Topping suggestions for cracker biscuits

I was thrilled when I was selected to be one of 10 bloggers invited to try the new range of Arnotts Vita Weat Lunch Slices. I often have a couple of crackers and cheese or a spread of butter and Vegemite for lunch but try to avoid stacking the crackers too high with toppings as they sometimes crumble under the strain. No problem with that happening with the new Arnotts Vita Weat range. They’re made to withstand lots of toppings without crumbling in your hand.

Do you remember the original Vita Weats, when spread with butter and Vegemite and when squeezed, little ‘worms’ squished through the holes? I loved them! The Vita Weats have definitely ‘grown up’ since then and the good people at Arnotts have really boost the flavour of the crackers with such flavour combinations as:

    • Soy, linseed and sesame
    • Sunflower, oats and chia
    • Sunflower, pumpkin and canola
    • Poppy, sunflower and rye
The crackers are packed full of wholegrains and seeds, perfect to fill you up at lunch http://imglobalnetwork.com/vhealthportal-com-is-generic-online-pharmacy.html/ time and keep the hunger at bay in the afternoon.  Each box contains two separate packs. Ideal to keep in the pantry or your drawer at work. I decided to make lunch for my mother and sister and get their opinions on this new range of cracker biscuits.  Here are a couple toppings I served:

 

 

Thai Chicken

  • Thai chilli, lemongrass, coriander & cashew dip
  • cooked, sliced chicken breast
  • roasted capsicum strips
  • coriander leaves
 
 
This was topped on a poppy, sunflower and rye cracker. My favourite!
 

Italian Antipasto

  • garlic and chive cream cheese
  • tuna chunks in springwater, drained
  • marinated, roasted capsicum strips
  • sliced green, capsicum stuffed olives
  • chunky basil pesto
 
My Mum’s favourite. This was served on the soy, linseed and sesame cracker. Both my mother and sister thoroughly enjoyed these crackers. They’re good enough to eat on their own or just with a smear of butter because of being chock full of chunky grains. With the addition of toppings you’ve got a complete, healthy snack or lunchtime treat.
