As part of its offerings for the holiday season, Pringles released a [white and milk chocolate chip flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-white). While there have been some chocolate-covered potato chips popping up on the market recently, these chips are actually flavored to taste like a bar of chocolate. The White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Pringles are dusted with a light seasoning, which is sweeter than the salty or savory flavors that you usually find coating a potato chip.

Another new and unusual item in [Pringles' holiday lineup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-chips) is the [Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proper-chips-1), a product which is just as unconventional as these two chocolate crisps. Although these might not be the traditional flavors of the fall and winter season, they definitely are pretty intriguing, especially for those with a serious sweet tooth.
