Krolik Flips

Update Review, December 2025

I reviewed Flips, a snack food from Poland, a few months ago, and really enjoyed the strawberry flavor snacks I had then.  I thought that is all the Flips I had stocked up on when I was there, but then I found more bags, in different flavor, in my pantry!  Woo hoo.  I was happy to try more.

Toffi (Toffee).

The toffee version was the same base product of corn grits base, large girth, light and airy.  They seemed softer / less crunchy than my memory of the other flavor, or at least, compared to other brands.  I was worried they might be too sweet, cloying, like most American toffee flavored items are, but really the sweetness level was kinda perfect.  Certainly sweet, and recognizable as toffee, but just in a pleasant way.  

A less unique flavor than the strawberry, but still enjoyable, and somehow, just like the strawberry bag, this multi serving bag turned into a one sitting occasion for me.  Oops.  I don't think I'd get this flavor again though, as the strawberry was just so much more fun.  High 3.5/5, borderline 4/5.

Czekolady (Chocolate).

Next up, the chocolate version.  Same form factor, and again, they struck me as fairly soft, particularly compared to other brands of similar products.

The chocolate flavor was fairly muted, but did have a bit of a cocoa taste on the finish.  My least favorite of the flavors I tried, as they were just too mild to really be the sort of addicting snack I was looking for.  Low 3/5.

Original Review, June 2025

As a lover of snacks, particularly ones I've never tried before, I always grab a few items from convenience or grocery stores when I travel.  This interest lead me to Krolik Flips, a line of snack foods in Poland.

"Indulge in a snacking experience like never before with Flips Corn Puffs. Bursting with flavor, light on the waistline, and made with love, these delightful puffs will surely become your new favorite snack companion. So, why wait? Grab a bag today and savor the sheer joy of crunching into Flips Corn Puffs! Your taste buds will thank you!" 

The form factor of Flips is large airy corn puffs, made with corn grits.  I was curious if they would indeed be very similar to other corn puff products on the market from countries like Japan or Korea, or just entirely different, which seemed quite possible, given the different cultures.

Flips seem to come in a few flavors, including caramel or chocolate.  I tried the strawberry version.

Truskawki (Strawberry).

I was pretty happy to see the contents of the bag.  They were a similar looking concept to other corn puff snacks I enjoy, although considerably, more girth.  This definitely isn't just a Polish style, as the peanut corn puffs I had from Lorenz were probably 1/3 the size of these.  They make the Japanese Tohato corn snacks look like they are made for ants in comparison!

These were a nice level of lightly crunch and airy at the same time.  Definitely a satisfying form to eat a snack in.  The flavor was sweet but not cloying, and lightly berry flavored.  I tasted a milky component, and maybe even white chocolate.  

These were very good, and really reminded me of of the special strawberry caramel corn that was part of a Sanrio and Tohato special edition (review of those coming soon!), just, mega sized.  I devoured the entire bag except those final 4 so I could snap a photo in one sitting, so, yeah, they were very addicting!  4/5.
