Vermont Smoke and Cure Mini Meat Sticks BeefPork, Original Beef & Pork, 0.5 ounce (96 count)

This was a very pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure how 'porky' it would be, and it's a perfect hickory smoked bacon flavor, but with more meatiness since it's not some scrawny slice of bacon. VERY good. These will last me a while, but I will reorder.

I I was born in Bennington Vermont and grew up in Burlington Vermont. 28 years ago I moved away. Miss Vermont food! This was great!

Great for carnivore.

I've been enjoying the Original variety of Vermont Smoke & Cure's meat sticks since I first bought them at a local health food store, Nature's Pantry, several years ago. The sticks are a little pricier there, as you'd expect, and while I'm happy to pay brick-and-mortar prices for many things--I make a point of shopping in actual stores because I want them to thrive--when it comes to something like this, which I eat a lot of, I'm glad that I can buy it in bulk on Amazon and VS&C's own website, as a single order and via subscription. My online orders of this product date back to 2015, and the quality has been consistently excellent. The sticks are juicy, chewy, satisfying, and come in convenient sizes. The Original variety is spiced just right; it's flavorful but tastes mild and clean. There are just 11 ingredients on the label (12 if you include the collagen casing), and I know what each one of them is and does. I find the half-ounce, Mini size easier to carry around than the longer, 1 oz sticks, but I buy both. If I'm running out of the house without breakfast, I can drop a couple of the Minis in my bag and then chomp on them for energy. They're great as a snack too and can satisfy a meat craving. With equal amounts of fat and protein and zero carbs, they fit both keto and paleo diets. And knowing VS&C's commitment to using humanely raised meats and ingredients from local businesses, I feel great about buying from the company. I don't eat sugars--this really is what's inside the candy jar in my home office, where I spend most of my indoor time.

These mini cracked pepper meat sticks are very tasty. On Weight Watchers plan they are only 1 point per stick making them a great protein snack source. They are a better price here, especially buying in bulk, than at the WW store. However, the box only had 189 pieces instead of the advertised 192. Yes I counted them because they were just thrown into an Amazon box. So, they make a good product. Just need to be more conscientious about packaging in bulk.

After school snacks for kids. not sure how they taste, but kids love them and they are individually wrapped so no spoilage or shared germs.

Just delivered on 6/30 - sent in my kids lunches and I took a bite and it is completely rotten. AND NO RETURNS? nasty- at least send a replacement

Taste great easy to grab on the go
