That never occurred to me and seems just swell. Instead of a bag with ingredients that a chemistry degree is required to understand, you could use your own favorite chip, quality spices, fresh herbs, etc. Has anyone done this and have any good ideas? Also with the holiday season closing in fast, any ideas for great flavored nuts, pretzels or popcorn?
