REVIEW:

Lately we have come to the realization that we love Snapdragon’s products…and with good reason. We have had the pleasure of trying a few of them in the past couple weeks and they have all been great. These Bangkok Sweet Chili Baked Rice Crisps reminds us why we love them so much.

Let’s start with Snapdragon’s signature baked rice crisps. They are one of the tastiest rice crisps that I have ever had. You can definitely taste the sweetness of the rice in it. These rice crisps are baked and not fired which means it has a lot less fat than fried chips. Snapdragon has the flavoring perfected. A lot of times strong flavors like this Bangkok Sweet Chili tend to overpower the flavor of the cracker. So much so that it starts tasting artificial and it just leaves an unpleasant aftertaste in your mouth. With this cracker the flavor is not overly strong and is more of a flavor enhancement than the main show. It is a nice sweet flavor; just a little sweeter than the Whole-Grain Brown Rice flavor that we had last week. While the name of the flavor does contain the word “chili” don’t be too afraid because there is only a light hint of spiciness.

This cracker is a great healthier alternative to chips. This are baked, which not only gives it a nice lighter texture, but it also helps with the fat and calorie content. With 140 calories, 3 grams of fat, 0 cholesterol, and 120 milligrams of sodium it’s definitely on the healthier side as far as snacks go.

This flavor of cracker is great with a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and crunch. It is suitable for just about everyone including people who are gluten free and vegan. This product does contain soy though so if you are allergic, you might want to look elsewhere. There is also labeling on the package that states that this product is manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts so if you have a severe peanut allergy, you might want to be extra careful with this product.

Taste: Great light sweet and spicy flavor in this cracker. The flavor is not overpowering and shares the spotlight with the equally tasty rice cracker.

Labeling: The labeling on this package is very simple and clean. All the important information is right on the front of the box. This cracker is gluten free and vegan. Things to note are that this product contains soy and is processed in a facility that also processes peanuts.

Packaging: The packaging is very simple much like other crackers. The crackers are sealed in an airtight cellophane bag which is placed in a paperboard box.

Reader’s Reviews: Please share with us your review of this company’s other products + where you purchased the product + how long you have been using this product. Please no review from the family + friends of the company producing the product…
