**Updated**Pirate Brands Snacks + Giveaway!

[ 41 ] 01/21/2010 |

**Look down below to see the winner!**

Let me just say this right out of the gate — I love the line of snacks made by Pirate Brands. LOVE. They offer Pirate’s Booty, Original Tings, and Smart Puffs. The snacks are all-natural, gluten-free, and offer certain products that are vegan-friendly as well. Remember puffcorn? Well, Pirate’s Booty has a similar texture to that, only it’s HEALTHY and comes in a variety of flavors, such as:

Aged White Cheddar – Yum! This was my favorite out of all the choices. I have purchased several bags since I first sampled it, and even my children devour these puffs.

BBQ- Blech. Not for me. I hate anything BBQ-tasting.

Veggie- Love it. One of my other top picks. Made with spinach, kale, carrots, and parsley.

New York Pizza- Very tasty!

Sea Salt & Vinegar- Not a fan. Neither were my children.

Pirate Brands also offer Original Tings Crunchy Corn Stix and Smart Puffs Aged Wisconsin Cheddar, which I can only compare to Cheetos, only healthy and without the neon-orange powder that stains everything it touches. Both varieties were delicious.

I love that I can replace some of my children’s favorite junk foods with alternatives from Pirate Brands and don’t have to listen to whining and complaining… they actually enjoy the products as much as I do. Plus, they giggle uncontrollably every time I say BOOTY and it makes me smile.

My local grocery store only offers a limited selection of the snacks (I live in the boonies!), but products are also available for purchase online.

Now it’s time to unleash your inner pirate…. aargh! ‘Tis a treasure chest off goodies coming your way! One lucky winner will win a plethora of Pirate Brands delicious snacks! How to enter: Visit the Pirate Brand website, come back, and tell us which snack puts a twinkle in your eye.

For an additional entry:  @shrinkingjeans has been nominated for a Twitter Shorty Award in the #health category! We are not above shameless plugs, so go vote. Leave a comment telling us you did!

This contest will run through 11:59pm Pacific time on Sunday, January 24th. A winner will be randomly selected and announced the following day! Good luck!

Full disclosure:  I received Pirate Brand snacks to review. No monetary compensation was given. The opinion’s expressed are solely my own.

    I love pirate's booty. We have not had them in awhile but I am wishing I had some right now to snack on. We love the cheese puffs and veggie puffs. We have also had the plain. I think that the New York Pizza sounds good too. My kids also love these. Now I will add them to my shopping list. =)

    Would love to try the Aged White Cheddar – doesn't look like there are ANY stores in my area that sell it. Can't find any in Saskatoon, or Saskatchewan (Canada). Boo :(

  • BrookeF

    sea salt and vinegar sound yum!!!

  • anng

    The White cheddar ones would be a big hit for my dh. The original ones would probably be a great potato chip alternative for my little guy. I would love the Cheddar cheese ones….so bottom line, I need to make a trip to Whole Foods….so I can buy some!

    The white cheddar sounds yummy but so does the sour cream & onion. So choosing between the two I would say Sour Cream & Onion (my favorite flavor of chips. LOL).
