This is West African Fried Pastry chips. Hands down! My all-time favorite snack. And to tell you the truth, I can never have it around the house for too long. I can eat a bag full of it without ever realizing I have gone overboard. So whenever I make them. I quickly get them out of my house- sometimes.
So, this came as a shocker to me when I was introduced to savory chin chin.
What?
No way! Chin Chin made with no sugar? Who would enjoy that? I eat my words. It definitely has it’s own appeal. They are a lovely treat. There is no turning back for me now.

I now have a stash of these buried somewhere. Shhh, I don’t want hubby to know, he says I am addicted to chin chin.
Do you know what I like about these savory pastry snacks? It does not give me a sugar rush.

If you are from Ghana you get it. This savory variation of chin chin has its roots in Ghana; it features strong notes of onions, garlic and a little bite from the white pepper.
Since I am a sweet tooth gal I took the liberty of adding 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mixture. Which provides a hint of sweetness. Feel free to eliminate sugar from the recipe and please forgive me for including sugar. I feel it adds to the recipe rather than distract from its overall taste.
Enjoy!
