    Got my sample boxes yesterday and tried both the butter and sweet and salty flavours.

    I personally like the sweet and Salty the best. They are light and crispy and have a rice cracker consistancy. I like that they are crunchy as they remind me of chips without the greasiness and calories. 80 calories for 20 chips is pretty good considering chips are usually about 300 for 18.

    They were sasitisfying enough that I will probably buy them again depending on price. If they are 2.99 and under i would purchase them if higher I probably would not.

    Overall I give them a 4 out of 5! Very good taste and crunch!

    So I received 2 boxes of the this Special K popcorn Chips Sweet & Salty and Butter Flavor, and I was so excited to try them! My first impression of them was a bit ok, but then I continued eating them and they were really good. The consistency reminded me of Rice Cakes somewhat. The flavors were really light and airy and for 80 calories you can eat 20 of these bite sized delicious snacks.

    I am always trying to find healthy alternatives to snacks for my family and although my little one claimed it was not for him! lol. My Husband quite enjoyed it *shocker*

    I brought the box to work and had a few colleagues try the chips and they loved it as well! So I believe that the Special K popcorn Chips are a Hit! And will definitely be purchasing these in the future.

    I also received two boxes from Chick Advisor. I opened right away and my boyfriend and I crunched away! I like the texture and the Butter flavour. I like the way they satisfy my salt craving. I am a huge chip fan and always trying out snacks like these to try to replace my chip cravings. These might be it! I liked the crunch and they are a much healthier option! Thanks Chick Advisor!

    I received this product to try for free and me and my family recommend them as a healthy, low fat, low sodium cracker type snack. The flavours were good, however, the butter flavour could be a bit more buttery like. If your looking for a light, healthy, crispy snack these are a sure thing! My kids enjoyed them for school snacks and l would recommend them to anyone.

    I received the Special K popcorn chips to test and review for free from ChickAdvisor and overall, I was happy with the product. We received the butter flavour as well as the sweet and salty. The sweet and salty ones were not to the households' tastes. They were ok at first but then left an unpleasant taste in your mouth afterwards. The butter flavoured popcorn chips were much better and did have an after taste but were a great snack while watching some late night tv. They were fresh, crunchy, flavourful and did taste like a nice bowl of popcorn but with some added crunch. It gave you the feeling of eating a chip without the calories, which was a great deal! They're similar to Breton pop chips in texture, just to compare. I would buy the butter flavoured ones again (and possibly other flavours) and recommend them to someone looking for a nice, low calorie and crisp snack.

    I was given this product free to test and review.
    I received the sweet&salty;and butter flavor.
    sweet and salty were my favorite of the 2. (i'm just not a big butter person)
    i love the size of them, a bit small that normal cracker/chips.
    my girls thought they were great and i see them going to school in their lunch.
    My husband thought they were ok, nothing 'wow' about them, but good.
    I do think the quality of these are great. This is a great new product and I may buy them again. the taste and texture is different enough that it may keep me buying them from time to time just for that little something different.

    I was sent (2) full size free boxes to try (Butter & sweet/salty) and was not otherwise compensated for this review

    Of course the package was waiting when everyone arrived home from work/school today, needless to say they didn't last very long! I live in a house with all boys and they just inhale food, they don't really taste it. I was able to snag a handful of each they have a satisfying, lasting crunch. I liked the sweet & salty flavour the best. It has a nice not too sweet, not too salty balance and had less ingredients. I found the butter flavour a little overly salty for my liking..didn't seem to bother the boys, I asked if they wanted more, they all agreed they'd eat more and commented there's not a lot in the box lol
    Would I buy more? Maybe? As far as salty snacks go they are fair carb wise 20 chips has 16g. With 1g of sugar
    They're a better replacement for fried chips for sure when you crave a salty crunch

    I was chosen as a tester for the product and received the butter flavour and sweet & salty free to try.

    I love sweet & salty popcorn so thought it would be a lighter way to get my craving fixed. It was lightly sweet but missing on a tad more of the salt. I gave some to my children (2 and 3.5 years old) and they loved them!! The thin form of it resembles the potato chip so they thought it was fantastic.

    The butter flavour was by far my favorite. The little snack sized popcorn chips have big flavour with the butter and I love it! I would normally buy the butter flavoured popcorn cakes but this is much better!! The texture of the popcorn chip is nice and crisp and in a small triangular shape like a tortilla chip. These will certainly be making its way onto our snack table and my lunch bag for work!

    Would recommend this product to someone looking for a lighter snack that can satisfy their cravings for that salty treat, like Buttered popcorn. I will be buying it in the future and letting my friends know about it. Unfortunately, the sweet & salty wasn't quite up to my taste for what I expected but my children did like the slightly sweet chips. I will probably pass on this flavour if I buy again and stick with the butter flavour!

    I received these today thanks to the Chick Advisor review team, I received both the Sweet n Salty and the Buttery flavours.

    Buttery
    The Buttery flavour was highly flavoured, and a little powerdery. It tasted almost exactly like the smartfoods buttery popcorn you can buy - you know the taste, so buttery it tastes vaguely cheesy. Personally, I do not like this flavour so my husband tasted them on my behalf and really liked the flavour!

    Sweet and Salty
    The sweet flavour is definitely more powerful than the salt in these ones. I would say the salt flavour is there, but it is very very faint. I really liked the flavour on them, and the first bite tasted like the "Cinema Sweet" flavour we have in the UK, I really liked the sweetness, it was a nice change.

    Over all, these chips were very well flavoured, and very crisp and light. I found myself grabbing them in handfuls at a time they were so light. They taste very much like popcorn, but have a satisfying crunch with one of the pesky kernels to choke you as you eat!

    The box makes them look more like a cracker, but they really taste more like a chip, very similar to a Snacker-Jacks rice cake, only much thinner and crisper.

    The more I ate, the dryer I found them if I ate a few chips in a row, I found my mouth extremely dry and found the chips difficult to swallow, this was very different from eating normal chips.

    All in all I would recommend these, and would probably buy them! I would choose them over chips as they have a longer crunch, and I feel they are lighter and more filling than usual chips. I would chose them over popcorn as there is a nice crunchyness which is not present in popcorn, as well as not having the annoying kernels.

    The only criticism is that I think I would like them better if they were in a bag like a normal chip, this way I would buy them for parties, or even to serve with dip, but int he box they tend to look a little like a cracker, which they are not. All in all, they were very tasty, if a little dry!
