    We received the pizza twirls and my son loved them. We have also tried the chicken ones now as well and properly prefers them more than the pizza. I like the sizing as they fit really well in his lunch box where as with potato sticks they take up a lot more room. I like the little monster vege that is on the front and that the nutritional information is really clear and easy to understand. They have now become a regular in my sons lunch.

    My 3yo daughter said “spicy” but continued eating…. I really need to get the chicken one because I think she would love it!
    They are quite spicy for small mouths…. but thanks for the opportunity to try!

    My kids really enjoyed these. They loved the flavour, we had pizza, but to be honest it was a it much for me, too strong and salty.
    But the kids loved them and we had them in lunchboxes for a Friday treat. Nice to have a treat not full of fat, but would prefer less salt and less packaging. However the kids loved the packets! For kindy they prefer nude food so I emptied the contents into my sons lunchbox and there were loads of twists.
    Thanks for the trial!

    Thank you for letting us trial the pizza flavour. My sons are 9 and 11. Unfortunately they did not like them at all so we have passed these on some kids that do.

    My twelve year old finally got the chance to try these (only just, the last packet!) and I was surprised to learn that she loved them! She is very much a chippie muncher, but she said she’d happily eat these instead – said they were a bit different to what you expect in the first mouthful, but once you are used to them, they’re yum! I’m glad she has found a slightly healthier alternative to the oil laden snack of preference. She did question the ethics around plastic packets though – something the older kids are definitely conscious of these days. We had the pizza flavour, both my kids are very keen to try the chicken as well… so I’d say that’s a win for us with this product! Thanks so much for the opportunity to trial this product, we will buy them again, hopefully Healtheries will come up with a better packing solution soon 🙂

    We have received our Pizza Twirls, and Miss Two thinks they’re delicious.
    Our daughter gets soo excited when we get a packet out for her and always asks for more.
    I love that these are a healthier alternative to potato chips, but still a treat food.

    Do dislike how much plastic is involved in products like this however and would prefer the outer packaging to be paper or perhaps a cardboard box, I understand the plastic for the actual chip bags (but still not a fan..)

    I tried the twirls myself and didn’t particularly like them, the taste (and shape) made it seem a bit like a weird crunchy pasta. This is probably a good thing as it means they’re lasting for my daughter a bit longer than if I was eating them too. 😀
    I have tried the chicken flavour and much prefer that over these pizza ones (with other products its usually the other way around for me).

    All in all we would definitely consider buying these again in the future as a healthier option/treat for the kids.

    We received the pizza flavour Twirls and my children really liked the flavour and are keen to try the chicken as well. My husband and I also had a sneaky little try and we were quite keen on the taste as well. They are a really great size for a small snack or for lunch boxes. I like that they are 50% less fat with no preservatives or added MSG so a big thumbs up from me. I think they are a healthier alternative to potato chips and we’ll definitely be buying these in the future.

  8. Chantal Heaney 01/09/2019 at 5:55 pm

    We received the pizza flavour. They packs are handy little portions, easy for little hands to open easily on their own. Perfect size and an healthy little snack for school lunchboxes. Two of my boys liked them and would happily love to see them in their lunchboxes. My older child didn’t enjoy them at all, didn’t like the taste. Overall i would happily purchase in the future.

  9. Katiecbe 01/09/2019 at 1:29 pm

    Both of my kids loved these! They are perfect as a snack in the nappy bag for my one year old and great as a lunc box snack for my 6 year old. They loved the pizza flavour! Great that they are healthier than your average chips too. Will definitely be buying them in the future

  10. WilliamsMummy 01/09/2019 at 1:16 pm

    We were very lucky to be chosen for this review! Yummo. We love these in our house. As well as the potato sticks and wheelies too but these by far are the equal favorite to the sticks now 😀 they are so good that I tend to find myself sneaking a pack or two 😉 tasty stuff! Nom nom nom

  11. jmac 01/09/2019 at 12:13 pm

    Thank you for the opportunity to trial these, I personally love them – we got the pizza flavour. Mr 6 likes them but unfortunately Miss 9 doesn’t (we might try the other flavour for her though as the pizza flavour is quite strong). I like a healthier snack so these will defiantley be used.

