EXHIBIT 10.1

Summary of Non-Employee Director Compensation

On September
18, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Hawkins, Inc. (the Company) Board
of Directors approved changes in the non-employee directors compensation. The
changes provide that the cash portion of the annual retainer increases from
$15,000 to $20,000 and each non-employee director will receive an annual
restricted grant of 1,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock (Common Stock)
on the date of the Companys annual meeting of shareholders. Previously $6,000
of the $15,000 cash retainer was used to purchase Common Stock through the
Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Company credited an additional
$4,500 to each non-employee directors account to fund the purchase of
additional shares of Common Stock. The new annual Common Stock grants will vest
on the first anniversary of their issuance, subject to acceleration in the
event of a directors death or disability. The changes were made effective for
the current fiscal year.

The additional
annual retainer paid to the Board chair remains at $10,000 and each
non-employee director will continue to receive a meeting fee of $1,000 for each
Board and committee meeting attended. The additional annual retainer paid to
the chairs of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee increases from
$2,500 to $5,000 and the chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee Chair
will now receive an additional annual retainer of $2,500.

These changes
are intended to keep the directors compensation competitive.

The following
table shows compensation payable to non-employee directors before and after
this increase:
