Dear Listmates,
Thanks to all for the great suggestions and feedback re: GF crackers and
snacks. Below is a summary. Happy snacking to all!! Appreciate all
the help! :--) --Debbie
--Try the Blue Diamond Nut Thins - they are very yummy! Also, WASA Corn
Crisps are quite tasty.
--I enjoy the Blue Diamond brand Hazelnut crackers.
--I LOVE the Glutano pretzels (I order from GF pantry)! I also enjoy
the wasa crisp corn crackers (though they are priced very high at the
one market I can find them at).
--There is a brand of cookie, called "Frookies" and they have a few flavors
of GF. Quite good. In one of Bette Haggeman's books (I forget which one)
there is a recipie for GF granola bars. It makes a batch and is quite
addictive. If you have a dehydrator then you can make a batch of beef jerky,
the oven works fine also.
--Blue Diamond Nut Thins? Delicious, but unforunately can't get them in all
the stores I order mine thru a catalog. 1 - 800 - 445-3957. They come in
almond, pecan and hazelnut and are of course GF.
--I have Rice Crisps, made in Taiwan by I Lan Foods Industrial Ltd
I find them in Canada as well in the USA in the ethnic alley.
--I am particularly fond of Kame crackers, when I can find them. (And when I
do, I usually buy a case -- Sesame is my favorite). If I can't get to the
specialty store, 30+ miles away, I like Sesmark. There has been some
questioning threads about Sesmark GF status; however, but I am very sensitive
and have had no adverse reactions to them, so I rely on them in a pinch.
--I really, really like the EnerG pretzels. I also use the
EnerG crackers. They aren't quite like saltines but they are the best
crackers I have tried so far.
-- Ener-G crackers ...like saltines. Well, they do have the same initial
flavor -- but also a slight after taste that saltines don't have. However,
they are close enough for me.
--Energ bread sticks -I cannot recommend them as they were so hard I
could not bite into them (has some teeth problems)
--I got my last pizza crust mix from "Gifts of Nature:" -----
http://www.glutenfreemall.com
--"Crunch Master" rice crackers (available at many Costco stores or directly
through the distributor Unified Products, 20001 So. Western Ave., Torrance,
CA 90501) have been a staple snack item in our house for many months.
(others noted but no longer could get at Costco)
--My son really likes the Gluten Free Pantry's crackers, Glutano is the
brand. They're expensive, but well worth it. They're buttery, like a club
cracker, and hold up well for cheese spread.
--I would like to suggest the nut crackers that Golden Walnut puts out. They
have three kinds, pecan, hazelnut, and almond. I buy the pecan crackers by
the case and they go fast. They are my favorite cracker. Here is the
address and tel. #.

A case has 12 boxes and cost $32.60 They will send you a sample of each

--The crackers from Ener-g foods are ok--not exceptionaly good. The
prezells are vey good and so are the ones from Glutano. (several
similar posts)
--Dietary Specialties crackers are WONDERFUL. The pretzels are great,
too. (several posts)
--Nature's Highlights has some Rice Sticks--like a crisp breadstick.
Salty ones are pretty good when you crave salt! Crunchy
--I happen to REALLY like the EnerG crackers and pretzels. I think the
Ener-G Foods crackers are wonderful. They taste to me much the same a the
old saltines I had before diagnosis. Of course, I hadn't had any crackers
for 25 years. They also have some other crackers that are good, being in
plain, garlic, and, I think, sesame. Bette Hagman's new book contains great
cracker recipes. I have no financial connection to either.
