Vermont Smoke & Cure Mini - Meat Sticks Variety Pack - Protein Snacks, No Antibiotics or Added Hormones, Hiking Snacks- .5 oz, 12-Pack

I got this meat stick variety pack from Vermont Smoke & Cure for my two teen boys. My wife objects to most packaged products like this, but these looked to be much more "healthy" than most of the ones they want to eat. I thought having the variety pack would be the best way to go to see if they like them.Well, they liked them a lot. In fact, I didn't even get to try one. They took them for lunches and had them for snacks. They liked all the flavors and want me to get more.These are round, not like jerky. They are soft and a little chewy from what I'm told.These were a big hit with my boys.

Love the size and the taste great but they do have a very moist, almost mushy texture that is a little off-putting compared to other meat sticks.

The smoky flavor is rich and satisfying, thanks to the slow cooking over hardwood chips. I love the tender texture and how they remind me of a ribeye steak in snack form. They’re great for packing on hikes, and they pair perfectly with cheese for a quick charcuterie board at home. Plus, they’re made without antibiotics or added hormones, which makes them a healthier option.

These are really good! Let me preface this by saying I do not like heat or spicy things normally so to me, these pack a little punch and full of rich smokey flavor and I really enjoy them! Each stick I've had has been flavorful and fresh, soft with the nice snap of the outer layer. Chewy and delicious, not too fatty or anything and no issues with pieces sticking in my teeth. One of the better beef sticks I've ever tried!

Good flavor, tender and flavorful snack to tide ya over. The seasoning is less over baring and overall just a wholesome snack for in between meals. good portion control and value. These are great for those that prefer not to eat beef. The jerkey flavor is still there just with a roasted turkey under note.

My spouse and I both really like the wonderful smoked flavor and taste of these beef sticks. They have a nice texture that isn't too soft or dry. They are obviously premium quality. We like that they are a good source of protein and only 100 calories per serving. The packaging is easy to open and the serving size is just right for our preferences. These are perfect to enjoy anytime, but we think they are great to take along in a backpack while hiking or biking. They are satisfying and filling. The box I received had a best by date of 04/25 which is around 8 months out. I would recommend these to anyone that enjoys beef sticks and would gladly purchase them again.

These mini beef sticks are quite the tasty treat! Perfect for trying a bunch of flavors if you don't want to commit to a whole box of just one flavor, but after trying them all I can confirm that you can't go wrong with any of them. The bacon variety is pretty unique and by far my favorite, but all of them are great. Good value for money and a good product, this is an item I'll be ordering again.

Great size of the product; great to add to a purse or on-the-go/travel bag. I like the variety but the flavor was overly light, lacking seasoning and full flavor. If you want a light snack without being overwhelmed with the taste of meat - this is a good option for you.