  12. yeye wu 01/09/2019 at 11:48 am

    Sooooooo lucky to get this wonderful chance to taste the Twirls in Pizza Flavour. My two kids loved it. They said it tastes like peperoni pizza which is their favourite. My son found it is interesting, because it looks like a broken gun. But my daughter thinks its shape is exactlly same as macaroni cheese. They both feel it is a bit salty. The best part is crunchy in their mouths. Really good to take as a perfect snack.

  13. Jafajay 01/09/2019 at 7:16 am

    We were fortunate to be chosen to try this new product.
    The packaging is bright and easy to open.
    Unfortunately my children didn’t like the taste.
    They are more plain or salt and vinegar flavor products.
    However I did enjoy them so I would recommend if your child likes Pizza flavor give them a go.

    • Charline 01/09/2019 at 11:20 pm

      My children really liked them which is amazing as they are pretty fussy lol
      So will definitely be buying them for there lunches in the future

  14. Meeyah855 01/09/2019 at 6:54 am

    We recieved the pizza flavoured ones to try. Both my boys loved them and my 6 year old is enjoying having them as an alternative in the lunchbox for school and afternoon tea. It makes a nice healthy change to the typical chip packet that is available and I have already converted a friend to using the Healtheries oven baked twirls for her children.

  15. nwoodford 01/09/2019 at 6:13 am

    We recieved the pizza flavour to try.
    The packaging was attractive – kids noticed the packet in the pantry immediatly and wanted to try them. The individual packets were quite full and my 6 year old had no trouble opening them at school. They would be a great addition to lunch boxes, only trouble in our household, 3 year old is currently dairy free – which these twirls are not , and 6 year old didn’t like the taste at all. So unfortunately twirls are not for us, however I would recommend other families give them a go as they would be a nice change – something different to put in lunchboxes if your kids liked them.

  16. T-A 01/09/2019 at 12:07 am

    Both my kids described these as “yum” and “can I have another packet?” The main complaint was that the packets were too small. I think they are good for younger kids maybe pre-school, but for primary school aged, particularly Mr 10, the package sizing was not sufficient. The advertising on the outside about the low saturated fat was a little mis-leading when you check the back of the packet to calculate the total fat. But other than that, yum yum, tasty treat.

  17. cherrydbp 31/08/2019 at 9:04 pm

    We received the pizza flavour & my toddler just finished a pack within 2 min! This made me curious about how it tasted by ‘stealing’ from him, it was just so yummy! My toddler loves vege so the Healtheries Oven Baked Twirls have been my best option for snack on the go. I also love the fact that the chips are oven baked, not fried. It would be nice to try the Chicken flavor too. Thanks Healtheries!

  18. vicstars 31/08/2019 at 8:53 pm

    We received the pizza flavour. The kids really enjoyed them. They were a great size for a morning tea snack at school or an on the go snack for the younger ones. We have brought them since. The kids were happy with the pizza flavour so we haven’t tried the chicken yet.

  19. Glenfelik 31/08/2019 at 5:30 pm

    Thanks so much Kidspot, we were lucky enough to received and taste test the Pizza flavour. Both kids really enjoyed this flavour – we have since purchased chicken and they didn’t enjoy them at all.

    Love the fact that they have less fat, also a great portion size in the packet too.

    They will become a new staple in our purchasing habits. Most likely they would replace the likes of the potato sticks which the kids now see as for little children.

  20. Popitteddy 31/08/2019 at 4:54 pm

    We received the pizza flavour in my house and within 5 mins of the product being here both the toddler and husband were in them. There is was a fair amount of twists in each packet which surprised me as most packs are full of air but with these they were full of twists. I would highly recommend these to any parent or adult that is looking for something different as a snack instead of chippies.

