Pirate's Booty Aged White Cheddar Cheese Puffs, 24ct, 1oz Indvidually Sized Bags, Healthy Kids Snacks, Gluten Free

I sometimes crave something salty and crunchy, but I'm allergic to MSG and although most chips don't have it I don't like the greasiness of chips. I usually buy a small bag of Cheetos because it has less MSG than other brands, but then Pirate's Booty Pirate's Booty, Aged White Cheddar, 1-Ounce Bags (Pack of 24)appeared as an Amazon.com Lightning Deal and I decided to try them because it's the first chees snack product I've found that has NO MSG.It was delivered well within the specified time frame, and the box was intact. I know some reviewers stated the puffs were stale but mine are fresh and crunchy, and the outdate isn't until Nov. 13, 2013. They're very crunchy and the texture is nothing like a rice cake. I was surprised at the little different taste; there's a little added pepper that gives the cheesy crunch a little bite. I don't like spicy foods, and this adds just a little tang that isn't overwhelming. These puffs are small so it looks like there's a lot in 1 ounce, and it takes me a while to nibble through a serving.This is a snack food so I have to be realistic about its nutritional value, but it is better than other snack cheese products. I'll give a comparison between Pirate's Booty and Cheetos, with that of the Cheetos product in parenthesis: Calories per 1-ounce serving: 130 (150); Calories from fat: 45 (90); Total fat: 5 grams (10 gm.) with saturated fat 1 gram (1.5 gm.); no cholesterol for either; Sodium: 140 mg (300 mg) - this was surprising to me because they taste really salty - Total carbohydrate: 19 grams (13 gm.) with no (less than 1) gram dietary fiber and no (1 gram) sugars; and Protein: 2 grams protein in each. Overall, this is a much better snack.I'm glad I bought the 1-ounce bags because I could easily overdose on a serving of these! This is my new go-to snack to keep me on my diet!

The aged white cheddar Pirates Booty is hands down one of my favorite dry salty snacks. I've been eating it for 5 years not and don't know if I'll ever get sick of it.For the volume of snackage thats in the package, it has half the calories (130) than there would be if the same volume of potato chips were in the bag. In other words, its not one of those tricky bags of chips that is only 130 calories, but upon opening the bag, you find that it was pumped full of air and there's only 5 chips! When you open a bag of pirates booty, it is chock full of delicious, flavorful white cheddar puffs. They are crunchy, and melt in your mouth at the same tOf course, fresh fruits and veggies are still the healthiest snack. Pirate's Booty is mostly carbs, a wee bit of protein, fiber, and calcium. But compared to other snacks you find in the same aisle at the grocery store, this is a much healthier alternative. The ingredients have nothing to be skeptical about, which is another plus.It is the perfect snack to "splurge" on if you're dieting, as the caloric content doesn't make much of a dent, there's a lot in the bag, and it's full of flavor!

I used these for "hidden treasure" at the end of our treasure hunt in my second grade classroom on Pirate Day. The students loved the image on the front, the flavor, and the fact that it says "booty" of course. I liked the value for the amount of packages, and the size of each bag!

I stumbled upon Pirates Booty accidentally at Target when looking for a snack for work. I was looking for white cheddar popcorn and picked this up by mistake, and then fell in love!! I prefer this snack so much more over popcorn because it's not crumbly and the kernels don't get stuck in your teeth. The 1 oz bags are enough to satisfy my craving for something crunchy and I don't have to feel guilty about it because it's pretty healthy!!I've seen others have problems when buying snacks like this in bulk and getting bags that are close to expiring. I bought my box of 24 in July and the expiration date on them is for December so no worries on that!

I ordered a case (pack of 24) of the pirates booty aged white cheddar never having tried them but i've heard good things. I was expecting more of a popcorn texture but i think it more closely resembles a less dense cheeto. They're really good you definitely get the white cheddar flavor in each bite and there are quite a few of those things in the 1 oz bag. I like that you don't just get 10-15 like most 100 calorie (ish) snacks. I did not find them to be as filling as i had anticipated but it does satisfy your craving for a crunchy snack. I had been on a snyders 100 cal pretzel binge lately and i think i'll alternate between the pretzels & pirates booty. I would love to see the price per unit go down as these are nearly four times more expensive than my pretzel snacks. I doubt they are having a hard time moving product anyway but i think lowering the price a little would make me buy them much more often. Overall GREAT tasting snack and i would highly recommend.

I've always liked these snack puffs, as they are tasty without being overfilled with flavor or excess dust. While their health value really isn't a lot different from some other snacks, they're healthier than other cheese puffs, so if that is your thing, then go for these (although if you like the typical overdone flavor of Cheetos or something like those, you may need to adjust your expectations). Also very inexpensive for the larger boxes!
