The products we’ve been addicted to lately include two crackers (Z Crackers’ (Garlic & Basil), and Snack Factory’s Pretzel Crisps (Everything)), one Italian Soda (San Pellegrino’s Aranciata Rossa (Blood Orange)), some peanuts (Feridies’ Virginia Peanuts (Red Skin)), and a cookie mix (Cobblestone Kitchens’ Gingerbread Cookie Mix).

Z Crackers are from Brooklyn and are handcut. They have a good texture and go well with cheese. Several varieties of them are sold at Arrowine. We tried the Garlic & Basil flavored crackers; next time we will probably purchase the Cayenne & Cumin variety, since it sounded good as well.

Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps are thin crunchy pretzels/crackers but have a bagel topping (everything). They are supposed to be good with cheese, but we just eat them straight out of the bag. World Market carries several varieties of this snack.

You can find San Pellegrino‘s Aranciata Rossa everywhere (including Supermarkets). All the flavors are good, but we have been leaning towards the Aranciata Rossa (Blood Orange) lately.

The Feridies peanuts are yummy (salty, crunchy, and delicious). A variety of Feridies‘ products are sold at Arrowine, including the cashews.

Finding this particular Cobblestone Kitchens product, the Gingerbread Cookie Mix, is tricky. We have only found it at TJ Maxx, and have not been able to find it online. You can, however,  find their gingerbread house mix online. The cookie mix is nice because you roll it out with your hands, and because the icing mix is included as well. The cookies and frosting are very tasty. We don’t own a rolling pin, so we used a wine bottle covered in plastic wrap to roll the cookies out.
