We love chips. Of course: plain is an all-time favorite, but spicy times sometimes call for spicy flavors. And when it comes to chips, it can be spicier than you ever thought possible. These are the absolute hotties in the chip world. Do you dare? Tip: have the milk ready and just taste.

Hot Chip Challenge
To get straight to the point: this is the undisputed number 1 if you love spicy chips. In the box with the aptly named ‘Hot Chip Challenge’ is one of the hottest chips in the world. The chip is completely dark due to the Carolina Reaper (the hottest chili pepper in the world!) and the Scorpion pepper powder. The result: a bizarrely hot chip and really only suitable for people who can handle very spicy food. And... you have to put the chip in your mouth with a provided glove. This mouth burner is not cheap: 1 Hot Chip Challenge chip costs no less than €8.50. Go for it!

Herr’s Carolina Reaper Cheese Curls
These chips are once again made from the blazing hot Carolina Reaper with over 1,500,000 on the Scoville scale, which is incredibly hot. For comparison: a jalapeño pepper is 2,500 to 30,000 on this scale. With these Herr’s, you will definitely take on the flavor challenge by combining the heat of the pepper with the savory cheese curl. Get the milk ready. The Herr’s Carolina Reaper Cheese Curls cost €3.95.
