Pirate's Booty - Healthy Popcorn Snacks

All natural, gluten-, trans fat-, and cholesterol-free, baked rice and corn puffs. Snack time. Pirate’s booty. Yum! I could stop there, but I won’t. If you’re not familiar with Pirate’s Booty snacks, then you’re probably not a mom. If you’re a mom who is not familiar with it then, well, I’m sorry.

I’m the type of mom who strives as much as I can to feed my daughters healthy foods. I’m no fanatic, though, so the occasional drive-through does occur, but we don’t make a habit of it. I always try to give my kids healthy snacks as well as meals and Pirate’s Booty has become a staple in our house. If there’s any sort of popcorn or cheese puff type of snack that I’ll buy regularly for my pantry, it’s Pirate’s Booty.

Well, some in some industry circles it is considered hull-less popcorn. It is made from rice and corn meal that is extruded and the end result is a puff or rice and corn. All of the products are whole grain, too, as they contain bran, germ, and endosperm and they aren’t refined. Additionally, all of the products are even kosher.

The fun doesn’t end with the whimsical packaging; what’s inside is also fun to eat. 

• Aged White Cheddar – These have real aged white cheddar cheese on puffed rice and corn.  I must admit, this one is my personal favorite.  It has just the right amount of cheesiness and crunch, but if left in your mouth, the puffs just melt away.  That last attribute makes these a great snack for toddlers.  My daughter started eating these probably at around ten months old.
• Veggie – You’d never know that these puffed rice and corn snacks also have a medley of vegetables in them like spinach, kale, carrots, and parsley.  You can feel good about giving your kids a snack like this.  They’ll love it as long as you don’t tell them that it has all those veggies in it!
• Barbeque – These have a smoky, sweet, honey barbeque flavor on the baked rice and corn puffs.
• Salt & Vinegar – Blended with aged balsamic vinegar and coarse sea salt, these baked rice and corn puffs make for some yummy munchin’!
• Sour Cream & Onion – Made from puffed rice and corn, blended with zesty onion and sour cream.  These will give you favorite sour cream and onion potato chips a run for their money.
• New York Pizza - Real mozzarella cheese and Italian spices give the delicious pizza flavor to these baked rice and corn puffs.
