If you don't believe these could possibly be good, that's okay.  I didn't believe it either!  My honey still doesn't believe it.  He only ate one.  However, I really enjoyed these and so did a bunch of people at the cocktail party we brought them too.  I highly recommend taking the little extra time to drain and cool the kale chips on paper towels.  I was in a rush yesterday, packed them up in a container and they ended up steaming themselves during our drive.  This resulted in a not quite as crispy kale chip.  That issues aside, these totally fill my salty snack food craving in a much more healthy way.
