Kettle Bites Mozzarella & Pesto Lentil Curls

Here's another new little bag of Kettle Bites. And this one has a whole 2 calories extra compared to the Maple Barbecue Waves. 2 whole calories? Amazing. Mind you, there do seem to be a lot more lentil curls than you get waves.

I rather like lentil curls as a crispy snack shape. They really do seem to work well with a good crunch and a great shape. But I'm not so sure about the flavour here. I don't terribly like pesto (I always feel I ought to like it and keep trying but I just discover yet again that I don't, much) and these curls do seem to be particularly pesto-tasty. Not sure the mozzarella shines through.

However, that didn't stop me quite enjoying this tasty little snack. And certainly none of the reluctant taste testers had any reservations; or none that they voiced. Extremely Senior Volunteer taste tester seemed particularly fetched.

Not bad, then? Yup. Not bad at all. Better yet if you like pesto.
And yes, since you asked, this is another road trip find.

Kettle Bites Maple Barbecue Wholegrain Waves

Road trip! Again. Or perhaps, still.

Yes another small packet of crispy snacks found somewhere on the crowded roads of England. And look! Only 95 calories in this bag. Hmmn... could that be because there are only about 10 wholegrain waves in this 22g packet? The waves are quite big and the packet quite small.

Quite a nice crunch, quite barbecuey, but the reluctant taste testers all thought this a very sweet crispy snack. I little bit too sweet. And the packet image of maple syrup dripping off the waves (which you don't actually get) really does tell you all about the sweetness. Not sure there was any obviously herby flavouring going on - but perhaps we would have noticed if it wasn't in the recipe?

If you like other wavy snacks such as this Honey Barbecue one from M&S you might like to try this Maple Barbecue snack for a change.

We seem doomed lately to try maple syrup flavour stuff. It must be the season for it.
