I had thought that I had found 'the one' - crisp flavour that is! McCoys crisps have always been a firm favourite of mine and for a long time 'Grilled Steak' was always my favourite flavour. HOWEVER, today I tried their 'Sizzling Bacon' ones which I had never tried before.

Upon opening the bag, I am greeted with a yummy smoky smell. It is such an 'inviting' smell that just screams 'eat me'.

Taking a bite; Mmm! A lovely smoky taste. Even though I am a vegetarian - I do love these great crisps. They are suitable for vegetarians which is great. So I can still get that smoky bacon taste without having to eat meat.
I think that these crisps are much better than Walker's Smoky Bacon because there is a lot more flavour and I think because these crisps are chunky and crinkled - it brings the flavour out. They are incredibly moreish.

One thing I do find is that these crisps are quite greasy and so sometimes I get a bit thirsty after eating them.

I find that these crisps are very filling. When I eat Walkers (or come to think of it, any other brand of crisps) I always feel that I need something else with them, when I am eating them as a snack. However, these are very filling which is good.

Each bag will set you back 165 calories which does sound a lot and not great if you are on a low-calorie diet. There is 0.8g of sugar and 0.5g of salt per bag. As for fat, there is 9.7g of fat, 0.9g of which is saturated. So all in all, not the healthiest of crisps...but they must be the tastiest.

I consider these crisps to be quite luxurious especially when compared to other crisps. I would definitely recommend them with Christmas coming.

Be warned, these crisps do repeat on you quite a bit! I would still definetely recommend them though!

Thanks for reading!
