Kid Snack Review: “Not exactly s’mores flavored, but yummy”

Review written by: Snackin’ Mom

Drizzilicious S’mores Bites was another brand-new snack for the Snackin’ Family. When I brought them home from the grocery store, it was the first time I’d ever even seen them. They were snatched from the chips aisle and sat on our kitchen island for a week, mostly unnoticed. Finally, without saying anything about them to the Snackin’ Family kids, I filled up two small containers with Drizzilicious S’mores Bites and put them into the lunch boxes.

What Are Drizzilicious S’mores Bites?

Drizzilicious calls itself “the irresistible better-for-you snack” and its line of “bites” are promoted as “rice cakes reimagined.” Essentially, they’re really small, really thin rice cakes (about one inch in diameter) that are drizzled with flavor. In the case of the Drizzilicious S’mores Bites, that flavor is (of course) s’mores. According to the ingredients, the drizzle is a combination of “flavored coating” and seasoning.

What Do Drizzilicious S’mores Bites Taste Like?

Drizzilicious S’mores Bites taste like rice cakes with chocolate drizzled on them. Snackin’ Sister said they sort of taste like popcorn too, which makes sense because she has more familiarity with popcorn than rice cakes (and the rice cake has corn as the second ingredient).

Although the Drizzilicous S’mores Bites bag says “now with even more marshmallow flavor,” the graham and marshmallow flavors were very faint. If we hadn’t known they were there, I don’t think we would have tasted anything but chocolate.

Does the Snackin’ Family Like Drizzilicious S’mores Bites?

We loved the Drizzilicous S’mores Bites and finished the entire bag in just one day. When Snackin’ Brother came home from school, he told me he didn’t like them. But when we started snacking on them later that day, he ate just as many as everyone else. All four members of the Snackin’ Family participated in devouring this bag.

Regular-sized rice cakes can feel like a lot to get through, even when they have great toppings. Drizzilicious S’mores Bites are small and thin, making them enjoyable to pop into your mouth over and over again.

From a nutrition perspective, I’m pleased with what Drizzilicious S’mores Bites offers. They’re a delicious snack that is fairly low in calories, fat, sodium and carbohydrates. They’re also vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kosher.

Although the bag promotes the inclusion of flax, quinoa and chia, there is not enough of these “healthy” ingredients to show up in the nutrition panel. A serving of Drizzilicous S’mores Bites offers just one gram of protein, 0.2 mg of iron and 20mg of potassium. No vitamins are listed on the nutrition panel.

Should You Buy Drizzilicious S’mores Bites?

If you’re looking for a tasty snack that is healthy enough, the Snackin’ Family recommends giving Drizzilicious S’mores Bites a try. They’re delicious. They’re very snackable. And a serving size is meaningful (21 bites) yet still low on calories, fat, sodium and carbohydrates (at least compared to many other packaged snacks that kids enjoy).
