Crunchy snacks are the bagged nibbles that sit next to chips on the shelf: puffed, baked or fried bites made for eating by the handful. They are made from corn, wheat, rice or potato, shaped into puffs, rings, sticks, crackers or twists, and seasoned with anything from cheese to caramel.
The kinds here are cheese puffs, crackers including Japanese rice crackers, popcorn, pretzels, onion rings, packaged potato sticks under fries, and party mixes that blend several of them. Chips have a page of their own: chips.
Most of them are made from wheat or corn and seasoned with powders that often contain milk, so the ingredient list of each review is worth a look.
