Crystal Farms Cheese Nibblers #Spon

We were excited when we were given the opportunity to try Crystal Farms Cheese Nibblers.  Both our families are into cheese snacks and we’re always looking for snacks we can take on the go.

Nibblers come in 1.5-ounce stand-up bags and they are available in four flavors:  Smoky BBQ  Cheddar, Habanero Pepper Jack, Chipotle Pepper Cheddar, and Sour Cream & Onion Monterey Jack.  Each of the conveniently-packaged single-serve bags contain 9-10 grams of protein, so they’re an excellent option for giving you the energy you need while snacking on the go.

Unfortunately we realized that we have no photos of our families eating these snacks because both of us literally ate them on the go.  Trust us though, we ate them!  Here’s our individual flavor reviews:

• Smokey BBQ:
  • Lindsi’s Family–Not a huge fan. Why? We’re not BBQ flavored people. I bet there are tons of people out there who would love these though!
  • Jamie’s Family–By far the family favorite.  We love BBQ.  We fought over who got to eat these bags.
• Sour Cream and Onion:
  • Lindsi’s Family–While this was my family’s least favorite flavor I will admit they still were gone in a matter of days. These little cheese Nibblers tasted like you were eating a baked potato with sour cream and onions. Yum!
  • Jamie’s Family–Jamie’s personal favorite but overall the family least favorite.  The flavor in these little Nibblers was quite strong and I think it overwhelmed my girls.
• Habanero:
  • Lindsi’s Family–My personal favorite! I love spicy food as much as my daughter. I thought I’d give these a try on a loaded baked potato and wow was it delicious!
  • Jamie’s Family–Spicy but addicting!  Once I got past the spice (I’m not a spicy person) I couldn’t stop eating them.  Same with my husband.  He was surprised how much he liked them despite the spice.  A little too much for my girls though.
• Chipotle Pepper:
  • Lindsi’s Family–My 5-year-old daughters favorite! Seriously she is a spicy, peppery, hot fan. I’ve never known a little kid to like spicy food like she does. She literally was fighting daddy over the bag.
  • Jamie’s Family–Surprisingly for not being a spicy, peppery family, my girls liked this flavor!  Though they couldn’t finish the bag, they definitely went back for more later.

Overall thoughts:

• Lindsi and Jamie’s families have completely different tastes when it comes to food.
• Perfect size and amount for on the go snacking.
• Bold flavor in all of them.  Some might be too much for kids but adults will love them.
• Great way to sneak in some protein.
• We’ll definitely be putting these in the kids’ lunch boxes and/or toting them around for after school snacks.
