Happy Monday my people!
I am usually a pretty optimistic person and tryy to find the brighter side of things and as much as I don’t like starting the week with a “negative” post I thought this would be a fun one.
I don’t want you guys to make the same snacking mistakes I did and recently I’ve had quite a few fails!
The first and saddest are these Annie’s Crispy Snack Bars. They are supposed to be a “healthier” (read:cleaner) version of the beloved Rice Krispie treats, but alas they are not the same and I am not a fan. These seem almost too sweet and definitely don’t have that same vanilla marshmallow flavor as the other guy…if you have ever had a Rice Krispie treat and loved it-don’t bother with these.
I actually don’t even have these in my house anymore because I took them to work and let everyone else eat them. The Bear Naked Peanut Butter and Honey granola bites…dry as the desert. I could only eat 2 at a time because it took so long to just chew one of these down!
I really enjoyed Vegan Rob’s Cauliflower Puffs so I was certain I would enjoy the Brussels Sprouts Puffs. I wasn’t exactly wrong, but I wasn’t 100% right either. They are enjoyable for a puff, but honestly I’d rather just eat Hippeas than these. I was hoping for a Brussels sprouts flavor and there is zilch. There’s nothing bad about them, but I would not repurchase because there are other puffs that I enjoy eating more…
This next item is technically breakfast, but it could be a snack?! I enjoyed the Kodiak Cakes Pancakes so much I thought I would enjoy the waffles. One-hundo percento wrong! These are dry and lack flavor and I will definitely be finishing the box, but I will never get these again!
I don’t want you guys to worry that I will be throwing all this stuff out because I won’t. I’ll take the Annie’s to work and have my work buddies give them a shot and the puffs and the waffles I’ll finish up myself. I always feel really proud of myself when I buy something I don’t like and still get through it-I think that’s a part of #adulting.
I hope you enjoyed this post and please let me know if you’ve tried any of these items and what you thought?! I would love to hear if you loved them or disliked them or even what snacks have failed you…let’s chat in the comments š
Till next time!
I just got the Kodiak Cake dark chocolate waffles and liked them! Although, I put peanut butter on one and butter & maple syrup on the other! Lol!!!

I feel like chocolate anything must be delicious! Do you feel like it’s dry at all??

It was a little dry, but had a distinct chocolate taste that I loved! The toppings were key!!

Agreed! Melty PB takes away some of that dryness!! Thanks for the chocolate waffle suggestion I may have to try these out!

Phew! I’ve never tried the Annie’s rice krispie treats since they contain dairy but they’ve always looked good to me. I mostly have liked everything from that brand except their fruit snacks lol.
I almost wonder if you got a bad bag of the granolas. I’ve had those before & they were sooo soft & delish!

I completely agree about the Annie’s bars! They have a sickly sweet taste. My kiddo wasn’t a fan either.
