Sutherland said different lamington recipes were reviewed to get the perfect flavour.
"It's then a matter of breaking down the flavour experience and finding key elements that can be translated to a seasoning," she said.
"In our Lamington chip, you will find hints of flavours including chocolate, coconut, cream and butter!"
The limited edition chips are expected to be on shelves at Woolworths and selected convenience stores from January 1.
The latest flavour joins a Smith's garlic bread and Peking duck, tomato sauce and gravy.
But readers weren't very impressed with the new innovation.
"I'll stick to savoury flavours thank you," wrote one woman.
Another man said, "Almost as stupid as the recent spate of trendy flavoured milks, like Mint slice, Iced VoVos, and other crap flavours."
Others called for the return of the garlic bread chip or a meat pie flavour.
Some said the new flavour combination might work.
"A few years back, I'd have thought that the idea of mixing Cadbury Dairy Milk and Vegemite was reprehensible … Who knows, this just might work," wrote one man.
Another woman pointed out how sweet chips were common in parts of Asia.
"Can taste pretty okay. So I'm not opposed to this," she said.
"I think us Aussies should try to be open to new flavours. Too often I see people snub flavours without even trying it."
