Pirate's Booty gets generous (review & giveaway)

I was recently invited to try out Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar snacks, which meant that my son -- snacker that he is -- tried them out. OK, yeah, I ate my fair share but he certainly tried his best to hog them all.

Not that I minded too much because I know Pirate's Booty to be fairly healthy snacks since they are baked, not fried in oil like a lot of other chips and snacks like that. And Conal and I enjoyed them. The puffs are light and cheesy and just salty enough to satisfy. I could probably eat a whole bag of them, truth be told!

Anyway, so we liked the Pirate's Booty. But, here's something new about them: In partnership with that little Johnny Depp movie that came out last week, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Pirate's Booty has released limited edition packages that look like this:

Aargh!

For each limited edition package sold, Pirate's Booty will make a donation to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, an organization that helps young people, especially those in need, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens, with a goal of donating $100,000.

Also, as part of the program, Pirate’s Booty is offering a chance to win a “Fountain of Youth” themed Caribbean vacation to Casa De Campo in the Dominican Republic. OK, hi! Yes, I would love to go to the DR. For real. And you probably would, too, so head over to www.PiratesBooty.com for more information and to enter for a chance to win.

To buy

You can find Pirate's Booty at most grocery stores. Near me, Hannaford, Price Chopper and the Honest Weight Food Coop all stock the snacks. You can also buy Pirate's Bootyonline from Amazon where a pack of 12 4-oz bags goes for $24.48. And, you can also buy them direct from the company (same price as Amazon).
