Ever since I bought a huge box of Snikiddy snacks at a local warehouse club, our family has become huge fans of their Cheese Puffs, and thanks to Smile.ly, we got a chance to try out Snikiddy’s new Baked Fries!
Snikiddy® is a brand of great-tasting, family-friendly snack foods made from simple, wholesome and real ingredients. Snikiddy’s new Baked Fries are a healthful tasty alternative to typical fried snacks like potato chips, veggie sticks and veggie chips. The crunchy, savory baked fries have 50 percent less fat than regular potato chips, making them a favorite of families seeking out healthy snack options.
We were fortunate to receive a bag of Snikiddy Baked Fries in Cheddar Cheese Flavor.
My boys and I love cheesy snacks, and the Snikiddy Baked Fries were very cheesy, and very crunchy. The cheese flavor was really bold, which I loved, and before we knew it, all the Baked Fries were gone!
I think it’s great that these snacks contain no corn syrup, trans fats, or preservatives, and they are a very delicious, healthier alternative to other cheese snacks out there.
The Baked Fries come in a variety of flavors–Bold Buffalo, Classic Ketchup, and more–and I can’t wait to try them all!

Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I started to put mayonnaise on my sandwiches, and ever since then, I always have to have mayo on my sandwiches.
Same with DH–he makes his own sandwiches for lunch every day, and he has to have mayo too.
Thanks to Kraft Foods, we were able to try out the new Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo that really made our sandwiches more flavorful!
KRAFT SANDWICH SHOP Mayo is a line of flavored mayonnaise and reduced fat flavored mayonnaise, inspired and formulated with Kraft Foods’ culinary expertise. Now you can bring the sandwich shop experience home to your kitchen.
The Sandwich Shop Mayo comes in four flavors: Chipotle, Horseradish-Dijon, Hot & Spicy, and Garlic & Herb.
All of the flavors added a nice, flavorful kick to otherwise “plain” sandwiches. With the Sandwich Shop Mayo, we were able to liven up turkey sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, wraps, and more!
I even used a little of the Horseradish-Dijon Mayo, which was my favorite, as a dip for pretzels!
DH enjoyed them all. Even though I asked him numerous times which one was his favorite, he really couldn’t say.
I don’t think we could go back to “regular” mayo again…
If you think your sandwich needs a “makeover” too, try one of the Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo flavors to see for yourself what a difference it makes.

Rudolph’s Cinnamon Churros

I’ve never had a churro before, but thanks to Rudolph’s, I was able to try some Cinnamon Churros that, although I’m sure can’t compare to eating a fresh, hot churro, still tasted really yummy!
I was fortunate to receive several bags of Cinnamon Churros.
The cinnamon churros were crispy and light, with just the right amount of sweetness.
I gave some to both my boys, and they were both hesitant to try the churros since they didn’t see anything like it before, but once Little Music Man got a taste, he asked for more. Smiley Boy, on the other hand, was too afraid to even try it (he’s VERY picky), but I know once he gets brave enough to take a bite, I’m sure he’ll enjoy the sweetness of the cinnamon churros!
Although the churros can be a bit messy, they are really tasty and I can only imagine how good it will be crushed up atop some vanilla ice cream. YUM!
Maybe one day I’ll get to try a “real” churro, but until then, I’m happy eating Rudolph’s Cinnamon Churros, and I’m saving a bag for when I pick up some vanilla ice cream!

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Cheesy Explosion

Little Music Man loves eating Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, and he recently got to try out some of the cheesiest mac & cheese in Kraft’s new Cheesy Explosion Line!
Everyone is talking about New KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Cheddar Explosion! It’s bursting with more cheese sauce so your kids will be grinning-bowl to bowl. With bigger shapes and bigger blasts of cheese sauce, it’s a great choice for hungry kids-and gives you every reason to smile.
We were fortunate to receive a box each of Extreme Cheese Explosion, Grilled Cheese Explosion, and Cheddar Explosion.
The first box I opened was the Grilled Cheese Explosion.
I immediately noticed that preparation was a little different than regular Kraft Macaroni & Cheese in terms of how much milk and butter is used for the cheese sauce. Instead of 4 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of milk, Cheesy Explosion requires just 1/2 tablespoon of butter, but it requires more milk-1/2 cup.
What resulted was a very cheesy macaroni and cheese! Although I couldn’t really taste the “grilled cheese,” I could really tell the difference from “regular” mac & cheese–not only did it taste cheesier, but it looked cheesier too. I also liked how the pasta was a lot bigger, which meant it was easier for Little Music Man to eat (and less pasta would end up on the floor).
As I usually do when I make macaroni and cheese, I added mixed veggies and some chicken to make it an even heartier meal.
Little Music Man devoured the macaroni and cheese-and he happily ate more for dinner again the next night!
We still have one more box left to try–Cheddar Explosion, and I know he’ll enjoy that too! After all, he loves just about anything topped with cheese–pasta, sandwiches, pizzas, etc.–so I’m sure it would be hard for him to resist something as cheesy as Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Cheddar Explosion!
