Kayco's Craize, the chip-cracker hybrid, will make its official debut at the Sweets & Snacks Expo, taking place May 19–21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, at booth 4572.

Craize is crafted using a proprietary fire-griddled process that delivers taste, crunch, and versatility, the company says—without frying or added oils. The snack is made with clean, simple ingredients, and all natural fruits, veggies, and spices blended right in the arepa corn dough. Additionally, all flavors are seed-oil free, vegan, non-GMO, gluten free, and kosher.

Adding to its growing recognition, the Craize Everything Flavor was recently honored with the Sofi Gold Award as Best Cracker of 2026 at the January Fancy Faire Winter Fancy Food Show.

Michele Abo, general nanager of Kayco Beyond, exclusive distributor of Craize says, “Craize is a truly differentiated snack that delivers on taste, craftsmanship, and modern wellness. Designed to meet consumer’s growing demands for healthy snacks, Craize stands out in a crowded category with its distinctive crunch, innovative production process, and crave-worthy flavor profiles.”

The snack's five signature flavors include:

  • Everything – Sesame and poppy seeds blended with garlic and onion for a savory, bagel-inspired bite
  • Sweet Corn – Lightly sweetened with dark brown sugar, pairs well with jams, nut butters, or guacamole
  • Guava – Fruity and refreshing, made with authentic guava puree
  • Coconut – Infused with dried coconut, vanilla, and cinnamon for a subtly sweet tropical twist
  • Jalapeño Lime – Zesty heat balanced with bright cilantro and lime
