What You Should Know

You'd find these in the snack aisle, lunchbox stash, or tossed into a road-trip bag — a miniature, shelf-stable take on campfire s'mores. They give a nostalgic, indulgent vibe while being marketed as a lighter snack thanks to added quinoa and seeds; the long list of refined flours, sugars, oils and "natural flavors" signals ultra-processed manufacturing that yields an airy, crisp texture and extended shelf life.
