Recently, as part of the Kelloggers Network, I received a Special K Starter Kit filled with cereals, snacks and more to help get me on the right track in my health.
Of course, as soon as I opened up the box of goodies, my family dove in - head first...literally!
My entire family loves Special K cereals and bars! Our favourite Special K bar flavour is chocolate and we LOVE the Special K Red Berries cereal too!
The box of Special K Cracker Chips lasted one snack session with my family! The kids were so bummed when I said they were gone. I will have to get some more. They have a similar seasoning to chips but are so much healthier!
