With all of the disturbing news about Chinese treats, foods, and melamine, here's a snack that's darned tasty and dangerous chemical-free.Bamba. The stuff is all the rage in Israel. Basically, it's the peanut butter version of the cheese puff -- airy little tubes of tastiness. (In fact, it started out, years ago, as a cheese snack before switching to peanut in 1964.) What's interesting about bamba is that when you put it on your tongue, there's not a lot of taste. However, as soon as you bite into it, there's a peanut butter explosion -- it's like licking up a dollop of peanut butter and avoiding the stickiness. What's better -- it's all-natural. Bamba's list of ingredients is: peanuts (49%), corn, vegetable oil, and salt.
The snack is starting to hit regular grocery stores (finally!) in Canada, and I don't know about stores stateside, but it is available here. Any bamba fans out there?
