Like Marmite, Twiglets are a snack that you either love or hate. Twiglets are a snack food that, as the name suggests, looks like little sticks or twigs. Twiglets are crunchy yet extremely knobbly, whole-wheat sticks. They have a slightly salty taste of burnt yeast. It is indescribable, yet extremely morish. If a bag is opened, I have to eat the lot!
How do you define a ‘Snack’? There are many different schools of thought about what a snack really is. One of the most recognised definitions is that a snack is any food consumed outside of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alternatively, it is defined as a selection of small items eaten to replace traditional meals. Whatever the name and time of the snacks, ‘snacks’ can be part of a healthy life style. It can help the daily calorie intake to be kept at an adequate when people eat smaller meals. As expected, the consumption of snacks in addition to appropriate daily calorie intake will lead to an increase in body weight. Twiglets are oven backed to be delicious and wholesome and are 89 % Fat Free. Great in any calorie controlled diet. A small bag on the Weight Watchers diet is only 1˝ points!

Try experimenting with Twiglets. There are many fun food combinations out there, so try your own but one word of warning, be sure to have a glass of water to hand. You many require it!
*Twiglets servings suggestion* (Try them at your own peril!)
a) Twiglets and Ice cream (Yummy, I really loved it but there again I love to dip French Fries in Whippy ice cream too!)
b) I was told this idea from a friend at college: Try A liberal amount of Twiglets wrapped in a Kraft cheese slice. (Yuck, I hate cheese!)
*Alternative uses for Twiglets* 1) Alternative birthday candles. 2) A book mark. (Ideal if you get a taste for the munches whilst in the middle of a chapter!) 3) Chopsticks 4) Pick-up sticks (Ideal at parties). 5) Swizzle sticks. 6) Toothpicks (NB: may not be effective!). 7) To peg up tired eyes instead of matchsticks!
Other flavours now include Worcester Sauce, Spicy and now Curry flavours, but for me, the original flavour remains the best ever! I wonder what flavour will be next?
