FAQ
Are these a good source of protein?
They provide a moderate amount of plant-based protein (8.33g per 100g) from the peanut butter filling, making them a more protein-rich snack than plain crackers or cookies.
Why are they called 'reduced fat'?
The fat content is lower than in traditional peanut butter cracker sandwiches, often achieved by using a peanut butter filling with added sugars or other fillers instead of pure peanut butter.
Can I eat these if I'm watching my sugar intake?
With 11.11g of sugar per 100g, they are a sweetened snack. It's best to enjoy them in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple if you're monitoring sugar.
