Drizzilicious

When most people think of tasty snack foods, rice cakes are likely not at the top of the list.  Sure, I like a rice cake smothered in peanut butter and chocolate chips from time to time, but generally, they seem to be more of a diet culture thing.  Drizzlilicious aims to change that, sorta. 
"Drizzilicious; Mini Rice Cakes Reimagined."

Ok, but what does this mean?  It means mini rice cakes, known as "bites", that have some kind of sweet drizzle on top (hence, the product name).  They come in 6 sweet flavors: S'mores, Birthday Cake, Cinnamon Swirl, Cookies & Cream, French Toast, Salted Caramel, and Very Berry, along with seasonal Pumpkin Spice, all of which sounded good to me.  

"All this for only 90 calories per 21 pieces!? Drizzilicious is a smart little snack the whole family can feel great about!"
That said, they do still lean in heavily to the low cal, low fat, etc aspect of the rice cake base, and appeal to the health foods folks by bolstering the cakes up with quinoa, chia, and flax ("the ultimate combination of some of the most powerful plant-based superfoods on earth").  They also make a line of drizzled popcorn, which I haven't had a chance to try yet, but absolutely would love to, as popcorn is my #1 vice, *particularly* the decadent drizzled kind.

Drizzlicious products are all gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, etc.  My mother picked these up for my niece when she was required to go gluten-free and dairy free, but, as an avid snacker, of course I was excited to try them too.  Spoiler: uh, they never reached their intended recipient.
Birthday Cake Bites.
"Our Drizzilicious Birthday Cake bites are the perfect treat to snack on for all- young or old! Each bite brings you delicious birthday memories of sweet treats, fun, and smiles."

"Made with quinoa, chia, and flax, it's the ultimate combination of some of the most powerful plant-based superfoods on earth, mixed with a delicious & premium chocolaty drizzle..."

These were insanely delicious.  While they had chia, quinoa, and flax, I didn't taste any of those.  I just tasted the rice / corn base, in a very munchable small puffy bite size "cake", with a lovely sweetness from the white chocolate drizzle.  They tasted lightly indulgent, and fairly guilt free (unless, um, of course you eat the whole bag in one sitting, which I'm certain I could easily do).  Great form factor, great sweetness level, good balance from a bit a salt, just, pretty awesome.
