Tayto spices it up
Beloved crisp brand Tayto has released two new flavours of its crisps inspired by New York deli sandwiches: beef brisket and Philly cheesesteak. Both flavours are limited edition, but if you can get your hands on a pack you're in for a treat - the brisket is jam-packed with slow-cooked, BBQ beef flavour, while the cheesesteak gives you the very best of steak along with a healthy helping of cream cheese. As well as these two new crisp flavours, Tayto has also launched a new snack: Tayto Cheesatees. These light, puffy bites are super cheesy and have a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
These new Tatyo snacks are available now at stores around the country.
That's a wrap!
One of the best gluten-free bakery brands on the market, BFree, has launched a new selection of wraps. The new wraps continue the brand's commitment to gluten-free products that taste delicious and are super nutritious. Priced from €3.99 for a four-pack, these wraps are now available from Dunnes Stores around the country and are perfect for everyone, not just those avoiding gluten.

Join a virtual Easter egg hunt with Cadbury
Another Easter in lockdown is about to roll around, but Cadbury has launched the Cadbury Worldwide Hide to help you hide an Easter egg anywhere in the world for someone you love. The idea is to help connect people across Ireland and the world through the power of generosity.
Using Google Maps Street View, the hider can share a personalised clue that will mean something special to the recipient. When the recipient finds the virtual egg, there is the option for a real Cadbury Easter Egg to be delivered to their door. Hiders will also have a ‘Free to Play’ option, which will allow them to hide a Cadbury Easter Egg for someone they love on Cadbury World Wide Hide, for free.
The Cadbury Worldwide Hide site is now open until March 29th - click here for more info.
