Snack Mix, Roasted Garlic Rye Chips, 8 oz (Pack of 12)

So yummy. Not always easy to find at store.

These Gardettos are fantastic!

The flavors are awesome, a very fun taste treat. Love these anytime but especially great when watching a movie.

I used to eat all the garlic chips out of a bowl of Gardetto's Snack Mix, which pissed everyone off. Then one day at one of Love's Tuck Stops, I found these Gardetto's Roasted Rye Chips hanging on the rack with all the other chips, and bought a bunch. Knowing they exist, I started looking everywhere else, but never did find them in any of the stores I happened to be in. The closest Love's Truck Stop was 75 miles away, so the last time I bought a few bags, I scanned them with my iPod, and found that Amazon sells them. Plus, Amazon also has them in 8 oz bags at a lower price than the 4.75 oz bags from Love's with free shipping on a case of 12 ($29.52 = $2.46 per bag, where Love's was around $2.59, or $2.69 per bag). I see this as a win-win situation, except my wife has discovered my cache, since 12 bags are a little hard to keep secret. It's a good deal, is what I'm passing along.

I could not find these chips in local stores, so I decided to search Amazon and voila! I really didn't want to order 12 bags without trying them first, but I trust reviews on Amazon, and we could always use them as doggy treats. (My dogs eat anything!) These chips, as one reviewer notes, are not healthy snacks...not even close. But they are tasty chips, and that's what I was looking for! They are almost perfect for home made chex mix snacks. I say almost because of the thickness. That's the only aspect I would change in these chips...the thickness. I would prefer these chips to be a little thinner, so that it's not too much of one thing in each bite of chex mix. So I break them up in the mix and they work fine. As far as "unhealthy", they are that! But that's what makes a snack, a snack! I try to limit fats, sugars, and calories so that I can enjoy them occasionally, and not make a meal out of them. I've had cancer once, and a good friend (who is a health nut) is going through it now, so I don't take my health lightly. But at the end of the day, we will all return to dust. So let the chips fall where they may (pun intended)!!!
