Ohhhh Snack! (Said like: Ohhhh Snap!)

I have a new favorite snack.  It's this Krave jerky stuff.  I tried it for the first time the other day, and I'm hooked.  I want some RIGHT NOW actually, but I'm about to go to bed and I already brushed my teeth so I probably shouldn't.  But, I feel so strongly about it, I feel compelled to blog about it.  I mean, ok so it's just jerky, yes, but I just love it.  I mean, I love snacks in general, and I have lots of other snacks that I enjoy (But that's a blog topic for another day), but this one just does it for me at the moment.

Their website is: https://www.kravejerky.com

There's lots of information about their products on the site.  So far, I've only tried the one kind, the black cherry barbecue pork jerky, but I liked it a TON.

I've always been into jerky on and off over the years.  It all started when I was a youngin' at summer sleep away camp in Maine.  We used to go once a week to this little store down the road and we'd be each given five dollars or something like that to buy anything our hearts desired (within our five dollar budget of course).  So there I was trying to decide between some beef jerky and sunflower seeds and instead, I decided to go with the pack of nerds because we were running out of time and they started to tell us that the van would be leaving soon to go back to camp and we'd need to decide or we weren't going to get anything.  Nerds and bubble tape.  But eventually I did buy the jerky, it was horrible.  So the next time I bought sun flower seeds, and some big league chew.  Then, a few weeks later, I began to crave that horrible salty sweetness of the jerky.

They were out.  Instead I bought Slim Jims, which were even worse, and some Pringles (which were awesome).  Fortunately one of my bunkmates family members sent a care package containing some awesome jerky.  I was hooked.  I soon learned that there were different types and not just the really cheap stuff at the little lakeside convenience store down the road from the camp.  Then I completely forgot about jerky for a LONG time until college.  Every now and then I'd buy it, but it really started to feel as though it was just SUPER unhealthy for me to be eating.

Fast forward to the other day when I found this Krave jerky at Wegmans.  Now, I know it's still not the same as eating a basket full of fruit or a salad stacked high to the ceiling with vegetables, but hey, it's not as bad as the ordinary stuff it seems.

And it tastes really good!

According to the website there are seven other flavors!  So now I'm going to have to try all of those other delicious flavors as well.  Maybe next time I'll blog about my love of honey roasted cashews, or any of the various other mixed nuts.  In the mean time, if you see it in the store and you like jerky, pick up some Krave.  You won't be disappointed.
