My Favorite Snack Crackers
Tuesday, November 29, 2005

I've made no secret about being an avid snacker.  And while I love my chips, candies, and cookies, there are certain times when I want nothing more than to sit down in front of the TV and unwind with a box of my favorite crackers.  The great thing about crackers is that they are a very versatile snack.  You can enjoy them straight out of the box or take some time to prepare them with various toppings (cheese, peanut butter, cold cuts, etc.).  I usually just like to get down to the snacking part, so I hardly ever add toppings to my favorites.  Then again, these are so tasty by themselves that I don't think I'm really missing anything.  At any rate, here is a short list of my all-time favorites.

Chicken in a Biskit
I've been eating these crackers since I was a little kid, and I really like them.  The trouble is, I can't say precisely why I like them.  They have an excellent flavor, that's for sure.  But I'm just not sure what that flavor is.  From the name of the cracker, you'd guess that they're chicken-flavored; however, that's not exactly it.  Let's just say that the taste is hard to describe, but that it's good -- and leave it at that.  Another reason that I like these crackers is that they are thick and crunchy, so you feel like you're getting a substantial snack out of them.  You can eat a couple of handfuls and be satisfied.

Triscuit
Triscuit wafers are also an old standby from my childhood.  These days they come in a bunch of different flavors, such as Garden Herb and Rosemary & Olive Oil.  From what I understand, these crackers are actually pretty healthy in that a single serving provides something like 13% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of dietary fiber.  Most people prefer to add toppings to their Triscuits, but not me.  I love all of the flavors, including Original, without any extra adornments.  So if you're looking for a healthy, yet still very hearty and flavorful cracker, it's time for you to rediscover Triscuits.

Cheese-Flavored Ritz Bits
These are bite-sized sandwiches made from Ritz crackers and cheddar cheese.  They are absolutely delicious and I can never get enough of them!  Ritz crackers are very light and buttery, and they taste perfect with cheddar cheese.  In fact, I really have to watch myself when eating Ritz Bits because it's so hard to stop eating them that I'm liable to go through a large quantity in a very short time.  This is a great snack for people who want more than just crackers but who don't want to spend extra time in the kitchen preparing their own toppings.  Ritz Bits are available in three different flavors and also come in single-serving bags that are perfect for popping into your children's lunchboxes (or even your own).

Well, these are just a few of my all-time favorite snack crackers.  The next time you are at the grocery store, be sure to pick up a box for yourself.  Who knows -- you may end up liking them as much as I do!
