will evaluate whether to make them permanent.

While chocolate-covered pretzels are a familiar sight, USA Today also cites the trend of sweet and salty potato chip flavors that have been on the market like Kettle’s maple-bacon or sweet ‘n’ salty Bugles flavors, like caramel and chocolate peanut butter.

"Stay away from me, woman!"

[Huskrrrr]

Nobody can eat just one? Definately true!

Oh no you ditten.

[old and tired]

I’ve bought a similar item at the little store inside the Herr’s Potato Chip Factory. Let me tell you, they are deee-licious. Are they bad for ya? Heck yeah. But once in a while isn’t going to hurt you.

Nobody is forced to buy them.

Hey, if Chocolate coated pretzels are good, maybe this is too.

I like plain Lay’s myself

Tell THAT to Wegmans grocery chain: chocolate-covered peanut butter-filled pretzel nuggets. Small jar costs more than a large jar of same sans chocolate, and NO, you can’t eat just one handful of the salty-sweet-crunchy goodness that it is.

Getting a plain Lay.

I figured as much.

Raw potatoes are good too. Yeah that.

Look at that pig. Get too close to her, and she might inhale your arm.

Sonic has a peanut butter and bacon shake. If you ask real nice they’ll add chocolate. Yum!

Sugar and salt are basic to most confections and bakery items. Potatoes with chocolate would be the problem for me.

[discostu]

Oh you are so wrong. Salt and chocolate go GREAT together. Salt and sweet go GREAT together. It’s done, it’s done a lot, and the people who do it get fat because it tastes oh so good.

[Daffynition]

Some things transcend politics. :D

[SkyDancer]

How about bacon chocolate?

I’ve had that! Good food! It was a Georgian relative that put that together in a big tub. Thanks! I forgotten about that snack.
