I found these a few weeks ago at my local grocery store and I’ve been meaning to post them ever since. They were in the Asian food section by the soy sauce. It was quite a surprise as I’ve been down that aisle many times and I never noticed them before. So I checked out the nutritional information and I was pleased to find that 4 crisps are only 120 calories.
I guess I now need to tell you whether or not I liked them. Well, that’s a good question. I think I would like them if they weren’t the sweet and salty flavor. I’m not sure I’m a fan of the sweet and salty in the same bite. It’s like my taste buds get confused.
That being said, I like the light airy crunch and I LOVE the fact that they are only 30 calories a piece. Just prefect when you need a crunchy snack or something quick before dinner’s ready. But unless there is another flavor I can find, I don’t think I’ll be buying them again.
Has anyone else seen, heard or tried of them before?
Sorry I can’t find the company’s web site anywhere and they aren’t on Amazon so no link for this find. :~(

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good!

I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -

It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters.

Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -

I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -

I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me.

I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -

I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

I haven’t seen these. My first initial reaction was that they looked yummy…..until you said they had the sweet/salty taste to them. But then again, I love kettle corn so I might like them.
Salty things always make me want to eat moremoremore. Just last night I ate some kettle chips and though “yuck, these are salt*munch*munch*munch”.
No more kettle chips.
Roni,
Look at this link http://shopuncleharrys.dukestores.duke.edu/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16_126&sort=20a&page=2.
Wow! That seems like a really long link. I’m not very good at this, so I hope it works, but I found some spicy ones, and a bunch of other products from that same company…and others.

I found something very similar to them, but they were just a sweet flavor, they had a vanilla powder dusting. They really did have a good crisp airy bite. My son has every food allergy known to man so that’s how I initially found these, but unfortunately for him I polished them off.. :) I’ll see if I have any left because I think this brand had a website. They also had an asian BBQ flavor unless I’m mistaken, which is very possible.
Sweet and salty is one of my weaknesses and I would probably totally go for these. I also like the Wasabi peas that you find in the Oriental aisle. I throw a few in a salad once in awhile or mix a few in with dry cereal along with a few raisins to make a kinda Chex Mix thing.
One of my favorite places to get lost is in the International foods aisle at the supermarket…it is full of fun things to try!
I buy these all the time. Not this brand, but the product. The crisps do come in several flavors — sweet and salty (like you had), just salty, and a savory almost soy flavor. I buy them at the Japanese grocery store, and since I don’t speak Japanese, and the only english on the packages is the nutritional info, it’s completely random as to what flavor I’m getting. I like the plain salty ones the best and the savory ones are awful.
I’ll try to look for it when I go to the grocery, I like also sweet and salty taste.
Hi Roni,
I’ve found some rice crackers at the health food store that I really like but I don’t usually buy them because of the cost, and because they are inspire me to overeat on them. (!)
The only ingredient is brown rice, (no salt, no sugar, nothing else) which is perfect for me. They really are good. :)
I often buy rice cakes that whose only ingred. is brown rice (no salt, nothing besides b. rice). These aren’t the same as the crackers, they’re rice cakes….I like the Meijer brand, they remind me of puffed rice cereal.
I don’t eat them everyday since whole food is better, but they’re great for traveling and being on the go.
If these are the ones I’m thinking of, they are sometimes called snow crackers or snow wafers. Salty, light rice wafers with a thin sweetish coating, right?
Personally, I love them, but only one or two at a time. They have just enough of the “sweet and salty” to make me feel happy, but the flavor is bland enough that I don’t feel like eating the whole bag.
The soy or teriyaki flavored ones are wonderful.
The plain or wasabi ones are really good with a Laughing Cow Light spreadable cheese wedge. The savory ones average less than 10 calories per crisp and the cheese is 35 for the wedge. Great rich taste for not a lot of calories.
I live in Grenada and eat these crackers all the time. I put creamy peanut butter and apple butter on them and make a sandwich. I find they are much more filling this way. Im back for the summer in the US and cant find them anywhere. I have looked extensively online and just like everyone else cannot find any information except from Uncle Harry’s website for Duke University which is closed for the summer. If anyone could let me know where they have found the light and sweet ones I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
