New York Style Bagel Crisps, Sea Salt, 7.2 oz, 3 Pack

New York Style Bagel Crisps begin as real bagels, which are baked, sliced thin and then baked a second time until they snap. That second pass is what separates them from a pita chip: the crumb dries all the way through, giving a dense, brittle crisp with the chew of a bagel behind it rather than a light flake. The sea salt version stays plain enough to carry whatever you put on top.

The build matters most at the dip bowl. A crisp this rigid goes into thick hummus, spinach and artichoke, whitefish salad or a slab of cream cheese without folding at the edge, which is where thinner crackers tend to give up. Each bag holds 7.2 ounces, and three of them is party quantity rather than lunchbox quantity.

They also crumble over tomato soup or a chopped salad, and they hold their own on a cheese board next to a firm cheddar.
