Hmmm, so it will be sweet & salty?
1Mmmmm yummy
2no, no, no....that looks disgusting
3hmm I dunno about these...
4I'm more than a little skeptical.
5Hmmmm...I'm not so sure
6While I do like both chips and cookies I think this sounds gross. I'll stick to eating either one or the other, but not both.
7no thanks-does not look appetizing..when i crave both, i find that chocolate dipped pretzels satisfies..
8I sometimes crave both, but I crave salty stuff much more often. I don't have much of a sweettooth at all.
9I don't think these would be very good for you. I wouldn't make them for my kids.
10Both at the same time? Maybe. In the same food? Not so much.
11I've had chocolate-covered potato chips, and they were quite good. So, I'd give this a shot...
12In Hawaii we used to have a sort of cookie/candy snack that had mac nuts and crushed potato chips held together with chocolate. They were really good!
13That sounds awesome, sherelyn!
14I have made these for years - they are excellent. You don't really taste the chips - they just make the cookies crispy and salty.
