Apple Chips vs. Dark Cocoa Coconut Crisps: A Sweet Snack Buying Guide

Two Very Different Crunches

RIND Snacks offers two sweet, crunchy options: Apple Chips and Dark Cocoa Sea Salt Coconut Crisps. Both are snackable straight from the bag, but they differ in ingredients, flavor profile, and how you might use them. This guide breaks down the trade-offs so you can choose the one that fits your cravings and routines.

Apple Chips are made from just one ingredient—100% sweet Fuji and/or Honeyscrisp apples—with no added sugar, sulfites, or preservatives. They deliver a pure, tart-sweet apple flavor and a thin, crispy bite. Dark Cocoa Sea Salt Coconut Crisps combine dried coconut, coconut sugar, dark cocoa powder, and sea salt for a salty-sweet, indulgent treat with 7g of fiber per serving.

Flavor and Texture: Pure Apple vs. Chocolate-Coconut Indulgence

If you want a clean, fruit-forward snack, Apple Chips deliver the natural sweetness of apples with a light crunch. They're thin-cut and crispy, ideal when you want something simple and not too rich.

Dark Cocoa Sea Salt Coconut Crisps offer a more decadent experience: the earthy bitterness of dark cocoa, the sweetness of coconut sugar, and a savory finish from sea salt. The coconut crisps themselves are crunchy and satisfying, and they're described as amazing straight from the bag or dynamite out of the freezer—a unique texture twist.

Choose Dark Cocoa Sea Salt Coconut Crisps if you crave a chocolatey, salty-sweet treat with more fiber (7g per serving) and healthy fats, or if you follow a keto-friendly lifestyle. They're less suited for those avoiding added sugar, since coconut sugar is an ingredient.
