We have a few favorite crispy snacks to enjoy when we’re having a crunch attack, or when we want something to go with beer, wine and Martinis.

We love them with soup, too, as a side or a garnish. And for general crunching.

This week’s products, in alphabetic order:
 
 
1. GOLD EMBLEM ABOUND: WHITE CHEDDAR POPCORN

Bags of tasty, whole-grain popcorn abound. Popcorn is a better-for-you snack, and whenever we’re hungry on-the-road we look for a bag.

That’s how we happened upon the CVS brand, Gold Emblem Abound, and its delicious White Cheddar Flavored Heavenly Light Popcorn.

The popcorn is all natural: no artificial colors or preservatives. The cheddar is just the right amount. And the light, fluffy texture seemed even better than other brands we’ve tried.

The next time you pass a CVS, treat yourself to a bag.

You can even buy it online.
 
 
2. HARVEST SNAPS: CRUNCHY PEA/LEGUME SNACKS, GLUTEN FREE

Harvest Snaps are a line of gluten-free snacks made largely from legumes: peas or lentils. They have 30%-60% less fat, lower sodium and more fiber than the same amount of potato chips.

Legumes are packed with nutrients: calcium, folate, iron, potassium and vitamin B, along with highs level of protein and dietary fiber.

The line is non-GMO, including the canola/sunflower oils used to fry the chips (most canola oil is made from genetically modified seeds).

Flavors include:

 
They’re light, crispy and perfect for summer. Where should you begin?

THE NIBBLE philosophy has always been: Buy all the flavors and have a tasting party, with beer and wine.

3. MOZAICS: ORGANIC POPPED VEGETABLE & POTATO CHIPS

We became addicted to these very flavorful, very crunchy chips: a combination of legumes and potatoes which have more protein and fiber, and less fat and calories, than either vegetable chips or potato chips.

Made with organic legumes and potatoes—organic black beans, organic green peas, organic potatoes and organic yellow split peas—they are neither fried nor baked, but popped with a brush of organic extra virgin olive oil.

Flavors include:
