We love a good sweet-and-salty snack. Chunk Nibbles crunchy snack mix is based on a recipe that the founder’s grandfather had been using for decades. It’s a mix of confectionary wafers, nuts, pretzels, corn squares, and different accents like graham crackers and marshmallows (for S’mores) or peanut butter chips (for Peanut Butter Chocolate). The treats […]

We recently discovered a new breakfast treat: Crepini Cheddar Omelets. Six-inch-long whole-egg omelets are filled with real Cheddar cheese, which melts nicely after 15 seconds in the microwave. Crepini Cheddar Omelets are three times thicker than a standard crêpe. You can eat them cold from the fridge, too, which may sound strange, but they taste […]
February is National Snack Month, a good time to reflect on your go-to snacks. If they’re potato chips, maybe it’s time to reconsider (whole-grain pretzels, veggie chips?). If you have a sweet tooth, maybe wean off of Oreos to a crunchy fruit snack, like these apple chips. Thanks to Envy Apples for the recipe. Envy […]

Honey Stinger waffle snacks were developed for athletes who need “the right fuel to meet every challenge.” We wouldn’t think that our couch-potato self would need a sports nutrition product, but Honey Stinger has become a “regular” in our life: in the morning with coffee, as an afternoon snack, and even with an ice cream […]
We couldn’t believe that N!CK’S Swedish Style Snack Bar had no added sugar (and just 2g sugar overall). The line was developed to conform with the keto† diet. It provides a full-flavor candy bar experience using non-caloric, plant-based sweeteners; and delivers 14g – 15g of protein to boot. You’d never know that there was zero […]
[1] Just peel and eat. The packaging lets you consume the whole stick without needing a napkin (all photos © 4505 Meats). [2] A trio of flavors: Cheddar, Red Hot and Original. Each two-ounce stick delivers 24g protein. [3] Which would you rather have? [4] Treat yourself to a box; above, Cheddar & Uncured Bacon. […]

We decided to try […]
