Cheese and onion chips are a ubiquitous snack choice but one brand has ingeniously elevated this classic flavor combination, crafting a sophisticated variant specifically designed to [complement alcoholic beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-kitchen-and-craft-gin-club), offering a refined and indulgent snacking experience. Made for Drink reinvented this time-tested flavor with Baron Bigod [Cheese & Onion Potato Crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-chips-1), which were created in partnership with [English Heritage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-for-drink-baron-bigod-cheese-onion) to "[celebrate] England’s finest cheese wisdom."

This elevated snack is savory, gourmet, creamy and indulgent, and as such, it's said to pair well with Baron Bigod cheese and Aspall Cyder because fruity and acidic notes in cider help to cut through the richness of the cheese, making for a well-rounded flavor pairing.

Elevated snack foods appeal to consumers with enticing, high-quality ingredients, unique flavor profiles and gourmet touches, providing snacking experiences that transcend the ordinary.
