Tantos Puffed Pasta Chips in Cacio e Pepe are a light, crunchy puffed pasta snack that captures the savory heat of aged Pecorino and cracked black pepper—sold as a pack of two 4 oz bags.

These chips reinterpret the classic Roman pasta flavor into a snackable, better-for-you puffed chip developed by Top Chef Joe Sasto and featured on Shark Tank. Each bite layers tangy, aged cheese notes with a bright pepper finish on a pale, pasta-shaped puff that’s intentionally lighter than traditional fried chips. The two-pack gives you pantry-ready portions for everyday snacking, sharing, or mixing into parties and lunchboxes.
