New York Style Bagel Chips Review, Giveaway & Sweepstakes Announcement!

Ahhh summer. I love the weather, the picnics, the fun in the water and most of all, I LOVE summer foods! It seems like there are endless options when it comes to snacking but it seems like most of the foods are so unhealthy. While I love to snack, I hate the calories and fat that normally come with snacks so I am usually on the lookout for healthier options. My children also love to snack and I am constantly giving them little tidbits of food throughout the day. Like many parents, I am also disappointed that the foods that taste good to them are often the foods that I want to avoid. The snacks that are produced for kids these days are just plain unhealthy. Yes, there may be a bit of nutritional value to them but nine times out of ten, our children consume loads of junk food. 

Today, I am going to introduce you to a snack that will be sure to please not only yourself, but also your family. New York Style is a company that makes Bagel Chips and Bagel Crisps...a baked treat that is crunchy, salty and truly satisfying. Before I continue, here is a bit more about the New York Style company...

In 1978, Jim Burns & Gary Ricker asked themselves a question that would forever change their lives – why not serve gourmet cheese samples on toasted bagel slices instead of crackers? Little did they know the answer to this question would change the way New York City and the rest of the world snacked. Soon, customers were not only buying gourmet cheese, but also the toasted bagel slices – by the deli bagfuls! And there you have it, Bagel Crisps® (and their iconic little bag that we all know and love) were born. And the rest of the story…well, let's just say it's history.

I have heard of New York Style before and I think I have tried them but it has been awhile. Tasting new snacks is always fun and because I have done so many snack reviews, it is hard to decide exactly what my favorite snack is! :) I think after conducting this review I have a new favorite...these chips are delightfully amazing!!

So, for this review I was sent a nice box of New York Style Bagel Chips and Bagel Crisps. I was sent Garlic and Sea Salt Bagel Crisps, as well as BBQ, Cheddar, Garlic and Sea Salt Bagel Chips.

The first bag that I opened was the New York Style Bagel Crisps in Sea Salt flavor. I love the taste of sea salt and because I loved the idea that these crisps are baked and not fried, I was excited to try them out. The flavor is so fantastic. These crisps are super crunchy and very satisfying. It is the type of snack that you can put out in a small dish on the counter and grab a few crisps as you walk by. (I did that yesterday...as did my children.) You can also use these for dipping, adding to salads and also for an easy appetizer. Because they come in different flavors, you definitely have options.

Next, I tried the New York Style Bagel Chips in the BBQ flavor. I am a fan of barbecue flavored chips and so I was really interested to see how these tasted. I was really impressed with the bold and tangy taste of these little bagel chips. They are sooo cute! My children loved them as well. The best part was that they were not too spicy and therefore they did not bother my breastfed 15 week old. YAAAY!!! Finally, a BBQ chip that I can actually enjoy without worrying about my baby. :)

To purchase these and other New York Style snacks you can visit their website and find a store near you. Or, you can buy them online! They retail for about $3.50 per bag (which is not bad at all...they put alot in a bag!).

I would also love to take this opportunity to tell you about the exciting New York Style Bagel Snack Star Sweepstakes that is going on right now! From now until September 2, 2012, you can enter the sweepstakes by visiting New York Style's Facebook page. Here are more details...
