Acclaimed Craize Corn Snacks Everything Flavor Heads to San Diego’s Winter FancyFaire

Taste Craize Corn Snacks at Winter FancyFaire, the fire-griddled crunch at Booth #3100, January 11–13, at the San Diego Convention Center.

Snack culture has officially grown up, but it still wants to have fun.

Today’s most exciting brands don’t just promise “better-for-you.” They deliver real flavor, real texture, and a reason to reach back into the bag. That’s exactly why Craize Corn Snacks Everything Flavor earning finalist status in the 2026 sofi™ Awards matters.

From January 11–13, 2026, Craize® will bring its award-winning crunch to San Diego’s Winter FancyFaire, setting up at Booth #3100 inside the San Diego Convention Center.

For chefs, buyers, and food lovers who track where snack trends are actually going, not where marketing decks say they’re headed, this is one stop worth making. Craize isn’t launching noise. It’s offering proof: clean ingredients, a fire-griddled process, and a flavor that holds its own in a very crowded room.

Why Craize Corn Snacks Everything Flavor Stood Out

A sofi™ Finalist in a Sea of Snacks

The sofi™ Awards are the specialty food industry’s highest honor, and in 2026, more than 1,200 products competed for attention. Craize Corn Snacks Everything Flavor didn’t just make the cut—it impressed buyers in blind tastings, where branding disappears and flavor does all the talking.

“There are thousands of food and beverage products on store shelves,

and yet amidst the multitude of options,

these finalists have risen above their peers to receive

top scores from our expert judging panel of buyers,”

Bill Lynch

President of the Specialty Food Association.

“Congratulations to Craize Snacks and all the 2026 sofi™ Award Finalists!”

Translation: this snack earned its spot the hard way.

Fire-Griddled Crunch That Actually Delivers

Not Fried. Not Baked. Better.

Craize® doesn’t rely on frying, baking, or puffing. Instead, it uses a proprietary slow, open-fire griddling process that locks in a sharp, snappy crunch without added oils. The texture is clean. The bite is confident.

And yes, it’s dangerously easy to keep eating.

You grab a handful for “research,” then realize the bag is half gone. No shame. That crunch is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.

The Everything Flavor blends sesame and poppy seeds with garlic and onion for a savory, bagel-inspired hit that feels indulgent without being heavy. It’s bold, balanced, and unmistakably fun-loving.

Go Beyond the Flavor with Craize Corn Snacks at Winter FancyFaire

This Is Where the Brand Shows Its Teeth

Craize® isn’t just showing up, it’s inviting conversation. At Winter FancyFaire, January 11–13, 2026, media and buyers are encouraged to visit Booth #3100 to experience the product firsthand and meet the people behind it.

At the booth, attendees can:

• Taste Craize Corn Snacks Everything Flavor, the 2026 sofi™ Award Finalist

• Learn how fire-griddling changes texture and flavor

• Discuss snack trends, clean-label innovation, and what’s next for the brand

• Interview Michele Abo, General Manager of Kayco Beyond, about growth and expansion

Arrive by appointment or walk-up. In other words: no velvet rope, no overproduced pitch; just a snack that’s confident enough to speak for itself.

Craize Corn Snacks Everything Flavor in Real Life

From Trade Show Floor to Wine Bar Table

What makes Craize work is how easily it moves between worlds. It’s just as comfortable next to hummus at a wine bar in Brooklyn as it is on a cheese board in Paris or a casual spread at home.

Another truth: it’s the snack you put out for guests and quietly hope they don’t empty the while bag, because you want to save some for later.

Craize checks the boxes: vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, kosher, seed oil–free, made in an allergen-friendly facility, but never tastes like it’s trying to earn a gold star. The flavor comes first. Always.

“Being recognized as a sofi Finalist is a huge honor for us,”

Michele Abo

General Manager of Kayco Beyond

“Craize is more than just a cracker, it’s a modern, healthy snack that delivers incredible taste and versatility. We are thrilled to see Craize recognized as a sofi Finalist. We hope this accolade will help us introduce consumers to this outstanding product that’s vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and allergen-friendly, yet never compromises on flavor or crunch.”

That last part is the difference-maker.

A Flavor Lineup Made for Fun-Loving Palates

Craize® offers five signature flavors that cover sweet, savory, and everything in between:

• Everything – The sofi™ Award Finalist; savory, bagel-inspired, endlessly snackable

• Sweet Corn – Lightly sweet with dark brown sugar

• Jalapeño Lime – Zesty heat balanced with citrus

• Coconut – Warm, tropical, and unexpected

• Guava – Bright, fruity, and playful

Real ingredients are mixed directly into the dough, not sprinkled on top—so the flavor feels integrated, not performative.
