Dr. Kracker Giveaway !!!

I've heard about Dr. Kracker from my friends.  They say it's the crunchiest cracker around....never soggy .... and great with your favorite dips.  Well, I just got to try it!!!  Here's what I can say: IT'S TRUE....the crackers and flatbreads are super crunchy, loaded with seeds galore and they come in a whole variety of flavors...sweet apple crisps, pumpkin cheddar, fire-roasted crisps....and more.  And these European-style artisanal crackers are so healthy too...with lots of grains and seeds-----organically grown wheat, spelt, oats,  bran and flaxseed for texture and crunch.

Personally, the flat breads are my favorite---they were absolutely fantastic!  See the  pumpkin seeds and cheddar cheese in the photos above? They load their crackers and flat breads with all varieties of seeds.  One day I brought Cherry Semolina and Hummus Maximus crackers  to coffee klatch but I did not bring a dip and my friends (I just love their honesty) said they think the crackers needed a dip to go with it.  I think so too.  The crackers are neutral and so crunchy and sturdy--- the type that are best with warm spinach artichoke dip, hummus, caramelized onion and gorgonzola mushroom dip!

I wanted to test how sturdy they really were so before coming to work I loaded the Pumpkin Cheddar Flat Breads with strawberries, kiwi, cheese, fresh tomatoes and chipotle shredded beef.  Four hours later, I took them out of my lunch box and to my surprise..... they were amazingly crunchy!!! The middle part (where I laid the cheese and tomatoes) were a little soft BUT not soggy at all.  I hate it when flat breads "wilt"  but Dr. Kracker Pumpkin Cheddar flatbreads did not wilt--- they were still very crunchy. I think they are perfect party appetizers ---they keep their shape and stay delicious at room temp for hours.

I have bought Dr Kraker crackers in Dallas at the Whole Foods Market and liked them; however, to be honest I found them too hard (or maybe my teeth are too soft) but the taste is great and I liked the Cheddar ones the best;

I just wanted to say thanks for visiting my blog today and leaving a comment. I hope your giveaway here does very well, we sometimes offer these as well. Sadly since I doubt they have chocolate flavor I don't think it's fair for me to participate.

Perfect timing, I have been looking for good quality crackers for dips and chunky salads. I never tried these. I would certainly like to try all of them but certainly the following:

- Klassic 3 seed
- Seeder Spelt

By the way answer to your question is Germany:-) and brought to US by by George Eckrich, Carsten Kruse, and Dr. Klaus Karg.
