Proper Chips Unveils Sweet Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

— December 17, 2025 — Lifestyle
New Zealand-based potato chip company Proper Crisps is elevating the snack aisle with its limited-edition Cinnamon Tortilla Chips, a sweet twist on the brand’s classic savoury offerings. Inspired by Mexican buñuelos and crafted with Kiwi crisp expertise, the chips combine a light, crunchy corn tortilla with the perfect balance of cinnamon sugar and warming spice.

Perfect for snacking straight from the bag or dressed up as dessert nachos, the launch also features a special collaboration with Chef Carlos Rodriguez of Xolo Taqueria in Christchurch, who is serving a limited-time version topped with spiced syrup and berry compote from October 18–31. The Cinnamon Tortilla Chips retail for $5.59 and are available in supermarkets nationwide for a limited run starting mid-October.
