Review: Special K makes crackers for healthy snacking
Mom Central recently contacted me to see if I’d be interested in reviewing a new Special K product, a line of healthy snacking crackers. I said yes for three reasons:
1. Special K is one of my favorite cereals so I was curious to see what their crackers would taste like.
2. I love snacks!
3. When I have a glass of wine I enjoy some cheese and crackers with it.
So I figured I had nothing to lose. They sent me two boxes of crackers. One was their Italian Tomato & Herb flavor and the other box contained foil packages of Multi-Grain Crackers.
Right off the bat, I have to give two thumbs’ up to the Multi-Grain crackers because they were perfect to pack in my six-year-old’s lunch bag for school. In the end they were the ones that got the most approval. Both girls enjoyed the flavor a lot, and were disappointed when we ran out. I also really liked them and they’re flavorful enough that I ate them without anything else. Very tasty and crunchy!
The Italian Tomato & Herb received less fanfare. Neither of the kids liked them, each only eating one lone cracker. I tried them as well and decided they were simply okay. They certainly weren’t awful by any means, but they weren’t delicious like the other ones had been, and I found that eating them alone reminded me a bit of canned tomato paste. However, just tonight I enjoyed a large handful of them with some thinly sliced cheddar cheese on top.
In the end, I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to buy the Italian Tomato & Herb crackers though I wouldn’t avoid them if someone served them to me. However, I will definitely buy the Multi-Grain flavor again since we all enjoyed them so much.
Overall, kudos to Special K for branching out from their tasty cereal to bring us healthy cracker choices for our families!
