Snack Review and Giveaway: John Wm. Macy's Cheesesticks, CheeseCrisps and SweetSticks

John Wm. Macy's makes all natural CheeseSticks, CheeseCrisps and SweetSticks. I got to try all of three of these snacks in a variety of flavors! Both the CheeseSticks and the CheeseCrisps carry powerful cheese flavors while the SweetSticks are a sweet and flavorful dessert. Even better, they're all made with real ingredients, not chemically crafted flavorings.
They can even be used in a load of different recipes found here.

The Texture
The CheeseSticks and SweetSticks are made up of crunchy sourdough layers twisted into thick, churro-style sticks and twice-baked. The CheeseCrisps are crunchy little squares filled with cheesy flavors and then twice-baked.

The Flavor
 
Original Cheddar CheeseSticks
These have a very refined cheddar flavor. I was expecting it to taste like a cheese cracker but the flavor is much more gourmet. I tried these with a couple of different dips (spinach, cheese, buffalo) and they taste great! The texture+flavor make them a perfect trade in for greasy chips.

 Melting Parmesan CheeseSticks
I really don't like Parmesan but surprisingly, I enjoyed these! The flavor is a little softer than the flavor on the Original Cheddar but there's a wonderful richness that comes with the delicate parmesan flavoring. Believe it or not, I preferred these to the cheddar.

Cheddar and Asiago CheeseCrisps
The Cheddar and Asiago CheeseCrisps are packed with cheddar flavor and just a hint of asiago. The asiago adds a real flavor punch to the regular cheddar flavor.


Sesame Gruyere CheeseCrisps
These crisps carry a delectable nutty flavor thanks to the gruyere and sesame seeds. I love to use these as dippers as well because the nuttiness adds a bit of flavor without clashing with the flavors in dips.

Java Cinnamon SweetSticks

Do you see the color on these? They're packed with delicious, sweet cinnamon spice and I had a hard time stopping with just one. Both these and the Bourbon Vanilla SweetSticks are my favorite of all of the products. These make a great dessert and they actually not too bad for you with only 6g Sugar for 2 1/2 sticks!

Bourbon Vanilla SweetSticks
I wasn't expecting these to become a favorite of mine but they have! The vanilla flavor is so prominent and again, it's real vanilla which makes them taste that much better! These aren't too sweet, letting the vanilla flavor shine through.


Overall
There's not a single stick or crisp that was lacking in flavor. The CheeseCrisps and sticks are bound to be a cheese lovers dream. The SweetSticks make a delicious, crunchy dessert or snack. There's an array of flavors so there's something for everyone.
