Snyder's Wholey Cheese! Crackers

Yes, dear readers, this is a non-health food review. While picking up some saltines to replenish the household supply, I spotted these and was intrigued. I have tried the Cello Parmesan Whisps crackers and thought these might be similarly yummy and low carb.  Well, are they? They were much less expensive than the Cello Parmesan Whisps and certainly more easily obtained. I can almost never find those Parmesan Whisps.

40% less fat? Well, count me in. That should have been a clue that these were not remotely like the Parmesan Whisps since the Whisps are made of nothing except cheese. They are popular with the low-carb/high-fat (keto) crowd for their lack of carbs and relatively high fat content.

120 calories is not bad for a generous serving size and 4 grams of fat is also pretty good. The carb grams are quite high as well as the sodium. No fiber, either.  The ingredient list is free of frankenfoods, but the potato starch and rice flour increase the carbs and basically make this a "Pringles" type of cracker/chip with cheese flavoring. I am disappointed, but not surprised. Real cheese crackers are pretty easy to make yourself if you want a real cheese-only cracker. Just bake a small mound or small slice of cheese in the oven until brown. You can also cook them on the stove top in a skillet.

As you can see, they are light and puffy, kind of like a puffy Cheez-Its with holes. I chose the smoked gouda flavor because I am a sucker for gouda. The taste was salty and kind of had an artificial flavor and the cheese powder stuck to my hands. The texture; however, was light and crispy.  I suppose if you are looking for a lower-fat cheese cracker, these would be worth it. If you buy these thinking they are more cheese than starch, you will be disappointed. Read the label. I probably won't buy these again.

Thanks for the tip on baking cheese. I didn't know that. Good review.

I have been eating a snack just like this one. It says in the commercial of that snack that I am fond of eating, it's baked and not fried, but as I look on its nutrition facts it's not healthy. Not like this snack that you are promoting in your blog. I really love to eat cheese flavored snacks, but most of the time, they are expensive or just like the snack that I have been talking about. I think this snack is really perfect for picnics or movie nights with family and friends. I will but some of this maybe if we already set another movie night.

Thanks for the review. They look good, and because I'm partial to Snyder's because they're local and I like their other products, I might have bought these on impulse. Now I'd feel guilty :):):)

I also like Snyder's. Their products are generally very good. I especially like their pretzels. Thanks for your comment!
