When entertaining, however, I absolutely love to present the crisps nicely on a platter with some of my favorite dips.  Getting rid of the bag goes along way, especially when you are in a rush, and need to put together a quick platter.

The Crisp’s zig-zagged shape looks awesome on a platter , and you’d be surprised how great the Crisps look/taste accompanied with dip. Some of my favorite dips are:

Sour cream dip

Hummus

Guacamole

Salsa

Sliced Cheeses and soft cheeses such as goat cheese and cream cheese

Marinara sauce (accompanied with the Four Cheese Crisps, it tastes like pizza!)

For the FLATOUT health-conscious: low fat hummus, salsa, Laughing Cow cheese, and pico de gallo taste great with the Sea Salt Crisps.

How do you dip your Crisps???? Let us know. We are FLATOUT curious!

Every day, I receive emails asking how you guys can get Crisps in grocery stores near your homes. While we are working as quickly as we can to fill up your local retailers with the Edgeon Crisps, the absolute best way to expedite the process is to ask grocery store managers yourself! Store managers love hearing feedback from their shoppers, because they want to provide shoppers with the delicious food they want! Keep up the good work- ask your grocery store mangers! We’ll keep you posted as we get them in more and more grocery stores.

To celebrate, the folks at Flatout want to help you discover these delicious Baked Flatbread Crisps, and hear what you have to say about them! We’re listening! We want toknow how you like to eat your crisps, what you like to eat them with, where you buy them, where you would like to buy them, and more! It’s not just about us spreading awareness… Make us aware of your thoughts!

Throughout the month, we will devote Flatout News to Crisps Awareness.  We’ll offer fun facts, FLATOUT tasty ideas, and opportunities to win FREE Crisps.

Flatout Edgeon Crisps are available in four flavors:
