Are you looking for a twist to your usual snack routine? Just in time for Spring, it’s out with the old and in with the new. Whether you are someone who loves to snack or if you’re just looking to add some flair to your soups or salads, you’re in luck! 

Twistos Baked Snack Bites, new from Frito Lay, a brand you love,, comes a baked snack inspired by popular cheeses and appetizers in three flavors: Parmesan & Garlic, Asiago and Bruschetta.

Twistos are a baked snack- so they are healthier for you. The best way I can describe them is to say they are like a light crouton- all the crunch, but melt in your mouth goodness like a good cracker, with some great flavor all throughout! They have been available in other countries (like Canada), but are new to the US market! 

We recently got to test out all 3 flavors, and they had one thing in common- we got addicted to them! Seriously addicted! How much?

This was typical- whenever a bag was open, there was a hand sneaking some of the snacks for themselves! We took a bag of the Asiago flavor on Miss Grace's field trip this past week, and they were the star of the picnic lunch as pretty much ALL the girls in her class came over and took a handful, declaring them "super good", "way good", "awesome good" and "super duper good". Who says 7 year olds can't come up with adjectives? LOL Add some apples and grapes, and their lunches pretty much got ignored for our picnic foods! You gotta love it!

The adults preferred the Parmesan & Garlic and Bruschetta flavors- as they are more sophisticated and pack a pretty good flavor punch. They are super for dips like a hot Caprese or Pepper dip!

Cookbook author, food and lifestyle writer and former personal chef to the stars Gaby Dalkin has come up with some great recipes for and using these new great snackers, Twistos."As a chef and recipe creator, I'm constantly looking for new, unique experiences, especially when it comes to snacking," said Dalkin. "Twistos Baked Snack Bites are the perfect way to add a fun twist to your ordinary routine. Whether you like to dip, pop or munch, the snacking possibilities are endless."

All the recipes above can be found on the Twistos' Facebook page, and I've got the 2 dip recipes for you today. They are very tasty and easy to make! And keep reading for an extra special giveaway from twistos too!
