Horizon cheddar snack crackers: I've always had a soft spot for cheese crackers in cute shapes, but that doesn't mean I'm not discerning in comparing the several options on the market. Goldfish have long gone downhill, with Pepperidge Farm substantially increasing the sodium content and with an unacceptably high risk of getting a burnt batch. Next best are Annie's cheddar bunnies, which are perhaps the crunchiest of the bunch but have good cheddar flavor and an ideal level of salt. Slightly better is Trader Joe's cheddar rockets, which have the tangiest cheddar flavor and are texturally more airy. These new cow-shaped crackers from Horizon just may be the best for a few reasons. The cheddar flavor is excellent; mild, but distinct. The cow-shaped crackers are larger and thus more substantial than cheddar bunnies - they are slightly more dense than the cheddar rockets. Seasoning is spot on, and the cow shape is the cutest of the competition, an important factor for companies vying for kids' attention. Finally, the snack is wholesome: It has no artificial colors or flavors, is made with organic wheat and cheese, and has a substantive amount of calcium per serving (10%). Very impressed and would recommend without hesitation. 4.5/5.0
