ExtendSnacks, creators of the ever-popular ExtendBar®, transforms American snacking into a healthful culinary delight with the increased retail availability of ExtendCrisps™. Patented technology, utilizing uncooked cornstarch, make ExtendCrisps™ the first and only crunchy snack clinically proven to provide up to 9 hours of glucose control. And with a classic taste and crunch that consumers expect when snacking, it's almost impossible to believe ExtendCrisps can be a healthful addition to your daily eating regimen.

ExtendCrisps™ were specifically designed to help stabilize blood sugar levels for up to 9 hours. Its patented formula converts gradually to blood sugar over 7-9 hours instead of all at once like so many other snacks. ExtendCrisps™,are the next generation of products based on the original ExtendBar® technology, that is clinically proven to help control hunger by suppressing appetite, reduce blood sugar swings, avoid low blood sugar even overnight, and sustain energy during exercise and recovery.

With a built-in consumer-base for ExtendBar®, ExtendSnacks responded to its long-time, loyal customer’s desire for savory, crunchy snack options. Debuting in January 2008, these all-natural crisps, made with gluten-free ingredients, have no trans-fat, are low glycemic and a good source of protein and fiber, and will retail for approximately $1.59 for a snack-size bag. ExtendCrisps™ come in five consumer-inspired flavors including White Cheddar, Italian Herb, Honey BBQ, Cinnamon, and Zesty Ranch.

This addition of the ExtendCrisps™ line expands ExtendSnacks’ growing list of healthful snack products, including ExtendBar® in five flavors: Chocolate Delight, Peanut Delight, Mixed Berry Delight, Apple Cinnamon Delight, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Delight, and the soon to be launched ExtendShakes™ line.
