Wild Trail Cacao Fruit and Nuts Bars

I often find myself guilty of not having a proper lunch at work and to try and fill a hole quickly. Rather than picking up the crisps and biscuits I have been on the hunt for some healthier snack bars and have recently discovered Wild Trail Cacao fruit and nut bars. The issue I have with most ‘healthier’ snack bars is they are either full of sugar or have a high percentage of dates. What caught my eye was these Wild Trail Cacao bars have 5 simple ingredients in them – Raisins, Peanuts, Gluten Free Oats, Cacao and Apple Juice. That is…

Hippeas Salt and Vinegar Vibes

So I thought I would try and balance things up this time around and to help keep us on an even keel today we have the new Hippeas Salt and Vinegar Vibes* snacks. The Hippeas Cheese Power have been a firm favourite since I tried them last year, however with salt and vinegar being my favourite of flavours we could have a contender on our hands.  The lovely Hippeas Team sent some peas and love in the brightest of boxes and inside was a snazzy shopping bag and these new snacks. I confess I have had these sitting waiting for…

It does however seem that these and the white chocolate version are not in every supermarket. If you…

So here we are today with sandwich themed crisps on the menu.  Kettle Discoveries is all about snazzy flavour combinations that are inspired from near and far places and are ultimately here to get us…

The People’s Choice – Oreo Choc’o Brownie

Nearly a year ago Oreo gave the UK public the chance to vote for the new Oreo flavour following the addition of Strawberry and Mint. Most surprising was over 40% of the votes went on having a chocolate brownie centre, fast forward to the present day and these Oreo Choc’o Brownie biscuits have hit the shelves.  Firstly I am not one of the 40+% people and instead am one of those who are mighty annoyed that despite the option of Banana (my vote), Lemon, or Coconut, we have gone for the boring Brownie Batter. Nonetheless before I completely put this one…
