To maximize your amount of chips from the pita, cut the pita into thirds, then the outer thirds get cut into three pieces. The middle section gets cut in half then again at an angle. You now will get 10 chips from each large pita.
Brush the pita chips with the melted cumin butter then bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Once crispy, remove from the oven and on to the fun part.
Sprinkle the warm pita chips with the sweet and spicy cinnamon chili sugar. Serve with the Peach Mango Salsa Cream Cheese Dip and win the game!!!!!
