We love to snack around our house quite a bit and are always looking for healthier alternatives of doing so. Yes, we love our sweets like Ice Cream or maybe a cookie, but for the most part we do what we can to be healthy. In a world full of obesity, sometimes it's really hard to stick to a strict regimen without letting go once in a while. My girls love going out for an ice cream treat once in a while and believe anything is OK in moderation. One of our very favorite snacks is chips, crackers, and my girls love cheese puffs. There is a great snack that is satisfying as well as good for you. I had the opportunity recently to review some delicious snacks from Michael Season's. I had never seen Michael Season's snacks anywhere until I started blogging and reading other blogs. There was nothing but really great reviews and giveaways linked to Michael Season's so I was excited to be able to try them for myself. I was sent the following products for review:*Hot Chili Pepper Curls-Looking for a cheese snack with a kick, this baked cheddar snack will satisfy your craving.
*White Cheddar Pops-Healthy snack alternative, 50% less fat than regular white cheddar pops.
*Jalapeno Puffs-Perfect balance between real cheddar cheese and the simple heat of Jalapeno Peppers, 50% less fat.
*Cheddar Cheese Puffs-Baked Cheddar Puff with 65% less fat than the regular cheddar puff. You will love this all natural, wheat free, gluten free snack. Made with real cheese and organic cornmeal, this will be you new favorite snack!
Let me tell you, we definitely enjoyed all of these snacks and love the fact that they are all baked and never fried. The oldest is starting to get into spicy foods so she was most excited to try the Jalapeno Puffs. Sometimes we have an easy dinner of sandwiches and chips, especially on night when the oldest has soccer practice, so these snacks were a perfect addition to that dinner. She really enjoyed her Jalapeno Puffs as did her dad, who really loves spicy foods. I tried a couple myself and they were delicious not to mention really crunchy. If you love foods with a little kick to them, you will definitely LOVE these. The White Cheddar Pops were my favorite, I love anything cheese but White Cheddar is one of my favorite cheeses out there. These were really light, airy and crispy snacks and I can tell you little one surely liked them, she couldn't get enough! The Cheddar Puffs were my oldest daughter's favorite and she ended up taking most of the bag with her to school with her lunches. She told me she shared some of them with her friends at lunchtime and they thought that they were really yummy. The Cheddar Cheese Curls were really delish too, crispy, crunchy and full of cheese flavor, I put these out at a family cookout that we had at our house and they went really fast. My hubby's favorite was definitely the Hot Chili Pepper Curls, he said they had an awesome flavor to them and pretty good kick as well. I tried a couple and he was definitely right. All of these snacks from Michael Season's would make great snacks for any time of the day, good to put out for parties, or just keep them to yourself. These are snacks you can feel good about eating and giving to your kids. These snacks are not greasy like some of the traditional snacks that you may be used to eating. I can't wait to try all of the other varieties and flavors of snacks that Michael Season's has to offer.
