The Co-Op has released a bag of Halloumi fries crisps, and they are the snack of our dreams. The new potato tube-shaped crisps will taste like Halloumi cheese, with a hint of chilli.
The vegetarian friendly crisps will set back shoppers just £1 for a 100g bag , but they're limited edition so you may want to stock up.
Pretty52 reported that the Co-Op wanted to jump on the Halloumi trend, and thought that the crisps would be the best way to do so.
If that wasn't enough, Co-op has also released coconut and chargrilled pineapple tortilla chips, and aromatic crispy duck and hoisin crisps, both priced at £1.70.
They’ve also launched lamb kofta and Halloumi flatbread crisps, again at £1.50 for a 150g bag.
Ursula Artjoki, Co-op crisps, snacks and nuts developer, said: "We’ve seen Halloumi fries pop-up on many a restaurant menu over the past year.
"So, we wanted to put our Co-op spin on this trend and give our customers the chance to enjoy the popular flavour conveniently in a crisp offering. ‘Co-op Halloumi Fries are a really moreish crowd-pleaser that won’t last long once the bag gets opened."
“Over the years, Co-op has become the go-to destination for our crisps. Celebrities have declared their love for our Sea Salt & Chardonnay Wine Vinegar Crisps, while our Gourmet Burger Crisps, which are back by popular demand in 2019, caused a social media storm for all the right reason last summer. Our four new flavours are set to be just as tasty and are sure to join Co-op’s crisp hall of fame.”

The Co-Op isn't the only retailer to stock Halloumi fries themed snacks, as Aldi have gone the whole way and launched their very own Halloumi Fries.
They'll set you back £2.29, and were first launched last May but due to sold out shelves pretty much everywhere they've relaunched them now. You can find them in the frozen aisle.
According to the Metro , Aldi says "Inspired by a similar offering from popular Portuguese chicken eatery, Nando’s; Aldi’s Specially Selected Haloumi Fries are made with scrumptiously soft – and salty – halloumi cheese from Cyprus and a lightly seasoned crispy coating making them the perfect side or snack for sharing. ‘So, get the sauce ready, start dipping and say hallou to halloumi heaven!"
