The Best (And Easiest) Munchies Fix

Submitted by 2Bleu

"Too simple, but too perfect. To my siblings and I (Bird), who would enjoy this almost every weekend while growing up (in NJ), it's known simply as "Potato Chips & Cream Cheese". I posted this as some of you may have never had the wonderful experience of these two items swirling joyfully in your mouth."

 

• Ready In: 1min
• Ingredients: 2
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 (11 ounce) bag potato chips (Ruffle's or Lay's)
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (Philadelphia Brand)

directions

1. Place chips in a large bowl. Place cream cheese (it does not need to be softened) on a serving plate with as many butter knives as there are people.
2. Take a chip in one hand, and to the other, slice off a thin (or thick) strip of cream cheese. Carefully spread the cheese over the chip and indulge! NOTE: If the chip breaks, fold it over the cheese and you now have made a chip sandwich! You can do this intentionally also. Enjoy.

Great snack! Now that whipped cream cheese is so popular you don't even need a knife. Just dip the chip into the tub! Cream cheese is also great with Ranch Wheat Thins. It's been my go-to snack for years. :)

Haha, my grandpa eats cream cheese on Buttery club crackers. Also delicious!

This is so good! I had never heard of a combination like this before, but loved it! The sturdy ruffle style chips go great with the mellow, smooth cream cheese and together they are the perfect munchy. YUM! I think next time Im going to try a herbed cream cheese instead of plain. Cant wait!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a real winner with us, 2Bleu!<br/>Made and reviewed for Photo Tag May 2011.

So easy and so delicious! I had never heard of this simple combination but it works so well! I liked this with Ruffles style chips but I imagine it would work really well with stronger flavoured chips also. Thanks for a super snack!

Try this with doritos!!!! I used to eat this when I didnt really care about my weight. Now I use lower fat cream cheese with baked doritos.
