Trader Joe's calls these "crispy potato snacks" and that seems like a good call. They are more of a crisp than chip. And these crisps really are ghost and bat-shaped!

You'll notice that the main ingredient here is P O T A T O. Potato flour, potato starch, and um, more potato starch. Lots of potato to sink your fangs, er, teeth into! (Sorry.)

Trader Joe's Ghosts & Bats Crispy Potato Snacks Review


He says (Mark): The crunch, my gosh, the crunch. (Pardon my riff on an Elaine quote from Seinfeld.) Fun shapes for the upcoming Halloween season, but the flavor is a bit lacking. A little more salt or seasoning could remedy this. Without an accompanying zesty dip, the flavor seems to have ghosted this TJ snack. In fact, it drives me batty ;-)

Overall rating: 3 out of 5 stars


She says (Bridget): I love these. Perfectly crisp with a "neutral" taste - Trader Joe's Ghosts & Bats are just the ticket if you want a little crunch alongside your sandwich, crumbled over a salad, or as an afternoon snack. Because the flavor is strictly potato and salt, these go with any flavor dip you can imagine - savory or sweet. I was impressed that almost every crisp in the bag was intact! Also, they're cute! Super cute! Pack these in your kiddo's lunchbox and he/she will have cafeteria bragging rights! Serve them at a Halloween party, and you'll be the ghostess with the mostest

Overall rating: 5 out of 5 stars


Will we buy these again? One of us will and the other won't eat them. Ha.
