Ruffles Releases New Buffalo Wings Chips Flavor – And They Sound Like Our New Go-To Snack
In many ways, Ruffles make for the perfect snack to enjoy for when you're lazing around your living room, sitting poolside on vacation or while seated onboard a plane on the way to your next summer vacation destination.
No matter how you choose to enjoy them, Ruffles is officially giving fans further reason to celebrate with the debut of an entirely new flavor in its extensive potato chip lineup.
According to Allrecipes, Ruffles is set to roll out their new Buffalo Wings Chip flavor, providing the ultimately summertime snack for all those interested in a spicy potato chip to enjoy this coming season.
For those who might be a bit concerned about the heat level present in the new potato chips, fret not! The Buffalo Wings flavor instead focuses on the distinct flavor profile commonly featured in the popular appetizer option, prioritizing its vibrant and tangy taste over dehabilitating heat.
A great option for backyard barbecues and beach snacking alike, the new chips are also perfectly timed for the coming festivities scattered throughout the summer, including (most obviously) the imminent arrival of the Fourth of July.
As Allrecipes helpfully pointed out, this is hardly the first time Ruffles tried to heat things up with a chip flavor based on buffalo wings. A few years back, the iconic chip brand famously rolled out their Ruffles Double Crunch Hot Wings, combining upfront heat with Ruffles' extra crunchy potato chips.
In spite of the item's unwavering popularity among fans, the chip flavor was eventually discontinued in 2020, making the new Hot Wings' debut that much more meaningful among longtime fans of the brand.
As of yet, it's not clear how long exactly the Ruffles Hot Wings will be around. But if past releases are any indication, fans should think about grabbing the new chips sooner rather than later just to be safe!
