WHAT: Free for All Kitchen Gluten Free Brownie Thins
STATS: One serving (five chips) contains 120 calories and 5 fat, 20 carbohydrate, 2 fiber and 1 protein gram(s). More information available at partnerscrackers.com or by emailing orderdesk@partnerscrackers.com.
THE SKINNY: We like our brownies thick, chewy and rich.
So initially we weren’t so sure about these Free for All Brownie Thins that are crispy and gluten-free. (Main ingredients: cassava flour, cane sugar, buttermilk).
But the press samples (packaged in 4-ounce bags; also available in 1-ounce bags) sent to us had a nice deep cocoa flavor, even if the appearance and texture were more crackerlike.
If we were avoiding gluten, we’d seek them out. But for our calories, we’d prefer, say, the more brownielike 90-calorie Fiber One brownies.
