Rosemary Raisin Pecan Raincoast Crisps
Scott’s parents are moving to Canada in about two months, so his mom went over to get started at her new job for two weeks at the beginning of the year. She brought all sorts of presents back, including a tin of Raincoast Crisps. And holy mother of snackyfood, they are REALLY good.
I’m a big fan of healthy snacks. Mostly because I’m pretty much constantly eating so I can appreciate a snack food that’s guilt free on some level. Happily, there are no chemicals in the ingredient list. They don’t even LOOK bad for you. In fact, they look like someone made some homemade brown wholegrain-type bread with loads of seeds and nuts running through, sliced it superthin, and baked it til it was crispy. They don’t even look mass-produced!
My tin had the original crisps, which are just nutty and grainy, and the rosemary raisin pecan crisps, which are like the original ones plus rosemary, raisin, and pecan. The latter were so good that I’m already scheming a muffin recipe based on them. In fact, I’m thinking I might try the rosemary raisin combo in other places as well. With meat, perhaps lamb?
I’ll also be testing the recipe for artichoke tapinade that came inside the tin. Too bad I won’t have any of the crisps left to spread it on. (They were gone in about 3 days. Would have been gone faster if I didn’t keep reminding myself that I couldn’t get anymore.)
Sadly, it looks like there’s pretty much no way to get these crisps outside of Canada. That means two things: I know what I’m asking Scott’s parents for for Christmas, and I have another thing to add to the list of reasons to go to Canada.
