The Jacob's [Mini Cheddars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-cheddars-nibblies) are showing off a new series of flavors to provide consumers with a way to satisfy their snack cravings and enjoy impressive taste experiences this winter. The snack features the brand's signature miniature crackers that are baked with real cheese and come in two new flavors including Cheese & Red Onion and Cream Cheese, Garlic & Herb. The snacks are both slated to start hitting store shelves February 3, 2025 with [Sainsbury's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nairns-marmite-cheese-oatcakes) slated to start receiving stock ahead of additional retailers in the near-future.

Marketing Manager Kate Stokes spoke on the new Jacob's Mini Cheddars saying, "These new additions are deigned for younger shoppers seeking bold, trending flavours, which in turn drive incremental sales. It follows a strong track record of successful flavour additions to the [Jacob’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacobs-cheesy-specials) Mini Cheddars line-up. We know Mini Cheddars fans love a new flavour as much as we do, and we’re always listening."
