Pirate's Booty GIVEAWAY! Ends 3/15

You may have noticed that the giveaways that I have going right now are edible. Everyone enjoys a good snack every now and then and I'm not finished sharing them yet...another edible giveaway is coming soon! (Hint-Hint: More cookies!)



Don't you enjoy finding healthier and fun snacks for your family? I do! I had the opportunity to sample a few delicious snacks from the Pirate Brands line. Not only are Pirate Brands snacks delicious, they are also healthier than some of snacks on the market today.

UPS arrived in my driveway and my son ran out to grab the packages I had waiting for me. One happened to be the samples that I've been anxiously awaiting. When I opened the package, I found a cute pirate's chest filled with goodies, ink pen, chip clip, and temporary tattoo's. It was time to get down to business and sample the goods inside...well, after my son immediately claimed the pirates chest, lol.

I remember when I was a young girl and my mother would purchase snacks in the rice cake area. The snacks were awesome! Unfortunately, I've never found them for my own family and believe me, I have been searching for them. Pirate Brand snacks are the next best thing if not better! These are also very welcoming with the fact that we are over-run with Girl Scout cookies at the moment since my daughter is in the Girl Scouts pushing cookies on everyone!

Products we were able to sample:

Original Tings Crunchy Corn Sticks
*All Natural
*Baked
*Vegan Friendly
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*150 Calories per serving (2 servings per 2oz bag)
*Contains Nutritional Yeast
*Kosher

Good, crispy snacks when you are looking for an original flavor. I'm trying to figure out what I can compare the taste to. Possibly corn chips but, these are not as hard as corn chips and less salt!

Pirate's Booty New York Pizza
*All Natural
*Baked
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*120 Calories per serving
*50% less fat than potato chips
*Kosher

New York Pizza had a light seasoning similar to the pizza chips available in the stores. They were puffy and the first thing my daughter thought was "popcorn". However, they do not look or taste like popcorn. I enjoyed this flavor but, apparently not as much as my son who devoured the entire bag!

Pirate's Booty Sea Salt & Vinegar
*All Natural
*Baked
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*130 Calories per serving
*50% less fat than potato chips
*Kosher

I'm going to be honest, I liked these the least out of the snacks. As with any Salt & Vinegar snacks, you must have an acquired taste for them. While I do enjoy some Salt and Vinegar chips and though these have a lighter taste than most, I didn't care for them too much. However, my son enjoyed this flavor.

Pirate's Booty Veggie
*All Natural
*Baked
*Vegan Friendly
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*130 Calories per serving
*50% less fat than potato chips
*Kosher

Normally I don't buy too many veggie flavored snacks because, I fear they won't taste any good. These are great! The veggie seasoning is just right and an original flavor comes through for a pleasurable taste. I need to remember not to "knock" veggie flavored snacks in the future!

Pirate's Booty Sour Cream & Onion
*All Natural
*Baked
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*130 Calories per serving
*50% less fat than potato chips
*Kosher

Mmmmmm, you know the slogan "Can't eat just one" from a popular brand of potato chips? These definitely fit that slogan! There is a perfect blend of spices to bring out the sour cream & onion without being overpowering as some chips are. Loved em'!

Pirate's Booty Aged White Cheddar
*All Natural
*Baked
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*130 Calories per serving
*50% less fat than potato chips
*Kosher

This is one of the flavors that I couldn't wait to try. I love cheese flavored snacks and the Aged white cheddar has a perfect blend of cheese seasonings to tease your taste buds. Be careful, you'll devour the bag before you know it!

Pirate's Booty Barbeque
*All Natural
*Baked
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*130 Calories per serving
*50% less fat than potato chips
*Kosher

Another flavor I enjoy eating is BBQ flavored chips. This BBQ flavored bag of snacks vanished before anyone knew they were gone. How? 3 of us ate this one serving sized bag, lol. The seasonings are great! I'd slightly add a tad more BBQ to these snacks if I were the creator but, otherwise I loved them.

Smart Puffs Real Wisconsin Cheddar
*All Natural
*Baked
*Trans fat & Gluten Free
*Cholesterol Free
*140 Calories per serving
*Kosher

I saved the best for last! These puffs remind me of the major cheese puff brand with the exception of these being a different flavor. This snack beats the major brand hands down. Try them for yourself, I hope you agree with me! If not, my address is .....lol, ok seriously I loved this snack the most.

One added bonus of Pirate Brand snacks would have to be when I turned the bag over to read the ingredients. I couldn't believe that I actually understood everything listed. These snacks are all natural and they are baked, not fried! I think you would also enjoy the pictures and sayings on each bag. Now my son is going around reciting the line "Shiver me timbers", lol.

BUY IT:

Hi Michele!
This is my first visit to your site and I like it! My favorite snack has always been ant on a log! I love peanut better and the ants just make it easier to eat the celery.

If I win a chance to sample the snacks I am most looking forward to trying the Sea Salt and Vinegar flavor.

Thanks!
