Picnicking & Tailgating:  

This recipe is ideal to prepare a day or two ahead.  We assume that it still will be in the refrigerator before heading out on your picnic or going to your tailgate party and not used as a snack.  You want to store in a plastic container and place in ice chest for the trip.  Store the chips in a closeable plastic storage bag.
