Direct expanded snack flexibility These can be face-cut at the die for simple shapes such as balls, curls and rings; a profiled die makes more complex shaped ‘character’ products. The product stream can also be cut to form chipsticks or tubes. Alternative textures add variety Cooking a mix that is not homogeneous ensures an uneven texture that mimics cluster snacks; stringy biscuits resemble shredded products but with a crispy, cracker-like bite: Crimping provides pillow snacks with a light, open texture.

Cracker type snacks cut from a thin sheet of extruded dough before baking and flavouring are a low-fat alternative to conventional frying; profiled snacks can be rippled, curved or have V-shaped channels.
