There's no difference, you can go look at an Amazon listing for Lao Gan Ma and it says this:

"Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp (Chili Oil Sauce)"

The English language branding on the jar says "Chili Crisp". I'm literally looking at it in my pantry right now because now I wanna make Laoganma and Peanut Butter Toast

Is that a good sandwich ?

Yep. Anything with 香辣脆 is great.

PB+Ham or Turkey+Pickle+Cheddar is great as well

They use both terms, "Chili Oil" as well as "Chili Crisp", for slightly different products. I also prefer "Spicy Chili Crisp" but I'd still be happy using "Chili Oil with Fermented Soybeans" in its place for pretty much any dish. Their entirely product lineup has:

- "SPICY CHILI CRISP"

- "CHILI OIL WITH FERMENTED SOYBEANS"

- "HOT CHILI SAUCE"

- "FRIED CHILI IN OIL"

- "SPICY BEAN PASTE"

- "OIL CHILI CONDIMENTS W/MUSHROOM"

- "TOMATO CHILI SAUCE"

- "PICKLED CHILI"

There’s the peanut one too!
