Brave Roasted Chickpeas – Sweet Chilli flavour (Amazon) By @SpectreUK

I'm always on the lookout for alternative snacks to crisps and nuts. If I wasn't on a constant diet I'd eat crisp packets by the dozen, but I try to stick to one packet a day with my lunch or an alternative equivalent. I can't eat nuts due to dietary reasons, but flavoured roasted chickpeas can be quite a treat and fill that snacking gap I miss terribly. I do really miss chilli favoured nuts, but sadly there doesn't seem to be a replacement for my favourite coated salted peanuts!

I tried Brave Roasted Peas Paprika & Chilli before and rather enjoyed them, which was a relief due to the fact that when we bought them from Amazon they arrived in a box of twelve. These new Sweet Chilli flavoured Brave roasted chickpeas sound right up my street. Since I ran out of the previous box of twelve Brave flavoured peas, I couldn't help but dive straight into the box. There was a sweet chilli smell with a touch of paprika on opening the first packet. That spicy smell carried through to the taste. There was a sweet chilli and paprika flavour to these deep red chickpeas, with quite a strong aftertaste of parsley. These Brave Roasted Chickpeas have a medium to light chilli heat. They made my nose run just a little whilst eating them. I noticed that I liked the seasoning so much that I found myself dunking the end of my sandwich into the dustings left on my plate towards the end of my meal. I'm very glad I have another eleven packets!
