So i was grocery shopping a few months ago and was trying to keep my selections whole grain, healthy and low calorie (very hard to do when you have an appettite of a 300 lb lumberjack). I was looking for a healthy crunchy snack alternative to my usual Peppridge Farm cookies and salty corn chips and stumbled upon these yummy Almondina cookies. What sold me was the claim on the wrapping that stated they had no added salt,fat or cholesterol and that they were very low calorie. I liked that i could pronounce and recognize all the ingredients too, which made sense since they also claimed to be all natural as well. So i threw a bag of them in my basket and hessitantly tossed out the jalapeno cheetos. When i got home i broke open the bag of Almondinas with the expectation that they would be bland,"healthy tasting" and well boring.But it was the sacrifice i would have to make i thought, to keep my body looking and feeling great and to keep that Mexican belly im prone to from growing.Well to my amazement they werent bland or tasteless and in fact they were kind of yummy and the best thing was that it satisfied the all time annoying and sometimes detrimental "crunch crave"!! After two cookies i had two more and then two more and sadly enough two more!It was then that i realized that these cookies had to be infused with crack cocaine or something. Aha!!That was the secret ingredient, crack cocaine!! How could something that didnt have much sugar,no chocolate and no bacon be soooo addicting???Well i went online and realized i wasnt alone!!Apparently these cookies/biscuits have received rave reviews from other foodies and is a four time NASFT award winner.NASFT is a not-for-profit business trade association established in 1952 to foster trade, commerce and interest in the specialty food industry.They give out Sofi awards each year to only the most outstanding specialty foods. Almondina suprisingly has ten different type of cookie flavors according to there website, like Choconut and Cinnaroma.The one that i have developed an addiction to are the Original Almondinas which are there #1 seller and are made from Grandma Dinas' "secret recipe".
