Weetabix Food Company has announced the launch of a new variant to its Alpen Light bars range: White Chocolate, Raspberry & Shortcake.

Available now, the product will appeal to consumers who are looking for healthier snacks, containing just 67 calories per bar.

“We make sure we keep the Alpen Light range current and continue to deliver on the lead flavour trends in a low-calorie format,” commented Nanda Desai, brand manager for Alpen. “Our last two pieces of NPD, Salted Caramel and Jaffa Cake are now our best-selling SKUs. Our aim is to bring new tastes and excitement to the range, ensuring the offering is relevant to consumers and retailer’s needs.”

Light White Chocolate, Raspberry & Shortcake is being rolled out to grocery, convenience and wholesale from November, supported by a dedicated social media campaign. Priced at £1.99 MRSP for a pack of five, the product is available in-store now at a promotional price of £1.

“Choice and variety are the key drivers of growth in this category. To keep driving performance forward, it is important that retailers rotate flavours and create diversity in their range. Alpen Light White Chocolate, Raspberry & Shortcake gives them that option,” Desai added.

The Alpen Light sub brand, which provides guilt-free snacking with a range of high fibre cereal bars at less than 70 calories, is currently worth over £14 million at RSV.

Gnaw ‘new-stalgia’: pud-themed Chocolate Spoons and flavoured choc bars

Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Desserts may prove divisive. For many the last course will always be a fitting finale to a great meal spent with friends of family, enticing comfort food that offers a nostalgic peek into happy custard drenched, ice cream topped memories from yesteryear. For others, desserts are an unwitting dalliance with guilt-filled soft sponges, buttery pastry, seductively sweet fillings, crumbly toppings, sticky sauces …
