They deserve a great organic bun.”

However, Snaps are bursting with flavors specific for snacking. For example, Umami is a tsunami of deliciousness, including savory, sweet and spicy notes. We’re confident consumers will love Snaps by the handful whether at tailgates, barbecues or just to fulfill everyday cravings for something light, crispy and delicious.”
