Some of you may already have tried this product, but I just tried it the other day and only one word comes to mind... AMAZING!

I'm sure many of you know the feeling when you just NEED to rip open a big ol' bad of potato chips and devour every last crumb. Well, I'm not saying that this is a good idea on a daily basis, but when you are having one of those days, here's an awesome alternative! Special K Cracker Chips. I am in love with the Sour Cream and Onion flavor. They taste just like Sour Cream and Onion Pringles! Here's the best part... the serving size is 27 chips, which is 110 calories, and there are 3.5 servings per box, so if you lose control and eat the whole thing, it's still only 385 calories!!! You can easily fit that into your calorie goal without going over! On the other hand, if you ate an entire bag of Lay's Sour Cream and Onion chips, you would have eaten 1,600 calories. Ahh!

To compare them exactly:
94.5 Special K Sour Cream and Onion Cracker Chips (because apparently there are 94.5 chips per box) is 385 calories
94.5 Lay's Sour Cream and Onion Chips is 889 calories

And I'm telling you, these things taste SO GOOD!


(p.s. I know it's healthier to eat fruits and veggies instead of chips, but this is really great for the days when your cravings are getting the best of you)

    Yup. I have a hoard in my pantry. 8 boxes of the salt and sour cream and onion. I love the salt ones with salsa! The serving size is humungus and there are times I only need half a serving (15 chips) to satisfy that crunchy craving!!

    I won't always have a supply like this, I just got them for a really good sale price AND I had a coupon on them so each box only ended up costing me $1. (Reg price they were $3.24)

    I hope they have these in Canada. I used to eat the cheddar flavour of crispy minis (90 calorie pack), but I can't seem to find them anywhere anymore! :(

    I LOVE the Special K cracker chips sour cream and onion, I use them with lunches or as snacks. I love the serving size is 27 chips really seems like a lot to me. I wish they would come out with new flavors and make the sea salt ones taste more like salt and vinegar chips and I would be in heaven!

    Mmmm, yummy! I tend to go opt for crutons when I need chips. Crunchy and salty and I'm usually good after only a few.
