TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Cheddies Cheddar Cheese Crackers

Admin

Forget the chips, forget the pretzels: Our favorite crunchy snack is Cheddies cheddar cheese crackers.

Cheddies were a serendipitous food find.

Last summer, we were at an enormous trade show—think the Disneyland of food, occupying an entire convention center.

After tasting samples of every type of food for four hours straight, we could not eat another bite. It was time to go home.

On the way out, someone handing out samples offered us a bag of Cheddies. We were food-bleary and too tired to refuse, so we dropped them into our tote bag and headed out.

The next day, as we sorted through the tote bag, we found the little bag of Cheddies and ate them. Delicious!

We headed to the website, and then to Amazon, where we used our Amazon Prime subscription to save on a shipment of six family-size bags.

And after re-ordering and enjoying bag after bag, we concluded: Cheddies are more than delicious. They are addictive.

There are four varieties:

  • Barbeque
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Garlic Parmesan
  • White Cheddar
  •  
    The line is all natural, preservative-free and certified kosher. We promise you happy crunching.
     
     
    BEYOND SNACKING

    We also use Cheddies for/in/with:

  • Apples or other fresh fruit snack
  • Apple pie crust
  • Bags to treat friends and colleagues
  • Cheese board
  • Chex mix
  • Chili, soup and stew garnish
  • Crust for chicken, fish, mozzarella sticks, etc.
  • Dipping
  • Mac & cheese topping (instead of breadcrumbs)
  • Mixed into popcorn
  • Salad croutons
  • Stocking stuffers

    INVENTING A GREAT FOOD PRODUCT

    The Cheddies line was created by two brothers in college, who weren’t thrilled with the snacks they bought from the store.
    After surveying their peers, nearly all of them enjoyed snacking on cheese crackers.

    So the brothers got to work, starting with whole block, all natural cheddar cheese as the main ingredient. You can taste the cheddar quality in each bite.
