If your taste buds crave the combination of salty and sweet, then this chip is for you.

Lay's has announced it will sell Lay's Wavy Potato Chips Dipped in Milk Chocolate, a sweet new offering from the salty snack giant whose name says it all.

The chips will only be sold in certain stores, however, and only for a limited time, from next week through the end of the holiday season, a Frito-Lay's spokeswoman confirmed to ABCNews.com today.

"During the holiday season, consumers look for flavorful,indulgent snack options – especially when it comes to savory and sweet,"Jennifer Saenz, Frito-Lay's senior director of marketing said in a statement provided to ABCNews.com. “With Lay’s Wavy Original Potato Chips Dipped in Milk Chocolate, we’ve combined the best of both tastes into one delicious snack."

The $3.49, 5-ounce bags of chips will be sold only at Target stores. The company says it will consider making the chips a permanent offering if the limited rollout is a success.

The chocolate-dipped potato chips are the latest attempt by Lay's to broaden its brand's flavors. Earlier this year the company launched the "Do Us a Flavor" contest, an online competition that asked consumers to submit their own flavors and then vote on their favorite.

The winning flavor, Cheese Garlic Bread, was created by Karen Weber-Mendham, a mom of three from Land O' Lakes, Wis.

Weber-Mendham's Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread chips will remain on store shelves nationwide through the rest of the year. If one percent of her flavor's 2013 net sales surpass the $1 million mark, Weber-Mendham, a part-time librarian, will take home that larger total as her grand prize.

I love strange chip flavors.

Sounds good to me! I love chocolate and salty things! My favorite snack is homemade fudge eaten along with a bowl of salty popcorn. YUM!

I can't wait to try these chips! Great idea!

I'm not a fan of Lays chips but they might be good. I love chocolate covered pretzels so I'm willing to give them a try.

chocolate chip cookies just took on a whole new meaning!

I suggest going to Target and hoarding a few bags. If Frito-Lay decides to discontinue the product they will sell like hotcakes on Ebay.

No thanks. i dont like things that are salty and sweety together. I don't like chocolate covered pretzels, I don't like salty M&M's and chocolate potato chips don't sound good.

80sTrivia · 11-03-2013, 07:51 AM

Hmmmm... I might have to sample a few to see how they taste!

HuntingtonM15 · 11-03-2013, 11:56 AM

I'm not usually one for bizarre chips, but I totally want to try this.
