SonomaCrisps says: Natural and Baked Slowly Cooked Crunchy Apple

Abi says: I’m a sucker for these baked fruit snacks. They’re stupidly expensive and yet I cannot stop eating them. I could get an ounce of caviar for less than this! Okay, maybe not an ounce of caviar, but certainly an ounce of other things.

Like chocolate.

Each crisp is like an old, under-developed french fry. You know – the ones that you find under the car seat when you decide to undertake that once-yearly vehicle vacuuming session. Yes, these fries crisps aren’t rock-hard and gross. They’re dry and crunchy, but not scary-dry, suck-all-the-spit-from-your-mouth dry like the . The cinnamon adds a bit of spice without overpowering the sweetness of the apple. If you’re rich and you really, really want to eat a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, but you’re also on a diet, give these crispy apple straws a try.

McDonalds says: A bag of delicious sliced and peeled apples.

Abi says: Yeah, yeah, we’re featuring a refrigerated item from McDonalds. But you know what? Apple slices rock. Yeah, yeah, they aren’t as good as a perfectly crisp Gala or Jonagold, but when you’re a mile from a grocery store and you’ve got a 30 minute lunch break, those fancy schmancy apples will have to wait. And yeah, yeah this snack is a bit expensive. But they’re still fabulous.

Why are these apple slices awesome? First, they do not require washing. Second, you won’t end up with apple skin stuck between your teeth. Third, they are somewhat good for you.

Okay, maybe they aren’t really good for you at all. A glance at the nutrition information conveys that the only thing in this bag is a crunchy combination of carbs and sugar. What it doesn’t tell you is that two (Yes, two) bags of apple slices are the ideal fry-eating deterrent. Sure, you could add caramel and call it a dessert, but I prefer to think of these guys as the perfect way to de-guilt a 6 piece box of Chicken Nuggets.
