My children always like the opportunity to review food. Frankly, it doesn’t come round nearly often enough 
So they were delighted at the prospect of reviewing some healthy crisps from Walkers, since we almost never have crisps at all. Their enthusiasm was only slightly dampened by only getting a one fifth of a packet each – but the monkey made up for a lot He’s called Gibber; ten points if you can guess who named him that and why? (Edit: my sister texted me the answer first. She might give you 2 points if you are next).
Walkers say: “We understand kids can be cheeky monkeys when it comes to eating what parents put in their lunchboxes. Which is why we’ve created new Walkers Baked Hoops & Crosses – a great-tasting, low-fat and fun way for kids to boost their wholegrain intake.“
I admit I was dubious, since healthy does not equal delicious nearly often enough. Bene was very taken with the hard back book that came in the box and I now have to read it daily to him, pretending it is in fact a story and not a series of facts about why baked crisps are better for you and why having a helping of wholegrain is so important. I even know that 56% of kids don’t get enough wholegrain *whispers in the style of a footnote* and some don’t get any at all…
Anyway. The crisps are yummy. I liked the flavour and texture and all the kids came back for more. They reminded me a little in texture of a type of snack which is is often pickled onion flavour and you can put on your finger. I like the non-greasy, light puffed corn feel and the flavour was strong but tasty. The shapes are a bit novel – noughts and crosses – but you probably wouldn’t play a game with them as your brother would eat your pieces.
All in all, yes, I’d buy them. And healthy. So good
