Spicy kettle-cooked potato chips are available in five varieties
Amplify Snack Brands, an Austin-based company that brought you SkinnyPop Popcorn, Pirate's Booty Puffs, and Paqui Tortilla Chips, launched Krakatoa Hot Chips, a new line of spicy kettle-cooked potato chips. Made by spice lovers for spice lovers, Krakatoa Hot Chips are spicy chips made with real peppers sourced from all over the globe.
Named after Mount Krakatoa, an active volcano infamous for volatility, Krakatoa Hot Chips’ spice intensity goes beyond the generic “mild, medium, and hot” measurements of heat. Instead, each flavor’s level of spiciness is measured in quantifiable Scoville Heat Units (SHU), ranging from 5,840 to 38,700 heat units per chip.
