Sweet & Spicy Rice Cracker Mix

"A box of chocolates is all well and good, but if you ask us, life is much more like a bag of Trader Joe’s Sweet & Spicy Cracker Mix. As in life, this Mix is full of character, complexity, and both sweetness and spice in equal measure. It’s made for us by a supplier in Thailand, who fills each pouch with crispy, crunchy Rice Crackers in a variety of shapes and textures, half of which have been dusted in sugar, while the other half are covered in a spicy paprika-and-chile-powder coating. That means that every handful has a unique ratio of sweet and heat, and every time you snack, it’s going to be a bit unpredictable, delightfully adventurous, and in the end, satisfying, all the same —much like life, we’d say. And indeed, Trader Joe’s Sweet & Spicy Rice Cracker Mix is well suited for any snacking situation that life may throw at you, be it a weekend binge watch of your favorite new show, a game night with friends and family, or even just a random craving for something savory and sweet. We also find that the wide range of textures represented across the traditional Rice Cracker shapes (some are smooth, some are twisty, some are ridged) are especially great at piquing the palate when complemented by a smooth, refreshing beverage. We recommend one of our delicately fruity sparkling water options, or crisp and easy-drinking beer."
