It was labeled &#8220;Royce Potato Chip Chocolate&#8221;, which mystified me.  It looked like it was chocolate.  But it said something in there about potato chips.  I had a hard time consolidating those two concepts.  I was almost convinced that they were chocolates in the shape of potato chips, except the picture on the cover was pretty clear that the contents were chocolate covered potato chips.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFinally, the other day, I wanted a snack, my wife wasn&#8217;t around, and I noticed the things were two months past their consume-by date.  So at worst, I could just say that I threw them out (and I might possibly have to spend some time with food poisoning &#8211; but when chocolate is involved, that isn&#8217;t really a convincing threat.)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSurprisingly, they were great.  The potato chips do have salt on them.  And chocolate.  The chips are a salty, chocolately snack that is a bit strange, but very good.  They are filling, and it took three days to finish off the bag, but they are gone now.  We received them from a friend, and now when I want to find out where I can get some more, it turns out that <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Royce'\">Royce is a chocolate company from Hokkaidou<\/a>.  Hokkaidou is a bit far (by Japanese standards) and they might not have a shop in Tokyo.  But I bet I can find them again if I try.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTurns out these things have been around for a while; see also <a href=\"http:\/\/dessertcomesfirst.com\/archives\/261\">this blog post on dessert comes first<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royce Chocolate Potato Chips For the past few months, we&#8217;ve had a mysterious box in our refrigerator.
