New Crispers Cheddar Review

by Leave a Comment

Crispers recently launched the first new flavour in 10 years: Crispers Cheddar.

Crispers Cheddar Highlights

  • Baked in Canada – Christie’s Crispers are baked right here in Canada at the Mondelez Canada East York location in Toronto, Ontario.
  • Canadians think everything tastes better with cheddar – With Canadians currently craving a sense of comfort, there’s a greater return to familiar and nostalgic flavours
  • Best of both worlds – Bringing the features of chip and cracker together in one bite, this uniquely-Canadian baked salty snack is one of the original crisp products introduced by Christie.
  • Portability and convenience for Canadians on the go – Crispers come in a resealable bag so snacks stay fresh and ready for anytime enjoyment.

Crispers Cheddar, which first launched in June, joins a family of flavours that include All Dressed; Dill Pickle; Barbecue; Ranch; and Salt & Vinegar.

In terms of nutrition, 15 crackers (20 g) has 100 calories, 4.5 g of fat and 14 g of carbohydrates. They have 0 trans fat, 0 cholesterol and are low in saturated fat.

I was gifted with some Crispers Cheddar to try and found them to be very tasty and would recommend them. The texture is thin and crispy and the flavour was on point for being cheddar.

They are available in major grocery retailers across Canada at a suggested retail price of $2.99 in Conventional Banners and $2.89 in Discount Banners.

New Pumpkin Spice Mac and Cheese Kraft Dinner

What is Pumpkin Spice Kraft Dinner made of?

It ain’t no basic batch. Pumpkin Spice KD is made with the same classic KD cheese powder Canadians know and love, now with added fall flavours: hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger.

You need to sign up for the online waitlist at PumpkinSpiceKD.com in order to be notified when the exclusive Pumpkin Spice KD drops. The company says that the new flavour is expected to launch October 2020.

Only 1,000 lucky Canadians will be able to get their hands on the drop, which will include KD, a Pumpkin Spice Boost Pack, a fork, and of-course a signature white coffee style cup with your name written on it (spelled wrong of course).

McDonald’s Spicy McChicken 2020: Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, Ghost Pepper

by Leave a Comment

McDonald’s Canada has brought back the Spicy McChicken Challenge for a limited time only. The featured sandwiches are Habanero McChicken (regular menu); Scotch Bonnet McChicken (Sept 1 – 28); and the Ghost Pepper McChicken (September 15 – 28).

McDonald's Spicy McChicken 2019: Jalapeño Pepper, Habanero Pepper and Ghost Pepper Compared | McDonald's Spicy Jalapeño McChicken Review

Spicy McChickens Launch Schedule 2020

The Habanero McChicken is on the regular menu. The new Scotch Bonnet McChicken is available September 1 – 28. The Ghost Pepper McChicken is available September 15 – 28.

McDonald's Spicy McChicken 2019: Jalapeño Pepper, Habanero Pepper and Ghost Pepper Compared | McDonald's Spicy Jalapeño McChicken Review

Spicy McChickens Spiciness Levels

The McChickens were made spicy through new spicy mayonnaise sauces created by McDonald’s chefs. These spicy sauces replace the regular non-spicy mayonnaise in the McChicken.

The spiciness level is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU) with the higher the units the more spiciness.

Spice ratings of each pepper, according to the Scoville scale, measure at:

  • Habanero Pepper = 100,000 – 350,000 SHU
  • Scotch Bonnet Pepper = 100,000–350,000 SHU
  • Ghost Pepper = Over 1,000,000 SHU

The Ghost Pepper is essentially 10x more spicy than the Habanero.

Spicy McChickens Nutrition Comparison

From a nutrition standpoint, all the McChickens are pretty comparable. This is not surprising considering the only change to the sandwiches were the sauces. The most obvious difference is that the spicy McChickens tend to have more sodium than the regular McChicken.

Carbohydrates (grams)45454645
Protein (grams)16161616
Sodium (mg)640690710720

Spicy McChickens Price

In terms of McDonald’s prices, all the spicy McChickens are $5.39 for the sandwich or make it a meal for $9.39. The spicy McChicken sandwiches are just $0.20 more than a regular McChicken which is $5.19. This is based on Vancouver, Canada pricing.

*New* Scotch Bonnet McChicken Review

I recently tried the new Scotch Bonnet McChicken sandwich and found it to be spicier than the Habanero one. Still very tasty! I suppose which sandwich you choose depends on how much spiciness you want.

The spicy McChickens all have the same type of box but will have a specially marked tab on the box to identify it.
