Abstract

Multi-textured snack chips are made by first forming moist starch agglomerates, and then mixing the agglomerates with a dry starch material to make an agglomerate/starch composite containing agglomerates of moist starch and discrete regions of dry starch material. The agglomerate/starch composite is formed into chips and then baked and/or fried. The resulting snack chips have an initial crispness and a continued crunchiness.
