Marmite

They defo do them in Sainsburys. Thats confirmed as of 4th Feb 10

Were have the Marmite crisps gone I can not find them any more I have had to settle for the rice one's but they are not so strong

The walkers ones are much stronger than these! these new ones have a slightly odd taste that deffo isn't marmite.

You can get them in store or on line from Asda. I got some last night. They are gorgeous. I like them more than the Walkers version. They seem to taste stronger

That's interesting, Debbymillie. I did an on line order with Asda yesterday and looked for Marmite crisps and they didn't list any. Had to settle for cheese and onion! Yuk!

I have bought these a few times in packs of siz in sainsburys, haven't seen them anywhere else though, but they are so yummmmmmy!

I'm struggling to find these anywhere. Any idea who's stocking them? I've been looking for weeks!

Hmmm. It looks like I'm in a minority here. First of all... I'm still open to ideas as to who actually produces these crisps. There's nothing on the packet to state these aren't in fact manufactured by Walkers. Unilever won't have set up a production plant for making one type of crisps - chances are an established crisp manufacturer will be making them under license. And who's to say that's not Walkers (and whoever it is are happy to keep their name of the packets if Unilever pay them enough). Now then - is it a different recipe? Well, it certainly does taste so, and personally speaking I do find them rather better. Whereas the Walkers-branded ones tasted more like 'real' Marmite, the taste didn't really suit the crisp, I think, as the potato flavour buried the bite of the Marmite. The new flavour does take precedence over the flavour of the potato, and whether rightly or wrongly from a puritanical point of view, I enjoy them a lot more. Wish I could say the same about the breadsticks (yuck, simply taste burnt - very little actual Marmite taste seems to survive the baking process, even though the same ingredients are used - perhaps the recipe's method needs looking at), and whereas the rice cakes do have the right flavour, the flavour doesn't mix well with the rice cake itself (again, the recipe method I think needs amending to take into account the unusually viscose properties of the flavouring agent in this case). The Cashews, I have yet to find, so can't comment. They're the ones I'm most looking forward to trying, although Marmite Dry Roasted Peanuts would, for me, be much more of a draw.

The new crisps taste horrible. I didn't realise that garlic powder has been added to the flavour. Why? I think that Unilever should ask Walkers for the flavouing that they used. I won't be buying any more, and I used to send 6 packs of the Walkers crisps to a friend in the USA on a regular basis, but she doesn't like the new flavour either.

I adored Walkers Marmite crisps. but they were always difficult to get hold of, total nightmare infact. Today I discovered Marmite do their own, Thank god! I've just demolished 2 packets & I have to say I'm very dissapointed. They're not a patch on Walkers. ( The 2nd packet was to make sure I wasn't making a mistake!) I've heard Walkers have stopped making them now which is very upsetting as I believe I'm addicted, so Maybe Marmite should buy the receipe? Afterall Marmite should do the best marmite snacks! And so far you're not doing Marmite justice, no wonder so many people hate it. Come on Marmite, get it together!! I've been eating marmite as long as I've been breathing its the best but when you start mixing it in your snacks you mess it up!

Have to agree with Jenrock. I love the marmite taste and will eat it off my fingers, but this just isn't 'it'. I actually think the flavouring is not only wrong but too overpowering for the simple crisp to handle and believe that - even if not changed - it would benefit from being toned down a little bit. shame - I was really excited about these.

oooooooOOO ai've got a bag on my desk right now, having just bought a six pack from Sainsburys...think I'll try one now.. dryer than walkers...nice strong taste... quite nice.....will have to finsh the packet to be sure of course :-D

OH MY GOD!! You genuinly think they are better than walkers??? There was me thinking, "oh fantastic, Unilever are going to take over producing Marmite crisps" hmmmmmmmmmm, what a let down!! :( Not only are the majority of them burnt (well and truly over cooked), but to make things worse (from the point of view of a person allergic to the stuff), some bright spark decided to add GARLIC powder!!!!! Come on Unilver/Marmite, wake up. The sales of your own marmite crisp version up against the Walkers (cooked properly), are not going to do well at all. What a *** shame.

I can't wait to taste these, still waiting for them to show up on my local supermarket's shelves....I'm getting impatient.....

WOW, the new Marmite Crisps are amazing, a thousand times better than the Walkers Marmite ones that I had been buying! These are really excellent in both flavour and quality, for a start these are properly cooked to a lovely dark colour instead of the pallid near white of the Walkers version......Superior in every way! Like Crisps USED to be! Well I've had my say and no I don't own shares or work for Marmite :) but wish I did. hehehe Al
