Cheddar Flavour Bites

Slim-Fast
14 Aug 2007

Two of my favourite things in life are cheese and salty snack foods so these cheddar flavoured bites seemed an ideal choice.

 

First thing to note is that the bag is TINY, now i understand it is because the snacks inside are small biscut style snacks rather than air-filled crisp style snacks but it still made my heart sink a little.

 

The next surprise was that the front of the packet shows a "serving suggestion" where the snacks are displayed amid wedges of cheese. Now they are admittedly small chunks of cheese but it seemed odd to suggest eating lumps of cheese with your nutritionally balanced snack.

 

Opening the bag revealed that I was worrying for nothing and there seemed a very reasonable number of the tiny biscuit triangles. the taste did not let them down and the packet was soon empty.

 

Made from wheat and potato they are oven baked to keep down the fat content although they do still creep above the 10% fat mark.  However, with only 99 KCals they were an ideal mid-afternoon snack and I felt like I had had a treat.
