When it comes to snacks, potato chips sit comfortably at the top of the food chain. They're crunchy, salty, addictive—and now, with the rise of gourmet snacking, they’re getting a major upgrade. Enter: Kettle Studio Gourmet Chips, a brand that’s redefining what chips can taste like. With bold flavours, premium ingredients, and an unmistakably satisfying crunch, these chips aren’t just a snack—they’re a full-on experience.
But we weren’t content just tasting them straight from the pack. Oh no—we wanted to push the flavour boundaries.
We paired Kettle Studio’s gourmet potato chips with some of the weirdest, most unexpected ingredients we could find. The result? A rollercoaster of taste, from spicy-sweet thrills to creamy, crunchy surprises. Perfect for content creators, foodies, and anyone who wants to turn their snack time into a viral moment.
Let’s dive into 8 gourmet pairings that sound ridiculous—but taste ridiculously good.
1. Tabasco Chips + Chocolate Sauce
Why it works:
Heat meets sweet in a match that feels weirdly gourmet. The smoky punch of Tabasco in these chips creates an instant fiesta in your mouth. Add a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce—something like Hershey’s or a dark chocolate ganache—and suddenly, you’re in Mexican mole territory. The result? A spicy-sweet flavour profile that’s confusing at first but quickly becomes addictive. Crunchy. Bold. Unexpected.
2. Himalayan Pink Salt Chips + Nutella
Why it works:
This might be the most obvious “weird” combo that secretly works. Think salted chocolate truffles, but in chip form. Kettle Studio’s Himalayan Pink Salt Chips offer a subtle, clean saltiness that balances out the creamy richness of Nutella. Every bite feels like dessert that forgot it’s supposed to be a snack. Perfect for late-night cravings and Instagram reels.
3. Mature Cheddar & Red Onion Chips + Kissan Tomato Ketchup
Why it works:
Okay, this one’s nostalgic. Kettle Studio’s Mature Cheddar & Red Onion chips already have a strong, savoury backbone. Add a squirt of good ol’ Kissan ketchup, and boom—you’re transported to your school lunchbox days. It’s the flavour of a cheeseburger or grilled sandwich, condensed into one crunchy bite. Comfort food, leveled up.
4. Sharp Jalapeño & Cream Cheese Chips + Amul Cheese Spread (Tandoori or Red Pepper)
Why it works:
Double cheese alert! These chips are already spicy and creamy, but when you add a dollop of Amul’s flavoured cheese spreads, especially the Tandoori or Red Pepper variant, it goes nuclear—in the best way possible. The chip becomes a vessel for flavour bombs. It’s like biting into a jalapeño popper with Indian flair. Smoky, creamy, cheesy heaven.
5. Spicy Dill Pickle Chips + Greek Yogurt + Honey
Why it works:
Sounds like a spa day for your mouth. The Spicy Dill Pickle chips bring tang and heat, while Greek yogurt cools things down. Add a small drizzle of honey and you’ve got a complex, creamy-sweet-spicy combo that somehow works. Bonus? It’s healthier than most dips. Try this with Epigamia or Nestlé a+ Greek yogurt for maximum balance.
6. Sweet & Smoky BBQ Chips + Peanut Butter
Why it works:
We’ll admit—this one raised a few eyebrows in our test kitchen. But once you try it, there’s no going back. The Sweet & Smoky BBQ flavour paired with a dollop of peanut butter creates something oddly meaty and rich—almost like a Thai satay sauce. It’s sticky, crunchy, and deeply satisfying. Trust the process.
7. Sweet Chilli Lime & Basil Chips + Mango Pickle
Why it works:
This is a party in your mouth. The Thai-inspired tang of lime and chilli meets the intense Indian drama of mango pickle. The result? An explosion of achaari-masala-spice balanced by lime and herbaceous basil. If your tastebuds could dance, this would be their track.
8. Lime & Chilli Chips + Vanilla Ice Cream
Why it works:
Yes, we’ve saved the most chaotic for last. Lime & Chilli chips are tart and fiery—on their own, they already challenge the palate. But dip them in vanilla ice cream, and suddenly you’ve got a balance of cold vs. heat, sweet vs. zingy, creamy vs. crunchy. Think of it like spicy apple pie with ice cream. Try it once—and you might just go back for more.
Why These Weird Combos Work
Gourmet chips like Kettle Studio’s are designed for more than casual munching. Their robust flavours, superior crunch, and thick cut make them ideal candidates for flavour experiments. Unlike regular chips that get soggy or lost in dips, these hold their texture and taste.
By combining them with sweet, tangy, creamy, or spicy elements, you’re essentially layering taste sensations—what foodies call umami bombs. You get contrast, balance, and surprise, all in one bite.
Plus, let’s be honest—these are meme-worthy, reel-ready, and totally Insta-shareable. If you’re in the food content game, or just a curious snacker, this is your moment to go viral.
