When you have a blog about food sometimes you've got to suck it up and take one for the team by trying something that doesn't sound that good. If you read my review on the Wasabi & Soy Sauce flavor you know how much I loved it, so I figured I owe it to Nabisco (yes, I feel obligations to snack companies) to give the second of these new flavors a try. But sweet Triscuits?
There a a few things wrong here. First, what is the best cinnamon sugar flavored thing there is? Cinnamon rolls, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, churros, snickerdoodles? All of these things are soft and even if you don't put milk on your Cinnamon Toast Crunch it's pretty light in texture. Now think about the texture of a Triscuit, and not just a regular Triscuit mind you, a brown rice Triscuit. And that's where these go wrong. Truth is these taste great, but it takes so much saliva and mastication to dispense one of these little rock hard wedges that by the time you swallow any cinnamon sugar goodness is long gone (something the wasabi solved in that other flavor by hitting late and up the back of the nose).
Second, these are not just brown rice Triscuits, they're brown rice and sweet potato Triscuits. My guess is the sweet potato is there to help hold the sweetness during the aforementioned problem, but it just ends up muddling up everything. Cinnamon, sugar, brown rice, wheat, and sweet potato just end up being a bit confusing for my taste buds.
So in the end I'd recommend you skip this one. I applaud Nabisco for trying something different again (the third of their new flavors is sour cream and chive which is obviously their safe offering), but I didn't like this one anywhere near as much as the wasabi & soy sauce flavor.
