Cheetos Flamin' Hot

Cheetos are a major brand in America, and I am pretty certain that they used to exist here in the UK a good while ago, I vaguely remember them being advertised when I was little but I may be wrong… Anyway, they have been relaunched here and I was excited to discover that the ‘Flaming Hot’ flavour appear to be suitable for vegans.

Maize , Rapeseed Oil , Flamin' Hot Flavour [Flavourings (contains Soya, Wheat), Sugar, Flavour Enhancers (Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium 5'Ribonucleotide), Fructose, Salt, Dried Onion, Soya Sauce Powder (contains Wheat), Hydrolysed Soya Protein, Dried Garlic, Colour (Paprika Extract)] .

I really enjoyed these, they were softer than Wotsists and melted in your mouth, the flavour was nice because it wasn't too spicy but there was enough heat to add interest to them, it was more of a warming quality and I really enjoyed that, as did my Mother. Thankfully they never stained your hands or left much of a smell on them (a massive pet peeve of mine!)
Overall I think that these are a really nice snack to have, lots of taste and few calories l they are perfect for those on a diet (my mum insisted that I let everyone know that they are only 2 pro points on Weight Watchers).

M&S Apple Crisps

I am a fruit lover, I mean I seriously love fruit. It makes me happy and it makes up about 2/3 of my diet. I have it in many different forms; fruit in juice, dried fruit, frozen fruit, and regular fruit. So it was only a matter of time before I tried the Marks & Spencer's dried Apple crisps. These are thinly sliced apples baked in an oven with just a little bit of lemon juice on them to stop them from browning (I think). They are totally healthy, full of goodness and most importantly, they taste great! The flavour is strongly of apple, just as it should be. There is nothing artificial about this and the crunch is fantastic, they are so crisp, far superior than when I attempted to make my own which some how managed to be simultaneously burnt and uncooked... As you can guess they were pretty awful and went straight in the bin.
Anyway, overall I really enjoyed these as an addition to my lunch, it was a nice variation on my normal popcorn, they are quite pricey but to be honest you are paying for quality so they are worth the price tag.

Kettle Chips Baked Variety

I'm not really the biggest crisp lover but I do have a soft spot for Kettle Chips as they are so crunchy and just delicious so when I saw this new healthier version of Kettle Chips I picked up a bag of each flavour. 
The flavours were very good, sometimes I think with lower fat crisps they can be a little boring or muted in flavour but these certainly weren't, they were as crunchy and as flavoursome as the regular fried version and I would recommend them not only to those watching their weight but anyone who is a fan of tasty, crunchy crisps! I really enjoyed them, the chilli ones had a nice kick to them that wasn't overwhelming or too spicy that they became uncomfortable to eat. 
Overall I would definitely buy these again, I look forward to the other future flavours that they will bring out in this range

Cinnamon Pringles

When I heard about these new cinnamon Pringles I was intrigued to say the very least, a sweet crisp, quite bizarre yet a good concept as sweet and savoury is becoming an ever increasing food trend
Upon opening the pack I was greeted with the slight smell of sweet cinnamon, I was ever so slightly nervous as I took my first bite as I didn't really have any idea what to expect.
The taste was nice although a little strange as the still had that signature potato Pringle taste to them. They actually reminded me of the cereal Cinnamon Graham's or are they called Curiously Cinnamon now, I'm not too sure but either way what I am trying to say is that they are nice enough and worth a try but they aren't a taste sensation that will leave you wanting more.
