text: For those occasions when a simple cracker just won't do, there's the Martha Stewart Triscuit. 
   
   Her flavor — toasted coconut with sea salt — hit grocery store shelves earlier this month, and she told The Huffington Post that she's certain it will become "habit forming." It was a "long and interesting process" creating a cracker, and Stewart said she tried several different combinations before selecting coconut and sea salt. Speaking of salt, she's a huge fan: "I like salt," she said. "My daughter likes salt. We all like salt." 
   
   Stewart said she's not really a snacker — when she does grab a bite to eat between meals, it's fruit — but believes a well-stocked pantry must have a few different types of crackers. She wouldn't serve her Triscuits alone, but would add crab meat and lime or avocado and hot pepper, and also suggests turning them into an elevated s'more by topping a cracker with melted milk chocolate and a marshmallow. Of course, you have to present them on a gleaming silver tray alongside Waterford goblets and perfectly folded linen napkins, but you already knew that. Catherine Garcia ||||| Of course. Of course Martha Stewart -- model, housekeeping hero and comrade of Snoop Dogg -- has concocted the fanciest cracker flavor in the grocery store. 
   
   Triscuits have been around since 1901, but Stewart's made them very on trend and so 2015. Her toasted coconut and sea salt-flavored Triscuit hit shelves in early May and will stay there for a limited time. 
   
   Though Stewart has countless cracker recipes of her own, she told The Huffington Post her partnership with Triscuit was her first experience working with a mass marketed cracker manufacturer. "It was a long and interesting process," she said, and after a lot of trial and error, she settled on coconut and sea salt, a flavor combination she thought would be "habit forming." 
   
   The 73-year-old lifestyle mogul describes the inventing process pretty plainly: "It was my idea. I like salt and I like coconut. ... I thought that was a flavor of cracker that would be savory and sweet." It certainly is. The cracker tastes like it was cooked in coconut oil and then salted; the sweet flavor isn't overpowering, nor does it have that "hint of sunscreen" taste that many coconut-flavored foods can't seem to shake. 
   
   Stewart said she likes to watch people try the cracker for the first time because, she said, they almost always go back for seconds. But she herself can defeat the crispy, salty addiction: She says she's not much of a snacker, and when she does feel a hunger pang she eats fruit. Still, she always keeps crackers in the house -- Triscuits, Ritz and Saltines are the three that stock her pantry -- because of the salt factor. 
   
   "I like salt. My daughter likes salt. We all like salt," she said. Salt it is. 
   
   While it's totally acceptable to eat Triscuits straight from the box, Stewart has some cracker combos that take the snack up a notch. She said if she were serving the crackers at a party, she'd top them with crab meat and lime or avocado with hot peppers. 
   
   For a hot hors d'oeuvres, these salty-sweet crunchers pair well with melted cheese, or for the true bourgeoisie, a crab and truffle topping. For dessert, Stewart suggests melting milk chocolate on each square and adding a marshmallow. Now you have Martha Stewart-approved s'mores. 
   
   What could be more honorable than that?

   If anyone puts together a food time capsule for the year 2015, make sure to include the new limited edition summer offering from Triscuit — the Toasted Coconut & Sea Salt flavor created by the one and only Martha Stewart. The project and surrounding P.R. campaign manage to squeeze everything that’s hot right now on, into, and around the 9-oz. box of crackers. Here’s the evidence: 
   
   
   
   1. Martha. At 73, she’s still the beloved icon that owns the domestic arts category. 
   
   2. Toasted coconut and sea salt. Totally on trend in terms of ingredients. Not on trend if you’re a fan of all things local. This only counts as a local treat if you live in one of the top coconut-producing regions, like Indonesia or Sri Lanka. 
   
   3. Avocado. The Pharrell of food. It’s everywhere, but we don’t mind. And it collaborates so well with other foods — toast, tomato, crabmeat, eggs. The Triscuit box features a picture of the crackers with some avocado on top as a serving suggestion. Happy, indeed. 
   
   4. S’mores. Yahoo Food has predicted that s’mores might be the flavor of the year, given how many s’mores-related edibles we’ve seen to date. The back of the box shows another serving suggestion — a toasted marshmallow with chocolate atop one of the Martha Triscuits. Call it S’mores Deluxe, no campfire required. 
   
   5. Pinterest. The Triscuit folks managed to get a link to its Pinterest page on the back of the box, too. If you’re a dedicated Pinhead, you already know Triscuit recipes, from Triscuit pizza to Triscuit Parmesan crusted chicken tenders, are popular on the site. 
   
   6. Artisanal food. We’re not talking about the Triscuits, which everyone acknowledges is a mass-produced packaged food. To celebrate the launch of the Martha Triscuits, the company commissioned five “artisanal food producers” to create a special product to be sold on each artisan’s website. The products include: McClure’s Olive Tapenade; The Jam Stand’s Cherry Ginger Jam; Wondermade Marshmallow’s Blackberry Mallow; Olympia Provisions’ Summer Sausage; and Savannah Bee Company’s Winter White Honey with Passion Fruit. 
   
   7. Entrepreneurs. Everyone is fascinated by entrepreneurs today. The press release for new flavor notes that Triscuit was originally founded in 1901 by an “enterprising small business owner.” The release neglects to mention the founder, but it could be referring to Henry Perky, the founder of shredded wheat biscuits. 
   
   All teasing aside, most serious foodies, chefs included, love Triscuits. The reason? The original version has three ingredients — whole grain wheat, vegetable oil, and sea salt — making it one of the more straightforward packaged snack foods around. Even the much-lauded Gabrielle Hamilton of New York’s Prune restaurant famously featured Triscuits as a bar snack, albeit paired with sardines and mustard. She told T Magazine it’s something she could eat “till the end of time.” 
   
   So how do the Martha Triscuits taste? The Yahoo Food team nibbled on some straight out of the box and was pleasantly surprised. There's a slight tang when the cracker hits your tongue, and the salty/sweet combo plays well with the wheat texture. Now all we need is some avocado. Or marshmallows. Or Martha. 
   
   We love Martha Stewart here at Yahoo Food. Here’s some coverage you might have missed.
target: – Weird: Martha Stewart has her own limited-edition flavor of Triscuit crackers out this month. Not so weird: That flavor is "toasted coconut and sea salt." The Huffington Post calls it "the bougiest thing in the cracker aisle," which is about what you'd probably expect from Stewart, but notes that it actually tastes pretty good. Yahoo notes that the ingredients are "totally on trend," and the Week jokes that you're probably required to serve the crackers "on a gleaming silver tray alongside Waterford goblets and perfectly folded linen napkins."
