Re-Review: Limited Edition Wavy Lay’s Potato Chips Dipped In Milk Chocolate & Quick Question: Favorite Kind of Thanksgiving Stuffing?
Junk Food Nation, due to a behind-the-scenes snafu, I botched the review I was going to put up today (basically, I deleted something by accident). Yes, it happens. Doesn’t mean I didn’t want to throw my computer out the window.
Anyways, I wanted to put SOMETHING up today, but first, quick question: What is your favorite kind of Thanksgiving stuffing? Following up on my question about good holiday potluck recipes, I want to know about your stuffing preferences. Oyster stuffing? Stuffing with sausage? With apple? Good Ole Stove Top? Or are you one of those people who just shoves a whole onion up into the bird? TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS – I love stuffing and I plan on eating a love of it this holiday season. And I want to eat every suggestion you come up with.
As I was saying, I wanted to post something up today, so I figured let me point you guys to a review I did last year. So today’s junk food redux: Limited Edition Wavy Lay’s Potato Chips Dipped In Milk Chocolate!
Limited Edition Wavy Lay’s Potato Chips Dipped In Milk Chocolate: The Redux Money Shot
These Limited Edition Wavy Lay’s Potato Chips Dipped In Milk Chocolate are BACK in stores now. My review of them last year:
“Limited Edition Wavy Lay’s Potato Chips Dipped In Milk Chocolate were both really REALLY tasty and yet unsurprising. I mean, it’s a chip dipped in chocolate. When I first chewed it, I tasted the wonderfully sweet milk chocolate and it immediately mixed with the shards of salt that popped and gave a sweet/salty savoriness with each crunch of my teeth. The flavor of the potato chip came through as I chewed, holding up nicely despite the sweetness of the chocolate and giving me a nice starchy flavor.”
See the rest of my comments and review here.
The re-released bags of these chips have different packaging and a Dark Chocolate brother (see a pic over on The Impulsive Buy here). We also recently discussed these on the Nosh Show.
So yeah – I’ll be back with a real review tomorrow. Meanwhile, what do you think of these? Have you had them yet? Tell me in the comments below.

Sincerely,

Cheers ‘coz I’m having that kind of day too. Stuffing…never had one I truly liked. Just give me extra sweet potatoes. But then again, everyone knows about my weird food preferences.
@Jessica: I love sweet potatoes. We can stuff ourselves together next Thursday
Every year I do an apple, onion and celery stuffing with whatever kind of bread. The best part is putting into a muffin pan and baking it….then everybody gets a good crispy top! Email notification is back!….thanks!
@Sarah: Is there anything onion and celery can’t do?
I have a non-ironic love of Stovetop brand stuffing, and a nostalgic rosy-eyed memory of the stuffing that came in Hungry-Man dinners.
I have attempted to make my own stuffing (decent); I have attempted to make my own bread in order to make my own stuffing (horrible waste of time); and my solution is as follows: I use Pepperidge Farm stuffing and doctor the hell out of it with celery and onions, apples, cranberries, and thyme, rosemary, and pepper flake.
@Shorneys: HMMMM I like your solution. Pepperidge Farm stuffing, huh? I’ll have to try that.
Yup. Pepperidge Farm. Stovetop-brand is a little too powdery and dusty – at least the PF cubes are a little larger, so don’t congeal so much when they’re cooked.
@Shorneys: Had some Stove Top last night because of impulse craving. It was ok….was satisfied after four-five bites.
Upon consideration (and a trip to the store), it appears that there are two types of PF stuffing. Bag o’ regular is a plastic bag filled with saw-dust. But cubes are, well, goddamn CUBES.
That said, my wife wanted Arnold cornbread stuffing, which is (a) even bigger and more defined cubes, and (b) cornbread. I guess what we’re looking for is actual definition of the stuffing as having been made from bread, and not powder.
@Shorneys: LOL. Sawdust. Saw the Arnold Stuffing the other day….yes, super cubes.
I make a cranberry, apple, and sausage stuffing that my family really likes. I don’t care for stuffing but they love it!
@Kelly – well, then, it’s really nice that you make it! haha. Recipe?
homemade stuffing with apples is the way to go! i’ve heard about cornbread stuffing and it sounds delicious but i’ve never had the chance to try it!
@Kaitlyn: Maybe cornbread stuffing WITH apples?

“Good Ole Stove Top?” Cut off your tongue!
I like a simple stuffing of bread, chicken broth, celery, onion, herbs & mushrooms.
@MP: HAHA I’m contemplating going to get some after work tonight!
I’m sure I’d love the dark chocolate lays, but I can’t bring myself to spend $4 for a few chips.
I’ll take just about any stuffing and fill half my plate with it, but love sausage stuffing. We started hosting Thanksgiving last year and I made the sausage stuffing from America’s Test Kitchen that you cook under the rack the bird sits on so the drippings go right into the stuffing…it was great. Will be doing the same thing this year. Also make a bunch of Stove Top for the non-sausage fans. I’ll make them all the Stove Top they can eat if it means more of the sausage stuffing for me.
@Dana – yeah the chocolate Lays are PRICEY.
I need to get sausage stuffing into my life, STAT
My favorite stuffing is my dad’s recipe. The best was when it was stuffed inside the chicken but then salmonella fears kicked in, so it’s now baked outside the bird. (No turkey please.) A very simple basic recipe of bread crumbs, celery, spices, and an egg. I know there’s a little more to it than that but I don’t know where the recipe is right now.
@Sarah: If you ever find the recipe, let me know! I like the simplicity of that ingredient list.
We make stuffing out of frozen White Castle burgers!!! Just cook up some celery and onion as you would, rip up the microwaved white castles, add poultry seasoning and chicken broth, and make like stuffing 🙂
@Emily: WHA WHA WHA??????????????????????????? THAT’S GENIUS
I love Cornbread Dressing – not stuffing, ’cause it’s not stuffed into anything! I make The Pioneer Woman’s cornbread, then make the dressing from that. http://jeniskitchen.blogspot.com/2010/11/cornbread-dressing.html
@Jeni: Love the re-purposing of the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for your own!
My grandmother makes truly excellent dressing with both cornbread and…bread bread. I have the privilege of being the person who taste-tests for sage, so it’s always perfectly seasoned to my palate. I kind of hate Thanksgiving as an institution, but I’m very lucky on the dressing/stuffing front.
@Radium: cornbread and sage is a beautiful marriage.
smh.. typical.. sag and corn bread.. i dont get it. never liked thansgving for the food but to give thanxz.. we didnt have much.. mac cheese boston market is what saved us.. thats it.. gotta have the gravy and i didnt overeat.. suks for you guys

@Alan R: Boston Market mac and cheese is legit
This year I used (from a local grocery store) 2 bags of SOFT potato bread cubes. used chopped onions and celery sauteed in a stick of butter, added salt, pepper, and thyme to the bread cubes, then added in the sauteed veggies. Mixed it up, and added at least a cup and a half of warm chicken broth. Then baked in a large Corningware roasting pan (Covered at first, then uncovered). I actually left it in the oven a little too long, and it turned out wonderful–all crispy on the bottom.
@Kitty: POTATO BREAD CUBES???? Didn’t realize those existed!
