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. :~(

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

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
Oh. My. Goodness. I found these at a discount store this weekend for 50 cents a bag. I am in love! The salty and sweet is just enough of each to keep all my taste buds happy at once. I went back today and bought 10 bags. The cashier thought I was crazy, but you never know how long those discount things will be around and gluten free happiness is hard to come by that cheap! I took them in my purse to the movie theatre to avoid the temptation of popcorn.
