Step by Step
Let's Make Magic
1
Crush the Chips
Lightly crush Traditional Mitten Chips — you want chunky pieces, not dust. The varied texture is what makes this topping special.
Squeeze the bag gently rather than using a rolling pin
2
Ladle & Top
Serve your chili in bowls and generously pile the crushed chips on top. Add shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced onion.
Add chips right before serving so they stay crunchy
3
Enjoy the Crunch
Eat immediately while the chips are crispy against the hot chili. Keep extra crushed chips nearby for refills.
Works equally well on soup, stew, or even mac & cheese
