Saffron Road White cheddar chickpea crisps: Chips with an irregular texture reminiscent of Popcorners, with muted confetti-colored “splotches” indicative of the vegetables used to flavor it (green for peas, orange for sweet potatoes, and red for lentils). While I liked the sharp cheddar powdered flavoring that coats the chips, the combination of vegetable with cheese is a little odd and doesn’t quite come together. Purchased from Whole Foods. 3.0/5.0

365 Mini cheddar crackers: Surprisingly salty mini cheese crackers from Whole Foods Brand 365. Still, if you’re looking for an organic alternative to Ritz, this may be it. 3.0/5.0

Beanitos White bean Mac n cheese crunch: These corn-alternative snacks have an irregular crunchy texture with a similar size to puffed Cheetos. The Mac n Cheese flavor is just a marketing spin on cheddar (more on an actual cheese puff whose flavor resembles boxed Mac and cheese in a forthcoming review). They have a slightly less neutral taste than regular corn puffs, with an aftertaste that resembles wheat snacks. Not bad, but not particularly memorable. 3.0/5.0

Pirate's Booty Cheddar Blast: Have you ever eaten Pirate's Booty and thought that you'd like it more if only it were *more* cheesy? With 50% more real cheese, the new Cheddar Blast! Pirate's Booty is the exact same rice and corn puffs of the original but has a noticeably more concentrated white cheddar flavor. It reminds me of when you eat half of a box of dried mac and cheese and are unsure how much cheese powder to put on, only to realize you've added too much and should dilute with milk.

G.H. Cretors Chicago Mix popcorn: A sweet and savory popcorn mix that is more sweet than savory. The caramel coating is thick and crispy, but the cheese flavor is comparably lackluster, with a flat flavor profile. The popcorn texture is also not as fluffy as other options – The Chicago mix from TJ's is better, for example. 2.5/5.0
