To enjoy, simply grab a scoop chip and fill it with your desired topping.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover chips in their original bag, ensuring it is tightly sealed. Keep the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage will prevent them from becoming stale or soft.
