Utz, a snack maker, has teamed up with Mike’s Hot Honey, a maker of pepper-infused spicy honey, to create the Utz Mike’s Hot Honey Potato Chip. The product covers Utz Original Potato Chips in the specialty maker's signature spicy honey.
“Our new Utz Mike’s Hot Honey Potato Chip perfectly combines our classic, Utz original potato chip with the fierce flavor of Mike’s Hot Honey,” said Utz Brands, Inc. CEO Howard Friedman, in a statement. "As a leader in the salty snack category, we are always looking for craveable new tastes, and the uniquely sweet and heat combination of our newest potato chip is irresistible for those who want bold new flavors when they reach for a snack.”
The chips are available at grocery, mass, and convenience retail stores across the country, including Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Utz’s website. They are available in two sizes: 2.625-ounce, and 7.76-ounce. Next month, select wholesale clubs will also carry a 13-ounce option.
“We couldn’t think of a better brand to help us create our first potato chip,” said Mike’s Hot Honey founder Mike Kurtz in a statement. “Not only is the chip the perfect pairing of Utz’s classic, salty crunch and our distinctive sweet with a kick of heat, but it’s the perfect pairing of two brands with rich histories in New York City, now made available nationwide thanks to popular demand. We’re excited about this partnership.”
