Sometimes in journalism we talk about puff pieces ~ but this one is the good kind ~ a piece about, well, PUFFS! For all of us snackers out there, Pirate’s Booty is a delicious all-natural (wait, stay with me!) snack made from puffed rice and corn (OK, it has to be said ~ they’re a real “treasure!)” ~ all the flavors are delicious (my fave is one of the originals, Aged White Cheddar ~ that is about ten times yummier than regular cheese puffs, plus you don’t have orange hands after you’re don’t enjoying a bagful!): Bermuda Onion, Sea Salt & Vinegar, Veggie, and Barbeque. Try their “cousins,” too, the Smart Puffs ~ all natural baked corn puffs made with real Wisconsin Cheddar.
Seriously, you’ve got to try these snacks ~ and wait, you haven’t heard the best part ~ each bag is only 130 calories and contains no gluten or trans fat. Well, hang on, I take that back ~ the best part is the taste (and lack of scary orange powder!) ~ try a handful and you’ll forget all about greasy chips. Now, somewhere in here there’s a joke about Johnny Depp, booty, and yummy puffy things, but I’ll leave that to your imagination! Just go out and get some Pirate’s Booty ~ it’s available at Shaw’s, Price Chopper. Stop & Shop, and Big Y and is aaaaaaaargh – uably (sorry, couldn’t resist) the tastiest low-cal snack ever!
