The Lyle’s Golden Syrup Flapjacks are the brand's first foray into the snacking category to provide consumers in the UK with a way to extend their love from the brand's signature syrup to other areas of their diet.
The flapjack snack bars are crafted with rolled oats and the brand's classic golden syrup to give them a gooey consistency that's perfect for consumers with a penchant for softer indulgences. The bars are rolling out in five-serving multipacks in the UK this month into Ocado and Sainsbury's starting this month.
Marketing Director Nick James commented on the Lyle’s Golden Syrup Flapjacks saying, "For a century and a half, Lyle’s has added fun and flavour to the kitchen cupboards of households across the UK. Now, we’re making it easier for consumers to enjoy Lyle’s on the go, with a major launch for the brand into the ambient snack category.”
