Why my little monkey loves Hoops & Crosses

Posted on

0 Comments

I am always trying to find good, honest snacks for my children .... you know the ones that they will actually eat, so when I was asked to try the new Walkers Hoops and Crosses, I jumped at the chance to try something new.
 
Now I have to admit something here, *whispers*, I didn't actually get to taste them! My girls devoured them before I even got a look in. I was in awe of the funky monkey gift that came with our trial pack and too busy reading the literature, so I feel the need to share my new found knowledge ....
  • Each bag has 85 calories 
  • Hoops and Crosses are made from 56% wholegrains and have no artificial colours or preservatives 
  • A healthy balanced diet should include wholegrain but some 27% of children in the UK don't get any at all! 

I was shocked at those statistics but judging by my daughter's demolition of them, I won't have to worry about their lack of wholegrain with the Hoops & Crosses. My youngest daughter has always had organic "crisps" from the baby range but has never been a huge fan of the subtle flavours, whereas with the Hoops & Crosses, you could see that she was delighted by the Roast Beef flavour. The girls have only tried the Roast Beef flavour so far but there are Salt & Vinger and Prawn Cocktail flavours too, so I am sure that we will be purchasing those on our next shopping trip.

Hoops & Crosses

All in all, they get a big thumbs up in our house ..... and as for the monkey, well he is sitting on top of one of our kitchen cupboards, reminding us all to add Hoops & Crosses to our shopping list as they are perfect for lunch boxes too!

Disclaimer : We were sent one packed of Hoops & Crosses to review and have been paid a small fee for our time. Even without this payment, we would recommend Hoops and Crosses regardless.