  21. Nilofa 31/08/2019 at 4:36 pm

    We recieved the pizza flavour. It’s great for lunch box snack and tastes great. My son takes one to school everyday. I even tried it and it tastes healthy. But it seems to stick teeth and does not come of easily.

    • Ambnev12 31/08/2019 at 6:14 pm

      We were fortunate and received the Pizza flavour, great alternative to use in my 2 year olds lunch box, he loved the flavor. The packet size was very user friendly and packed full rather than mostly air compared with other similar products. Thanks Kidspot!

  22. Kyliescott 31/08/2019 at 3:45 pm

    We received the pizza flavor kids all hated it so i went and bought the chicken flavor and that was a big hit in our house!! Kids all loved chicken

  23. Annazteam 31/08/2019 at 3:43 pm

    We were lucky enough to receive the pizza flavour. One of our girls loved them in their school lunches, great for afternoon tea on the go and nibbles. A great amount in each bag, lovely crunchy texture, and great getting the extra veges into them. The youngest daughter said she would eat them but they not her favourite, didn’t really like the flavour.

  24. Zuz0605 31/08/2019 at 3:40 pm

    Thank you for giving us an opportunity to try the Twirls. Both of my boys love the twirls and take them to school. My 9y old prefers the pizza flavour and my 12y old prefers the chicken flavour. The both commented that these snacks are a nice change from the usual chips and I feel good about the fact that they are oven baked rather than fried. Will be buying these from now on. Thanks 🙂

  25. mwilton 31/08/2019 at 3:17 pm

    We received the pizza flavour, and they were a hit with 2 out of 3 kids- I quite enjoyed them too! I found sharing them between 2 lunchboxes gave them a good amount that they would actually eat, as I find with a lot of packet food, they often don’t finish the whole pack. I’d be keen to try the other flavour next time we go shopping 🙂

  26. Hina 31/08/2019 at 3:08 pm

    We got the pizza flavour and omg my 4 year old loved it so much she asked for a 2nd. And that’s saying something as shes such a fussy eater. We still have 2 packs to go but I’ve hidden them from her as I seem to love them more then she does. The crunch and the flavour is just too yum to be missed out on. Thank you so much for this opportunity to trial such a great product. This will definitely be kn our next grocery shopping list

  27. Misskay80 31/08/2019 at 1:22 pm

    Thank you for the opportunity to trial these, both miss 3 and 4 love the healtheries potato sticks so were excited to try these. Unfortunately they weren’t a hit, miss 4 tried a few before declaring they were yucky. Miss 3 tried hard to like them but after half a packet decided she had enough. We trialed the pizza ones so could of just been they weren’t fond of the flavour. I tried a few, and wasn’t that fussed on the flavour. Think we will stick to the potato sticks. We gave the remainder packets to a few friends who enjoyed them.

  28. Megank_b 31/08/2019 at 1:17 pm

    My kids LOVE Healtheries Oven Baked Twirls in Pizza flavour. The best bit is they are dairy free. So hard I find pizza flavour df. They are their favourite crisp type lunch box snack,
    The flavours are great, not too intense or salty. Their crunch is great and packet size is perfect.

  29. Ashleyroberts 31/08/2019 at 12:58 pm

    My 2.5 yr old loved these! They have a decent amount in the packet unlike bluebird chips, my daughter ate them all then asked for another packet i quite liked them too, great healthier snack

  30. Shorrty4life1 31/08/2019 at 10:06 am

    We were delighted to get to trial the pizza flavor. My son absolutely loved them he enjoyed with in his school lunches everyday until they ran out. But my daughter on the other hand did not like them she said they were flavorless so I had a taste. They weren’t too bad but I agree they could do with more flavor added to them. My husband ate a bag also and he thought they were okay. I found them nice and light to eat not too filling. I would definitely buy again for my son but think we will try chicken next time as my daughter loves chicken chips so she may have just not been keen on the flavor also. Thanks kidspot for letting is trial this product.
