PLANO, Texas — Giving snack lovers nationwide a sweet-meets-savory treat just in time for the holidays, Stacy's Pita Chips introduces a brand-new flavor to its popular lineup of snacks: Stacy's Salted Caramel Pita Chips. Real salted caramel flavor is baked right into the pita bread, which is then sliced and baked again to achieve the perfect crunch fans expect from the brand. Stacy's Salted Caramel Pita Chips are the perfect complement to festive holiday dips and spreads, as well as party drinks like dessert coffees and sparkling champagne.
Stacy's Salted Caramel Pita Chips are made with a time-honored approach, which includes using carefully selected, high-quality ingredients, such as real sea salt, brown sugar, molasses and organic cane sugar. They also contain no MSG, no artificial colors and no artificial flavors. Each batch of Stacy's pita chips takes up to 14 hours to bake, giving pita chip lovers both a flavorful and carefully crafted eating experience each time they bite into the chips. It's the harder way, but it's the better way. That's "The Stacy's Way."
"With the holiday season approaching, the Stacy's team wanted to create the perfect chip for any holiday party or gathering. We took salted caramel, a classic holiday treat, and baked the flavor into our delicious, crunchy pita chips," said Nicole Cavin, senior director of marketing for Stacy's. "These chips are extremely versatile and pair well with the savory and sweet dips and beverages we know our fans serve with their holiday spreads."
To help introduce its Salted Caramel flavored pita chips, the Stacy's team partnered with several notable bloggers to create mouth-watering desserts and family friendly dips using the new chips. Throughout November and December, the Stacy's team will post the unique recipes from its blogger partners on the brand's Facebook and Pinterest pages.
Stacy's Salted Caramel Pita Chips are available during the holiday season, from November 2014 – December 2014, in 7.33-ounce bags for a suggested retail price of $3.99. For more information, visit www.stacyssnacks.com, www.pinterest.com/stacyssnacks/ or www.facebook.com/stacyspitachips.
