Frito-Lay's SunChips brand and cupcake purveyor Baked by Melissa revealed they are partnering on a summer food collaboration in the form of an LTO bite-sized cupcake collection. 

The first-ever chip collaboration from Baked by Melissa includes flavors inspired by SunChips’ newest flavor, Honey BBQ, along with two classic SunChips flavors, Harvest Cheddar and Garden Salsa. 

The flavors include:

• Honey BBQ: A sweet and savory combination inspired by the taste of the new SunChips Honey BBQ flavor, the cupcake features BBQ sauce-infused stuffing topped with honey-vanilla icing and brown sugar streusel.
• Harvest Cheddar: A twist on the SunChips Harvest Cheddar flavor that inspired it, this cupcake is stuffed with vanilla-cheese filling and topped with cheese-dusted icing and white chocolate brittle.
• Garden Salsa: Includes a blend of tomato and cheddar cheese flavors, complimented by a hint of vanilla-cake sweetness. 

"SunChips is a beloved summertime snack and a go-to for any get-together. This partnership with Baked by Melissa helps our fans experience cupcakes inspired by their favorite SunChips flavors in a new way, to bring more fun to summertime gatherings," says Rhasheda Boyd, VP of marketing, PepsiCo Foods.

Melissa Ben-Ishay, co-founder and CEO of Baked by Melissa, adds: "Growing up, SunChips were always one of my favorite snacks—the iconic wave shape and the classic Harvest Cheddar and Garden Salsa flavors were staples for so many of us who grew up in the ’90s. When I’m creating cupcake flavors for Baked by Melissa, I always draw inspiration from nostalgic desserts and childhood memories, so partnering with SunChips was a natural fit. It was so much fun to bring those flavors to life in cupcake form—along with the new Honey BBQ flavor."   

The limited-edition cupcake pack is available in 12- and 25-count on BakedByMelissa.com or at one of Baked By Melissa’s bakeries in NYC.
