These are a great snack! I used a mexican cheese blend instead of just chedder and red bell peppers. They taste and smell great!

Sorry. My kids disliked these and I found them very strange tasting.

I love this ...my dehydrator is my new favorite "thang' and this is the first thing other that fruit i have used it for...the experimentation in flavoring the chips is what make this recipe a wonderful gift...the color of the pepper used gives the chips their unique appearance and playing with spices and add-ins like sesame poppy seeds, sea salt, cracked pepper ...i made different batches different ways to create "mixed chips" :) i do not have the "Fruit Roll Sheets" (yet... but want to try those) and have been using parchment paper which has work just fine...my favorite discovery in experimentation was to use cottage cheese instead of grated cheddar...i seemed to like that combo with red pepper, chipotle and B&W sesame seeds the best (plus they looked so cool)!.... but it was ALL GOOD!!! - Thanks Mercy
