Canadian Candy Stash
December 17, 2009
I have a dealer up North… my friend from Canada who likes to send me and the boys boxes of treats every now and then. The reason behind this package was that Jodi wanted me to taste CheeCha Puffs. These airy chips are gluten-free, and are basically hot-air puffed potato flour and starch. Mine are the Sea Salt & Pepper variety, and they’re really tasty. Plus, they’re not bad nutritionally: 2 cups is less than 100 calories, and no fat. Unfortunately, you can only order them online in the U.S. at this point, and that’s where my personal Canadian supplier stepped in!
In addition to the CheeCha Puffs, we received enough chocolate to last us for months: Kinder Surprise (oh, G. is heaven and asks for them all day long), Smarties (two kinds), Cadbury Mini Eggs, Cadbury Popping Mini Eggs, mini Kinder Chocolate bars, some additional Cadbury chocolate bars and chocolate-covered sunflower seeds.
Although I’m not a chocolate fiend (the Puffs are more my style), I can’t help but want to eat it if it’s around! Thankfully I am very good at the whole out of sight, out of mind thing when it comes to chocolate. It’s tucked away in my pantry and will be doled out to the kids in reasonable amounts. G. has tried to argue that one Kinder Surprise for breakfast is reasonable, but I’m not buying it. At least not until vacation…

Hi Dara,
My mother, Elaine and I are the owners/ creators of CheeCha Puffs. I was so pleased to read your review of our Puffs and was wondering if you would care to receive samples of a some of our other flavors? I would be happy to send some to your Canadian friend Jodi as well.
Best Regards,

Hello Tracey!
So neat to see you on here. I am such a fan of CheeCha Puffs and can’t say enough good things about them! I was excited to send them along to Dara as I thought she’d enjoy them too:)
