Special K cracker chips

I like 'em. If you sit down and accidentally eat the entire box you've only consumed 385 calories - unlike other chip snacks. So... my boys were saying "wow mom... these taste like seasoned cardboard."

So you would think they wouldn't eat them all, right?


WRONG...

Teenage boys are eating machines.

I like them too. I usually can't eat a whole serving with lunch..it's just too much. Even when I eat half a serving I start to feel guilty because I'm used to the normal bad chips, and then I remember I've only had like 50 calories

Southwest Ranch flavor is but you need a tictac after.

I myself prefer honky chips over cracker chips.

I've only had the sea salt ones, but they were delicious. Like kk2187 said, 1/2 a serving is enough for great eating with no guilt. With a 1/2 a sandwich of thin sliced lunch meat tomato and lettuce on low calorie bread its a win/win. Oh yeah....and a cup of coffee of course.

The carbs aren't bad either! I make some buffalo chicken dip and eat it with a few of those..gives me a little crunch without too much damage.


oh, and hide them. Pick somewhere teen boys won't look..like in the laundry room.

I count out 27 chips 'cuz that is a serving but dang it ticks me off when I have a 1/2 a sandwich and was looking forward to some sour cream and onion cracker chips only to find a mere 3 in a box. I just cannot believe they dissed 'em and turned around and ate every box I had.

liberty,

Funny you mentioned the 'laundry room' because I do have a cabinet in there with a food stash. I just didn't have the cracker chips in there because they acted like they were too vile to eat. I thought I was safe.

kk2187,

'Southwest Ranch' I will have to try those. I didn't care much for the cheese ones but the sea salt and sour cream/onion are pretty good!!!

I bought some today. I'm not really a chip fan, unless we're talking sour cream and onion Pringles.
