Asian Biscuit Snack Bars

My friend, Amy, introduced me to these crazy delicious Asian biscuit snack bars that come individually wrapped inside a cute plastic package with lots of legumes on it; you get a pack of 12 for around $1.59 at Asian Markets. I just look for the "99" or "100" on the outside with all the little beans and grains. I have no idea what these are called because I can't read the packages, but all I know is that they are good and I just call them biscuit snack bars.

When I looked on some packages, I could read one part: the English description of the flavor of the biscuit snack bar. They come in different flavors: milk, egg, onion, laver (seaweed), sesame seed. I like the milk and egg ones the best. They have a nice creamy, almost sweet, but not too sweet flavor on the inside of their tubular shape and a crunchy, crumbly biscuit outside. 

The best part is that Amy told me that these biscuit snack bars are made up of a whole bunch of grains, rice, buck wheat, oatmeal, and legumes (peas and red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, soy beans) and crazy healthy stuff like that, but it doesn't taste like any of that stuff at all--it just tastes like a yummy crunchy cookie biscuit with a thin layer of filling. Depending on the brand and flavor, one biscuit snack bar only has about 44-60 calories and between 4-5g carbohydrates! No MSG either!

These are the perfect little snack to throw in your purse or bag to stave off hunger pangs during the day because they are small, portable and yummy! Sometimes when I'm in a rush, I'll just grab one of these for breakfast to eat with my coffee or stuff it in my purse to munch on later on in the day. It's been a hunger-saver for me and it's one of my new snack addictions, thanks to Amy!
