What was that snack you had?

Having typed my first 6 days diary, I realised there will be some products etc not recognised by everyone ... especially those outside the UK ... so I'll add some info here.

The story so far is ...

Go Ahead Strawberry Crispy Slices

These come in individual serving packs, with three biscuits in each.  A slightly glazed pastry outer, with dried fruit inside.  The Go Ahead range is designed for the healthy eating/diet conscious.  Each slice apparently has 50 calories, so a pack is 150.

Graze punnets

Graze is a mail order snacks company - you tell them what kind of things you like from their very long list, and they ship out a box with four punnets in, at whatever schedule you wish.  They're maybe a little pricey if you look at it by weight value only, but the variety is worth it, especially as there's always a freebie introductory offer.  All the snacks are pretty healthy, being mainly dried fruits, nuts and crackers, with the occasional chocolate button or such ... think trail mix type foods.  I just weighed the two punnets I currently have unopened, and they come in at around 50g each, which I'd say is pretty average.

(this picture isn't mine by the way - I found it through Google when I was trying to find something showing the scale/size of punnet - it came from here ... http://skinny-wish.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/graze-day-top-tip-get-your-first-graze.html ... a blog I may well start reading)


Go Ahead Chocolate Orange Thins

Like the Crispy Slices, but with a thin layer of milk chocolate on the top.  because of this, you only get two biscuits, not three, in a pack (73 calories per biscuit).  these are very moreish, but I'm already fighting my kids for them, so not much chance of me overdoing them  *chuckles*

Wagon Wheels 

Two biscuits, squished together with a layer of marshmallow, then totally coated in chocolate.  As the name suggest, they're big - about 3.5" in diameter - and a bit of a nostalgia trip if I'm honest.  

Frosted Shreddies

Like it says on the box  *chuckles*

Herby Chicken

Not a snack, but thought I'd mention it ... there's no nasties, all natural ingredients, and very tasty too.

Wafer Flutes

The brand and flavour changes depending on the local Pound Shop stocks, but this is what I mean when I mention them.

Fingerella Cakes

As the name suggests, they're about finger sized, and sadly very moreish.  They also come in fruit and chocolate chip varieties. 

Ginger Nut Slices

Gingernut biscuit base, bit like the bottom of a cheesecake, with a chocolate layer on top.

Fruit Bowl Yogurt Coated Fruit Flakes

Not quite flakes, more like small reformed lumps of fruit, about the size of small raisins.  If I'm honest, they're only one step away from confectionery, but nice all the same.

Nutrigrain Breakfast Biscuits

Very moreish ... crunchy, with a good strong chocolate flavour .. perfect for nibbling at on the move, or if you're a dunker, they'd go well with your morning tea/coffee.

Metcalfe's Skinny Topcorn - Chocolate Crackle

Fruit Nut and Seed mix

Sometimes I make my own mixes, sometimes I use pre-packed ... this is one of the prepacked ones.
