To cook these, I popped them into a super hot oven (450 degrees F!) for the suggested time. It did take the full 25 minutes to get crispy - after 20 minutes it was still pretty soggy. However, after 25, it was really very crispy. I may even go so far as to say crunchy. While they were baking, they tasted very strongly of chipotle, and I began to get a little worried that they end up being too spicy for me.

Something I'm going to highly recommend is to actually let it cool a couple minutes after taking it out of the oven. I was pretty impatient, and took a bite as soon as my mouth could handle it, and it tasted kind of blah. After a couple minutes, though, the chipotle flavors started to come through, and, to a lesser degree, a little citrus hint at the end. It turned out to be a good amount of spiciness (for me) - felt the burn a little, but didn't run crying for a glass of milk. (what do vegans drink when food is too spicy?) The spice increased as I ate more of the crispy finger, as chipotle tends to do, so be aware of that. I ended up dipping them into a little bit of ranch dressing, to help cool things down slightly.

I can see these being very good in the recommended applications printed on the bag - a wrap or a salad. They're not super exciting on their own, but I think that, with other ingredients, the flavors would complement each other nicely.
