Sweet Pop

Ok ok...I know that I just recently blogged about popchips, but I had to tell everyone about this one! It's a sweet potato popchip. This tasty little snack is something that you are always going to want to have around to munch on. The natural sweetness is balanced with the touch of salt that each chip has. The earthy and deep flavors that are packed into each little chip is amazing. For me, I think that these are slightly addictive. Plus since they are made with sweet potatoes, I like to think that they are slightly better for you than the regular popchips. Don't get me wrong though, I am pretty sure that even the regular potato popchips are better for you than regular chips. Bottom line... the predicted rain for this weekend means that this is the perfect movie snack for all the movies you will probably be watching. So hop on over to the store and pick yourself up a bag (or three) and munch away!

Snack Time

If you are looking for a snack that won't stretch your waistband, try pretzel crisps by Snack Factory. This is a better version of the pretzel because it is thinner and crispier and less calories. I have not had these before and I decided to try the garlic parmesan. They were crunchy and flavorful. It felt like I was eating a piece of Italian goodness. About 10 crackers is 110 calories and these are more filling then they might seem. They are also pretty large, so it's not like you are eating mini pretzels. One of the cool things about this bag is that there are ideas for 10 second appetizers. This one was to melt a piece of mozzarella on the crisp and then top with a cherry tomato and basil. I will be making this, except I would use a sundried tomato. This would be perfect for a small get together or for a wine and cheese night. They have many different flavors, so this is definitely a snack that you need to try!
