Special K Cracker Chips are a crunchy, light snack (containing approximately 80 calories per serving). They come in three flavours: Original, Sour Cream & Onion, Cheddar.

My husband and I really enjoyed the Sour Cream and Onion, my daughter LOVES the Cheddar ones and my son preferred the plain. The three boxes that we received for review lasted only a few days in our house! I found that there was just the … Continue reading →

The one thing I would love to see changed is … Continue reading →
