I received 6 bags of Pillsbury Baguette Chips as shown below for the purpose of this review.  Three bags each of the Italian Cheese and Herb and the Cheddar Sun-Dried Tomato.

I can't pick a favorite of the two flavors.  They are both really good.   I love the ideas of these chips.  When I buy a mixed snack bag, this type of bread chip is my favorite from the bag.
The bags went quick!  Not hard to do when we have company a lot, mostly grandchildren.  My daughter took a bag--twice--to her friends house.  We served them one night with hot dogs for supper, otherwise we just snacked on them throughout the day.   I hadn't thought of adding them to a salad or crumbling them for a casserole topping, but what great ideas!

I've printed my coupon and look forward to buying more of the flavorful Pillsbury Baguette Chips!

One lucky blog reader will also win 6 bags of their own to enjoy.  Enter using the punchtab giveaway widget below.
