In the spirit of Father's Day this weekend, The Kitchen co-hosts shined a light on one of Dad's all-time favorite pastimes — snacking — on this morning's episode. While bags of cheese-flavored chips and salty pretzels are surely tried-and-true classics, you can easily dress up these go-to bites and turn them into all-new munchies.

You know Dad loves Buffalo chicken wings, so he'll surely be wowed by these Buffalo Potato Chips too. The secret ingredient? A mild hot sauce drizzle, which clings to ruffled potato chips. For an extra level of flavor, add blue cheese for a welcome bite.

All it takes is five ingredients to make Smoky Lime Tortilla Chips, ready to eat in just five quick minutes. Mix together a blend of smoked paprika, smoked salt and ground chipotle to toss with tortilla chips; the warm, bold flavors of the spices transform ordinary chips, while the refreshing tang of lime juice brightens up the taste.

Even if you start with salt-covered pretzels, what you'll have after making Cinnamon and Caramel Pretzel Chips is pure sweetness. After blanketing the pretzels with warm caramel sauce, sprinkle on a combo of cinnamon and sugar, so the fragrant topping adheres to the sticky sauce.
