Smiths Frazzles review

Now many people will think that I am mad but I have always found bacon flavoured snacks a bit over rated. I think that this is mainly due to the artificial Smokey flavour that usually comes with bacon snacks. I do however remember having Frazzles when I was younger and finding them quite addictive. These are crispy bacon corn snacks that are made by SMITHS which is a British-Australian company.

I opened the pack and was hit with a strong bacon smell but it wasn't overly "Smokey" which was my main worry. The crisps themselves looked like small bacon rashers with dark red stripes going down them. They had a light and crunchy texture which is common of these corn type crisps and although there weren't a huge amount in the bag this is probably because they were from multi-pack.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by these crisps. They had a strong bacon flavour that wasn't too artificial which made these surprisingly moreish. They were crunchy and salty and as soon as I tasted the first crisp I remembered why I enjoyed them throughout my childhood. These were nothing earth shatteringly amazing but they were tasty and comforting and gave me a warm nostalgic feeling. If like me it has been a while since you had your last bag of Frazzles, you might be surprised at how much you enjoy them if you pick up a bag.
