Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Squares: [New] Honeycomb Crunch (Sainsburys) [By @Cinabar]



My sweet tooth means that I have a bit of a soft spot for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Squares. I tend to have them in place of a cereal bar at breakfast, I can just handle that level of sweetness overload first thing in a morning, I think of it as a skill!
I was excited to see a new variety of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Squares on the shelves, and couldn’t resist picking up a pack. . I got them as part of a multipack in the supermarket, but suspect they will soon be available singularly too. The new flavour is Honeycomb Crunch, and it comes in an impressive orange packet
Once I opened up the wrapper, the bar too looked golden, more so that the other Krispies Squares in the range. There was still a nice drizzle of chocolate on the top, but there was plenty of Crunchie style pieces mixed in too. It was a little difficult to identify exactly where they were hiding, unless you looked closely, as they were rather well camouflaged in all the golden goodness.
The texture had a nice crunch from the cinder toffee topping, and the rice krispies gave the bar a firm feel. There was still the lovely sticky texture you would expect, just with a bit of substance from the honeycomb crunch.
The flavour is sweet and golden, lots of brown sugar, golden syrup and caramel tones throughout, which I loved, and it worked with the chocolate perfectly.
It’s a sweet bar, but then I expected that even before I opened up the packet. I thoroughly enjoyed the bar, and it is a lovely new addition to the range.
