I recently bought a load of different flavoured Snack A Jacks from Asda on a 5 packs for £2.00 offer, making them 40p per pack rather than around 48p per pack.

I enjoy Snack A Jacks but have tended to stick to the same flavours, Prawn and Salt & Vinegar, so thought that this would be a good way of trying the other available flavours.

A 26g pack contains 106 calories and 1.6g of fat. They are not suitable for vegetarians as they contain animal rennet. They are suitable for coeliacs.

Opening the pack I am met with an almost bacon-like smell, but rather the smell of bacon flavouring than of real meat. The moulded rounds of puffed rice are a little bigger than a fifty pence piece.

On taste they actually reminded me of bacon frazzles with a slight hint of barbeque. They are tasty enough but do lack filling-ness-ability, though they do seem to take the edge off my hunger. I found that there was quite a lot of the seasoning/flavouring at the bottom of the packet where it had not been evenly distributed across the rice snacks, so some of them were a bit pale in places rather than the orangey colour they flavouring gives them.

Overall, I enjoyed these as a snack. They are still not among my top flavours but I would definitely buy them again.
