    Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Squares are Like Dairy-Free Cheez Its

    By Alisa Fleming on July 14, 2014 Dairy-Free Snack Reviews, Product Reviews

    Kick those cravings to the curb with Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Squares. Several Earth Balance snacks have come and sadly gone, but these copycat crackers have stood the test of time. And they are surprisingly close to the dairy-laden version.

    Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Flavor Squares - Review and Info - Like Dairy-Free Cheez-Its

    Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Squares are Like Dairy-Free Cheez Its

    My first impression was “good”, but I’m not a cheez-it fanatic, so I turned to my niece for her opinion. She adores Cheez-its and said that the flavor of Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Squares was just like them. “If you didn’t tell me, I may not have known they were different!” she proclaimed. But with knowledge in hand, she did say that the texture was just a touch different – the traditional are a little flakier / crisper, while these have more of an earthy cracker consistency. Tell us what you thought in the reviews and rating below!

    While they aren’t going to be in my cupboard (I’m not a cheesy cracker consumer) this dairy-free alternative definitely got top marks from our resident Cheez-It loving taste-tester, who was hard-pressed to tell the difference. I like that they are also made with all-natural ingredients (unlike the originals).
