Snack A Jacks Gets the Trinny & Susannah Treatment!!
April 8th, 2008 by nicolar
Snack A Jacks were lucky to take part in one of the hottest fashion events of the year Style in the City Birmingham . If you were one of the lucky ones who also got tickets you may have seen us at the Trinny & Susannah Style Academy.
Hope you enjoyed munching on our tasty Chocolate popcorn and Salt & Vinegar popcorn while you watched Trinny and Sue point out the outrageous fashion crimes of unsuspecting members of the audience!
I went along to see if I could pick up any style tips! Here’s what I learned..
- Us girls really are letting ourselves down by not knowing how to make the most of our curves and body shapes!
- About 90% of us are not wearing the correct bra size. The virtue of a good fitting bra can apparently do wonders for the perfect rack and waist!
- No matter how short your legs are you can’t go wrong with 4″ inch wedge to give the illusion of length
- If you opt for the BIG PANTS (you know the ones I mean) to flatten the tummy area – go for a size smaller than you usually buy as this will enhance the effect!
- Don’t hide your wobbly bits under baggy clothes as this just makes you look 2 sizes bigger than you are. Apparently we should be buying clothes that are fitted and accentuate the curves and small waist!
If any of you have any fashion advice/tips you’d like to share we’d love to hear it! Just add a comment below…

Well it is so-long for now from me as I move on from Snack A Jacks towers to do the most exhausting yet fulfilling job in the world: I became a mummy to baby Freddy a couple of weeks ago so I am hanging up my Snack A Jacks shoes and passing them over to the very capable Jenny & Nicola who are taking over all things Snack A Jacks from now on.

Leaping lizards, it’s a leap year!
February 19th, 2008 by nicolar
February 29 is nearly here – which means it must be a leap year. OK, so it might not exactly be a “free day” – but imagine if it was…what would you be getting up to? Spa day? Out with your chums? Proposing to your man? That’s right – when the rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to pop the question on one day every four years. So if there are any girls out there who’s thinking about going down on one knee, let us know! We won’t spoil the surprise, honest…!
We heart you!
February 19th, 2008 by nicolar

So we’ve got some ace DVD and CD bundles up for grabs - don’t forget to check out our brilliant competition: just visit our Bored pages for your chance to enter. The comp is running until the end of the month so don’t miss out!

February 19th, 2008 by nicolar
Jane in our sales team was looking for a kit sponsor for her team of lovely ladies from Guildford Hockey Club. At less than 10% fat Snack a Jacks was the perfect partner and a far tastier half time treat than oranges !
We think they look fabulous in their new gear and we’re looking forward to seeing them lift the Surrey cup in it !
Go Guildford !!
Adding to your love of Caramel

It is so simple to jazz up your favourite Snackajacks. Just add some toppings, what could be harder than that?
And to get you going we have added some ideas for you below.
Why don’t you let us know which recipes/toppings you like or send in your own.
You never know we just might feature them here.
So to get you off to a flier try these:
- Low fat mascarpone topped with either sliced peaches or blueberries
- Grated apple and sprinkling of cinnamon
- Low fat cream cheese or Quark mixed with teaspoon of lemon curd and a sprinkle of chocolate (ooohhhh - mini lemon cheesecake!)
Something for the BBQ?
November 26th, 2007 by admin
Adding toppings to the BBQ Jumbo Rice Cakes is so simple and will make those evenings around the actually BBQ such a pleasure.
Here are a couple of suggestions:
- Chicken pieces mixed with low fat mayo & sprinkle of paprika
- Grated low fat cheddar & chopped tomato
- Low fat cream cheese, sliced cucumber & a sprinkle of black pepper
Think you have something better than the recipes above? Or you just want to let us know your thoughts, like how much paprika to really get a kick.
Pick up your keyboard and get writing.
Cheese Jumbo Rice Cake recipes
November 26th, 2007 by admin
Variety is the spice of life…some say.
Our Jumbo rice cakes are a tasty & filling snack any time of the day and can be enjoyed naked (the rice cakes, not you!) or with a range of mouth watering toppings. Here our some of our favourite suggestions for making a meal of your Jumbos:
- Add slices of low fat mozzarella with tomato & fresh basil leaves, simplicity in itself. How much tomato and basil is up to you
- A dollop of low fat cream cheese mixed with fresh chives (from your garden or the shop) and topped with slithers of ham. Enough to make any mouth water
- This one you will either love or hate: Again start with some low fat cream cheese but this time add a spread of marmite
Do you have any more to offer? Do you think we are missing out on something we shouldn’t be?
…Then come on: share you thoughts, recipes (good and the strange)
We want to hear from you
