You can find other, fancier varieties, made with sea salt and specialty peppercorns, but Utz wowed our tasters with "simple fresh pepper flavor" and an even distribution of flecks. Panelists praised the delicate texture, too; the chips "shatter when they hit your tongue." ($3 for an 11-ounce bag, uztsnacks.com, 888-744-7889).
