Miss Vickie’s makes some of the best kettle-cooked chips out there—crunchy, flavorful, and usually an easy go-to snack. But not every flavor is a winner for every palate, and Honey Dijon is a good example of how a bold idea doesn’t always translate perfectly to a chip.
You can grab some on Amazon if you’re interested.
If you’re curious about trying something different from the usual salt-and-vinegar or barbecue, this flavor might catch your eye. Here’s what to expect before you crack open the bag.
Overview / First Impressions
Miss Vickie’s Honey Dijon chips are exactly what the name promises: they taste like straight-up honey Dijon mustard on a kettle-cooked chip.
If you’re imagining a “chip-ified” version of the flavor—something toned down, sweeter, or more balanced—you might be surprised. The profile leans heavily into authentic honey mustard, and that can be a bit jarring in chip form.
For me, this ended up being my least favorite Miss Vickie’s flavor so far.
Flavor Profile
The defining characteristic here is how literal the flavor is:
- Strong Dijon mustard tang – Sharp, slightly pungent, and very forward.
- Noticeable honey sweetness – Adds a sweet layer, but doesn’t fully smooth out the edge of the mustard.
- Minimal “chip-style” tweaking – It doesn’t feel like the flavor was adapted to work better as a snack; it just tastes like honey Dijon on a crunchy base.
The result is a flavor that feels a bit strange for a potato chip. If you love dipping things in honey mustard, you might appreciate that accuracy. If you were hoping for a more subtle or snack-friendly twist, this may not hit the mark.
Texture & Quality
Like other Miss Vickie’s varieties, the texture is excellent:
- Thick, kettle-cooked crunch
- Well-cooked chips with a hearty bite
- Even seasoning coverage
From a build and texture standpoint, these are as solid as you’d expect from the brand. The only polarizing part is the flavor.
Who Might Like This Flavor
You might enjoy Miss Vickie’s Honey Dijon if:
- You’re a big fan of honey mustard on sandwiches, pretzels, or chicken.
- You like bold, unconventional chip flavors.
- You want something different from the usual savory or spicy options.
It’s a very specific taste, so it’s more of a “love it or leave it” kind of flavor than a crowd-pleaser.
Limitations / Things to Know
A few things to keep in mind:
- The flavor is intense. There’s not much subtlety—if you don’t like Dijon mustard, you won’t like these.
- It can feel odd as a chip flavor. The sweetness plus sharp mustard tang doesn’t blend as naturally with potato as, say, salt and vinegar or barbecue.
- Not a safe party pick. This is probably not the best choice if you’re buying one bag to please a group.
Personally, I wouldn’t buy this flavor again. It’s just not an enjoyable combination for me, even though I generally like Miss Vickie’s.
Final Thoughts
Miss Vickie’s Honey Dijon is a bold, accurate take on honey mustard in chip form—but that accuracy is exactly what makes it divisive. The texture and quality are great, as always, but the flavor feels a bit too literal and ends up tasting strange on a potato chip.
If you’re curious and you love honey Dijon, it might be worth trying at least once. For my taste, though, it’s a rare miss from an otherwise excellent chip lineup.
