Low cal. Great flavor, great value

These were the best snacks I've ever had.

I really wanted to like it but it doesn’t taste good

These puffed snacks from Pipcorn are a yummy healthier alternative, since it's baked and contains less fat content. I tried all three flavors and I'm completely sold. Well 2 of the 3 flavors anyway, since cinnamon sugar isn't really my jam but I can still snack on it. The cinnamon sugar twists taste pretty much like churros and look like them too because they are the "twists". They aren't as flavorful as the other two flavors contained in this pack. It only contains 4g of sugar and isn't overly sweet like real churros which is absolutely fine by me. As someone who is used to the salty flavor profile, this is an interesting blend of slightly savory and mildly sweet for a bag of munchies.Both the cheeseballs and the honey bbq were my favorites to snack on. The cheese balls are little sized but packs a very cheesy and strong cheese flavor which I thought was very impressive for its size. The honey bbq sauce has the right mix of tangy and sweet, goes well with the twist texture. It's very similar to the frito bbq twists, only the Pipcorn ones are puffed corn snacks making it very light/airy and not as crunchy. The bag design looks high quality and appeals to me and I'm happy to report that the snacks taste just as good as they look.

My favorite out of the 3 are the cheddar cheese balls! They're cheesy little guys, very cheesy and salty. The puffs are all a little different in size and have a good puff and crunch to them.The honey bbq twists are surprisingly stronger than I thought after tasting the cinnamon. Perfect amount of spice and mix between bbq and honey.The cinnamon sticks were ok, I taste too much of the corn mixture instead of cinnamon. When I think of cinnamon twists I think of the ones from taco bell or the Mexican ones from the store, the cinnamon is there but you will taste a bit more of the corn than usual.They're all puffy and have good crunch to them. I DONT like that the bags are a decent size but you're actually only getting 1oz, and the bags aren't aired up so theres no excuse for the bags to be half and half than less full. Save the plastic, fill it up or shrink the bags. All of mine came with whole pieces though, no breakage too much out of the bags I had so far.

I've tried some heirloom snacks previously and liked a few of them. These were all new flavors to me so I was excited to try them. They all unfortunately had one major thing in common. Salt.I think, barring the salt levels, these have decent flavors. The texture of the snacks are really nice and crunchy. The problem is that the salt is overwhelming to me. Everyone in my home that tried them had the same comment, "So salty!". I don't mind salty snacks but these were too much. Even the cinnamon twists were extra salty. This was a huge bummer for us because the texture and flavor of the twists was great outside of that. Out of the three those were probably my favorite. The honey bbq were a little less overwhelmed with salt and have been slowly eaten up but the rest are just sitting. The cheese balls were actually bad enough that no one has finished a whole bag yet.Then there's my other main issue, the cost. I am a big believer in determining value by oz because it's the clearest way to see how much you're paying for packaging. On here this variety pack is being sold for 40.99 for 24 1oz packs (at the time of review), making it 1.70 per oz. My local sprouts happens to carry this brand, both the larger bags and the smaller bags. They're on sale at the moment but assuming they weren't, the larger bags are 4.99 for 4.5oz making them 1.10 per bag. To be fair to the brand, the smaller bags also being sold at Sprouts is 1.69 for the 1oz bag, but again my point is that per oz these smaller bags are much more expensive. So to me buying the larger bags and parsing them out is worth it.Overall I don't think these snacks are for us. If the salt levels were a little better they'd be a real win but for now it's not something we would purchase in the future.

So you can definitely tell the difference between this heirloom corn vs regular corn taste. Almost more of an earthy undertone as the base flavor profile, really makes for such a unique flavoring along with the flavors you normally expect.The cheddar cheese is savory and natural tasting, the cinnaman twists are as you'd expect, but with the added undertone from the heirloom corn, made these a standout for me and have been my favorite of the 3. The honey BBQ was a lot more tame than I thought, which is a huge plus for me since I'm not a fan of either on their own, but the flavor here was well balanced and has a slight spice flavor that comes through well.Texture has a nice light crunch and is super satisfying, not heavy feeling to eat, you don't feel bad eating these at all afterwards. The bags are a little unnecessarily big, especially when you get to the bottom of the bag and have to reach so far, considering these are each 1 serving.

Heirloom Puffed Snacks Variety Pack by Pipcorn is delicious! You get 24 1oz bags in the flavors of (8) Cheddar Cheese Balls, (8) Honey BBQ Twists and (8) Cinnamon Sugar Twists.*The Honey Barbecue flavor is very present; you can taste the sweetness of the honey and the bit of spice in the barbecue. It isn't too hot but definitely has an aftertaste of spice.*The Cheddar Cheese Balls are perfectly cheesy; the cheese flavor is mild but very tasty.*The Cinnamon Sugar Twists are a great dessert type snack. These have a taste of cinnamon with a nice sweetness. They remind me of a churro or the twist from taco bell only these are fresher and crispier.All three of these treats are fresh, crunchy and crispy. They each have great flavor with the flavors being very present. They are a healthier snack having less fat, less calories and Gluten Free.I and the kids highly recommend these snacks! We love them all.
