Off the Hook Chips

IT Guy and I went to a wedding in Kentucky a few weeks ago for the son of some good friends. While we were out to eat with our friends at a particular restaurant, my friend told me I HAD to try their chips. She said they were SO good. I agreed but thought...meh, just chips. Until I tasted one. Oh my! These were little bites of cheesy heaven. So simple and delicious. I knew I wanted to make them when I got home and I didn't waste any time. I served them to IT Guy after dinner and when he ate one and proclaimed how good it was, he then said he would have been delighted to have them AS his dinner. If only I'd known!!
