Kids snack brand launches two new flavours costing just 33p each – and they're perfect for lunch boxes
A POPULAR kids snack brand has launched two brand new flavours, with each lunchbox treat costing just 33p.

And although food prices are skyrocketing, thankfully there are still some budget-friendly options for money conscious parents.
Kids' snack brand Whaoo! has launched two new delicious treats for chocolate fans.
Snack lovers can now get their hands on Chocolate and Banana Filled Crêpes and bite-sized Mini Chocolate Chip Brioche Buns.
The two products come in packs of six, costing £1.95 at Tesco and Asda, making each snack just 33p.
The tiny tasty treats are perfect for popping into kids lunchboxes, and can be enjoyed on the go on extra busy days.
Whaoo! said: "Whether it's a snack for after school activities, a companion for weekend adventures or a delightful lunchbox surprise, both newly launched products are individually wrapped for convivence and parents can trust the sweet treats to provide a delicious quick fix when tummies start to rumble."
'We're thrilled to be expanding our range with two new snacks", said ean-Pascal Allemand, Managing Director at Whaoo!
"Our Chocolate & Banana Filed Crêpes put a sweet spin on our much-loved original, and we're especially excited to introduce our Mini Chocolate Chip Brioche Bun – a brand-new style of snack that's just as convenient and delicious.
"Whether it's for the school run, sports club, or weekend outings, Whaoo! has families covered with snacks that parents trust, and kids love.'
This comes after a major supermarket began selling viral "angel hair" chocolate, which left some shoppers disgusted.

The Viele Angel Hair Strawberry Flavour Chocolate is now available at Morrisons, and the unusual looking snack is dividing customers.
The pink Turkish chocolate bar is filled with pistachio cream and green cotton candy, with the inside resembling human hair.
Morrisons posted a video of the new product to its Instagram page this week, writing: "The viral Angel Hair chocolate bar has officially landed in stores... have you tried it yet?"
But many customers appeared to be revolted by the sweet treat, with one responding: "Eww are you meant to eat that?"
What the NHS recommends children have for lunch:
The NHS gives a number of suggestions and guidelines on their Chnage4Life website.
Base the lunchbox on foods like bread, rice, pasta and potatoes - wholegrain ideally - too keep kids fuller for longer
If your child isn't keen on wholegrain, try making sandwiches with one slice of white and one slice of wholemeal bread
Try to keep lunchboxes interesting by using a variety of shapes like bagels, pittas and wraps
Make food fun as lunches can be more exciting if the child has to put them together, like having foods for dipping and makes a change from sandwiches every day.
Opt for low fat foods, like lean meats or fish.
Cut down on the amount of spreads you put into sandwiches
Always add a bit of salad and vegetables to the meal
Cut down on the crisps
Chop up some fruit or peal satsuamas and add those instead of sweets
Cheese can be high in fat and salt so pick strong tasting ones or go for low-fat varieties
Get the kids involved in making the lunch - they'll be more likely to eat it if they helped make it
Another said it looked "vile", while one shopper asked: "Is that supposed to be edible? It looks awful?"
The Sun recently revealed Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk Iced Latte bar this summer.
The new bar blends its classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces.
The chocolate brand is also introducing four limited-edition Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars, complete with unique packaging designed for the 53% of Brits who, according to the brand's survey, enjoy their chocolate chilled.
This packaging changes its appearance when cooled, thanks to special thermochromic technology, revealing bright, summery designs.
The new chocolate bars will hit the shelves this month and will be available throughout the summer period for £2 a piece.
