The Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Bites are a newly announced snack product from the brand focused on capturing the fan-favorite flavor of the namesake cereal and incorporating it into a crave-worthy snack. The snack is achieved with a crunchy, pillow-like exterior that's filled with a nut butter-like filling that helps to provide a smoothness for a perfectly balanced texture experience. The snack is being launched in the UK at major supermarkets now in 375-gram boxes that retail for £2.99 each.
Sensor Brand Activation Manager at Kellogg's UK&I Susann Heinz spoke on the new Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Bites saying, "Crunchy Nut Bites are the newest addition to the range, following on from the launch of the granola last year and Nut Butter Bars earlier this month. We understand the cereal has a huge fan base, so we’re continuously looking for ways to expand our offering and to meet our consumers’ needs. We are sure Crunchy Nut lovers will enjoy our latest innovation."
