Carr's Crackers, Whole Grain Crackers, Party Snacks, Whole Wheat, 7oz Box (Box of 6)

These are fantastic biscuits/crackers and they go so well with a hearty cheese. They are often times hard to find in the brick and mortar stores, as mentioned in other reviews, and I was so happy to find them on Amazon. I am just posting a warning because after having ordered these several times throughout the year—six shrink-wrapped boxes per order— on my last two orders I have only received one individual box of crackers. Not the six boxes that constitute one order, just one box. The first time this happened a couple of days ago, I called Amazon and they were quick to refund my purchase to Amazon gift card so that I could re-order— as this was some kind of internal glitch. So I re-ordered, and received my order today, and again, instead of receiving the shrink wrapped, six box order (42 oz), I open the Amazon box and once again there is just one individual box of crackers —not the six pack that I ordered. One 7 oz box of crackers, for $20. There’s obviously something going on in the order/fulfillment/shipping department, and wires are crossed, because I can’t seem to get the six boxes that I order, they’re only shipping out one small individual box. I hope they fix this problem soon… As I really love these crackers and would like to continue ordering them… But as of right now I will not be ordering them because I don’t have the time to be calling Amazon every other day because the order is getting mixed up. Maybe it will be different for you… But this is my experience of the past few days trying to order these crackers…

Carr's whole wheat crackers are delicious, wholesome, and filling. These Carr crackers are light and flakey and have a very slightly buttery feel. The taste is slightly sweet, but also "grainy" and wholesome. The flavor is very complex. They crumble a bit, but hold together well. They support cheese and meats well. All the boxes arrived in great condition, with just a few broken crackers. The expiration date is about a year out, so there's plenty of time to eat them. Indeed, I might eat them a little too quickly. They are like potato chips, I can't have just one... or ten for that matter. Thankfully, they are made from simple ingredient and the calorie count is modest. However, if I eat too many I get an upset stomach, and by too many I mean twenty or so. All in all... super delicious.

I first tasted these in the biscuits for cheese assortment many years ago, but I could almost never find them by themselves. They’re not for you if you like sweet cookies, but for me they’re just sweet enough to be delicious. They’re kind of crumbly and one or two are satisfying. They never cause me to sit down and eat a whole box at once. I hope that Amazon continues to carry them. I don’t think they really go with cheese, but I know that people like to use them on cheese plates, so I guess it’s just a matter of taste.

1/19/21 UPDATE: Have ordered more Carr’s While Wheat Crackers, and they’re as good as normal. I want to add a detail, that I didn’t think to add to original review: The cellophane sleeve of the crackers that tasted so terribly, had (3), what looked like dried epoxy/plastic “threads” (about 1/8” W x 2” L ) on the exterior! None of the remaining packages in the shipment it came in, nor in subsequent shipments, has had dried epoxy/plastic on them, and taste fine. Was someone gluing something around the product assembly that day, or did something like plastic, melt onto one of the packages, that ended up in that unfortunate shipment? I wonder. ORIGINAL (poor) REVIEW: I adore Carr’s Whole Wheat Crackers, eaten them for years and have had good quality product until today! They were INEDIBLE, FOUL tasting, STALE and, broken, crackers! A total surprise and disappointment. 3.75 hours later I still have the awful aftertaste, despite brushing my teeth, drinking water, and eating chocolate to try to override the bad tasting cracker, that I’d spit out right away! FORTUNATELY, AMAZON “...made it right...” and is authorizing a credit to the original account, for which I am very grateful. And, they said they would send the feedback up the line to the seller/manufacturer. I hope so as there may be a quality control issue. (The expiration date on the box isn’t until May 2021, BTW, so they shouldn’t have tasted so horribly stale). I have bought these several times before from Amazon and never had a problem. Now I will be more cautious. Buyers beware if you get boxes with the May 11, 2021 expiry date.

These are my absolutely favorite snack cracker. They have a rich wheat flavor with a soft sweetness that is reminiscent of a cookie. But only 3 gms of sugar per serving. They are beefy, thick crackers that taste really great just as they come out of the package. My store doesn't carry them anymore, but they should. They REALLY should.

Great crackers but upon arrival, every box had been torn open and was damaged. They need some quality control over packing and shipping.

Some of the other reviews mention that the crackers tasted a little “off”. The ones we received were fine, but sometimes the same crackers from local stores had a kind of Oil Gone Funky taste. Probably has to do with how long they’ve been in transit and on the shelf. And maybe slightly inadequately airproof packaging at the factory. Our problem was that the boxes were not adequately padded in the box Amazon shipped them in. Nearly every cracker was busted. We usually put a dab of peanut butter or jam on them and have them for dessert. We just us the toppings to attach the cracker chunks into a kind of Carr’s jam Oreo and nom-nom out. If you’re planning to put these out as elegant party canapés, best re-think it. Get them or a substitute from the local store so you can make sure the box hasn’t suffered abuse.

I love these crackers and search grocery stores for them all the time. Since they're getting harder and harder to find, I had to order online. These crackers are somewhat grainy (think bran muffin texture but drier and crunchy) and somewhat sweet - almost as much as a butter cookie (in fact, I think you could eat them as a healthy cookie). I love to serve them with brie or cream cheese and jelly, pepper jelly, or fig preserves. Probably wouldn't go as well with salty or meat toppings.
