No longer does your snack have to satisfy just one craving. According to Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery Magazine (www.snackandbakery.com), manufacturers have embraced producing foods with a sweet side, yet have the consistency of a cracker more than ever before. Foods like Nabisco’s Cookies & Crackers Fun Shapes, which include Honey Maid Angry Bird Honey Grahams, and Kashi’s Honey Sesame Crackers are blurring the lines between what is a cookie and what is a cracker.

However, sometimes it’s not the snack or cracker itself that crosses the crunchy line—it may be the ingredients. Mixes like honey, pomegranate and combinations like blood orange and ginger spice are taking place as key crossover varieties.

Angela Hubert, owner of High Performance Muffins of Boonton, N.J., goes a step further in the “snack” category, designing more nutritious items that can stand alone as a snack or act as a quick meal. Hubert’s muffins are made with gluten-free rolled oats and are naturally sweetened with honey. And, to combine flavors even further, the muffins are available in vanilla, chocolate, vanilla pumpkin spice, chocolate banana and vanilla banana.
