\"\"<\/a>Have you guys ever had those Andy Capp’s Cheddar Fries<\/a>?\u00a0 They can be found in the chip aisle at the grocery store and they are completely horrible (Here’s Good Guide’s Nutrition Stats <\/a>for the Cheddar Fries) for you, yet totally addictive tasting.\u00a0 Some people like the Hot Fries the best.\u00a0 You know those fries?<\/p>\n

Well I used to love those cheddar fries.\u00a0 For serious.\u00a0 I would sometimes have them as a snack with a glass of red wine because that’s the kind of Klassy girl that I am.\u00a0 Plus they are cheap!\u00a0 And if you were lucky enough that your grocery store was having them on sale, you could get them even cheaper!<\/p>\n

Now the times have changed and you all know that I limit my intake of processed foods down to the bare minimum.\u00a0 Yes I still eat packaged crackers and I still love me some chips<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m only human after all!\u00a0 I also try really hard to look for healthier alternatives to some of my favorite stuff just so I can have a treat every now and again.<\/p>\n

I never expected to find an alternative to Cheddar Fries.\u00a0 Honestly, I figured this was one snack that was lost to me forever.\u00a0 Then one fateful day I was breezing through the grocery store when I stopped right in my tracks causing my cart to skid right out into a shelf full of protein powders.\u00a0 I didn’t even care (Sorry Jay Robb<\/a>!)\u00a0 because I was too busy looking at this little bag of potential deliciousness.<\/p>\n

Snikiddy Cheddar Cheese Fries<\/a>.\u00a0 I probably stared at this bag for a good five minutes before even picking it up to hold and look over.\u00a0 Was my mind deceiving me?\u00a0 Was someone trying to play a really cruel trick on me?\u00a0 Because tempting me with healthy fries and then busting that bubble would in fact be terribly cruel.<\/p>\n

I picked up the bag ever so gently and read the ingredient listing.\u00a0 It seriously blew me away!\u00a0 Yes it is still a processed product but for a processed chip like item, the ingredients are pretty good.\u00a0 Check them out:<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong>: CORNMEAL, POTATO FLAKES, SUNFLOWER OIL, SEASONING (WHEY, CHEDDAR CHEESE [CULTURED PASTEURIZED MILK, SALT, ENZYMES], WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SALT, DRY BUTTERMILK, SOYBEAN OIL, ONION POWDER, YEAST EXTRACT, CULTURED WHOLE MILK, NONFAT MILK, ROMANO CHEESE FROM COW\u2019S MILK [CULTURED PASTEURIZED PART SKIM MILK, SALT, ENZYMES], PARMESAN CHEESE [CULTURED PART SKIM MILK, SALT, ENZYMES], MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, CITRIC ACID, LACTIC ACID, EXTRACTIVES OF ANNATTO AND TURMERIC).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can read every ingredient on that list and not stumble.\u00a0 There is no vague things like “spices”, “artificial and natural flavors”, and most importantly no “and\/or” when referring to three different kinds of oils.\u00a0 These fries are also Gluten and Wheat Free, No Preservatives, No Corn Syrup, No Transfats, and No Hydrogenated oils.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes you read that right!<\/p>\n

So I bought them and brought them home.\u00a0 I tucked them away into the pantry saving them for just the perfect moment.\u00a0 That perfect moment came during last week’s vacation!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here they are in all their glory.\u00a0 I poured out a little bowl and smelled them to see exactly what I was getting into.\u00a0 They smelled like cheddar fries and now it was time for the taste test.<\/p>\n

I tried one and then another immediately afterwards.\u00a0 Scott asked me how they were at which time I yelled, “HOLY CRAP** Scott!\u00a0 These are AWESOME!!!”<\/p>\n

**Please note that I most likely did not say, “HOLY CRAP” but actually said another four letter word beginning with F.\u00a0 OHC tries to keep it semi-clean up in here.<\/em><\/p>\n

I demanded that he come into the kitchen STAT and try some out for himself.\u00a0 He did and he also loves them.\u00a0 He asked for another small little bowl of goodness.<\/p>\n

They are seasoned well and leave your fingers delightfully cheesy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>These “fries” are also baked and not fried in any way scoring even more bonus points.\u00a0 They are a great sometimes snack and would be great to put out at a party.\u00a0 They are light and crispy with a nice cheesy taste.\u00a0 They won’t weight your tum or your healthy conscious down at all.<\/p>\n

Snikiddy <\/a>makes lots of other products as well, so please check out their site!\u00a0 They can also be found on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.\u00a0 If you like cheese fries or cheesy puff type snacks, definitely give these snacks a try.\u00a0 They are tasty and the ingredient list is sound!<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: I bought these fries on my own but with Scott’s credit card.\u00a0 Don’t worry, he was standing right there.\u00a0 The review is my honest opinion.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
