Walkers Hoops & Crosses Review (sponsored post)
We don’t usually buy crisps and snacks for their nutrients or health benefits, we buy them to have as a treat so it’s great that Walkers have launched Baked Hoops and Crosses which are made with 56% wholegrain. As a mum I know the fried snacks and crisps that my son takes to school in…
