The last time I was in Boulder, I spent most of the time in the hospital with a broken elbow. I fell off of a horse because the saddle was not properly tightened. The main thing that kept me happy in all my pain was Glacier Ice Cream. You didn't think I was going to say the potato chips, did you? That ice cream was some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Please, Glacier, open one in St. Louis! Oh, right, I'm not a fan of chains. I forgot for a second there.
I discovered Boulder Canyon potato chips not in Boulder but in an incredible locally owned general store in St. Louis (hopefully I redeemed my support for local business with that comment). I wanted to pick up some chips to try as part of AOL's upcoming flavored chip taste test and Boulder Canyon Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper Chips met two basic criteria:
- They were all natural. I would normally buy organic chips, but the shop didn't have any organic ones.
- Sea salt and cracked pepper is a flavor that my husband loves. This is particularly important since I don't eat many chips. If he didn't like them, the chips would live to be old and soggy.
How did my husband and I like the chips? At first, I thought they were too spicy (I might still think they are too spicy), but I can't stop eating them. More importantly, my husband loved them! The bag is almost empty. Danger: do not keep an open bag of these anywhere near where you will be working or watching TV.
