I want to thank you guys for your support in my dramatic heartfelt post yesterday. Squishy hugs for all of you. 
In honor of the big game approaching in a few weeks, I’ve planned this product review + GIVEAWAY to coincide perfectly. 
About 2 months ago (woops!) I got a GLORIOUS bundle from the precious Katherine @ Buffalo Nickel Wingers.
She told me, and I read on their website, that Buffalo Wingers are an all natural, potato snack that is a chip substitute of sorts.
She sent three flavors for me to try, which is great because, I am a recovering CHIP-o-HOLIC. I can go to town on potato chips, (and I have) but when I started counting calories, my regular trek to the vending machine was eliminated, as were my crunchy chips.
Buffalo Wingers are shaped like little chicken wings (legs? ) and come in a variety of flavors along the “heat index”. Here are my thoughts on the ones I tried.
First, I cracked open the No Bull Barbecue (heat level 1). Have you ever tried barbecue potato chips? They make me think of summertime, and I love them. These knocked those out of the park. Their shape made them VERY crunchy, they’re totally NON greasy (unlike their potato chip counter parts) and their flavor, totally awesome. Sweet and smoky, just how I like it.
Next was the Nacho Chilichanga (heat level 3), which, honest-to-goodness tasted like a cross between chili-cheese corn chips and nacho cheeze corn chips, but with all the crunch of potato. These were my favorite!! Doritos can bite me! These, were really good, a nice amount of flavor per piece, and of course, much less guilt.
Last (yes, I tried them in heat order because I was scared) was the Fiery Buffalo Bleu (heat level 5). These were my least favorite, but they still satisfied a snacky craving. The reason they weren’t my favorite was because there wasn’t as MUCH flavor as in the other, less spicy ones, probably so they wouldn’t over power, but I like my chips well doused in powdery-flavored goodness. So, good, but not my top pick.
Overall, I give these bad boys a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
If you’re mindful of calories, and are looking for chips that don’t pack such a caloric wallop, these could be your answer…
Don’t get me wrong. They aren’t “health food”, and they aren’t a staple in my diet. But I like chips, (I’m mourning the end of my chili chimichanga ones, and I CANNOT FIND THEM ANYWHERE!!!) But I definitely prefer to eat something that is natural to crap.
Maybe that’s just me.

I’m with you Kelsey. I love chips. They are hard to pass up, and since I’ve started a new eating plan I’ve really missed crunch. My favorite chip flavor is sweet potato because it has all the good stuff – sweet, salt, crunch. Blessings!

Attempt #2….I posted a tweet about this because A) you said to B) I’m a habitual snacker and try to avoid chips because of all the reasons you mentioned and C) I really want to try them My favorite chip flavor is fortunately Salt and Vinegar. I say fortunately because no one can eat more than a handful without requiring medical attention. Cheers!

My favorite flavor of chip is probably lime. I used to LOVE flamin’ hot style chips, but I can’t have those anymore (ahhh). Thanks for the chance to win, these look really interesting!

I don’t know how many people like these or have even tried them, but my favorite chips are the pickle-flavored ones. I’ve loved them since childhood. I also love salt and vinegar chips, which are quickly becoming much more conventional than they used to be, i.e. much easier to find.
