I saw these Newtons Fruit Thins at the grocery store this summer and mentioned them to my mom. I was thinking they were a throwback to this kind of thin fruit-filled "cookie" my parents used to like to eat on road trips. We kids were not as keen on them. We all called them "sawdust cookies." I think anything with the texture (and taste) of sawdust is a liability on a road trip, but for some reason, my parents thought were fantastic.
Anyway, when my mom came up to help me after Cole was born, she bought me a box, and we soon discovered (to my elation and my mother's chagrin) that they in fact were NOT sawdust cookies. Instead, they are thin, crisp circles of deliciousness. We ended up eating a lot of boxes when my mom was in town.
I've tried all of the varieties other than the chocolate raspberry (only because I haven't seen it in my store, though I'll be on the lookout now), but my favorite is the citrus cranberry oat. Delectable. Think of how good it would taste as the accompaniment to some freshly made ice cream.
Also, I love that Nabisco's url is nabiscoworld.com. How heady is that?
