Mars, makers of many of your childhood (and, let's be honest, adulthood) favourite chocolate bars, are back in the protein shake game!! And, even better, this time around (as some of you may remember, a few years back Mars *did* have a shake available) they've brought Snickers

Rounding off a 'freaky Friday' we just HAD to announce the arrival of a pair of ghastly, ghoulishly gorgeous goodies from Swolesome Foods...

Morning, folks! Happy Friday! Hope you're having a suitably sweet and satisfying breakfast to celebrate surviving another looooong (and way too rainy here in the UK!) working week!Huh? What's that? No??! You're so over oatmeal? Bored of bagels?! Can't face cereal?!!Never fear!! We've got just the thing to put a healthy little protein-packed pastry 'pop' into the most important meal of the day...

With broad stripes and bright stars (well, star-shaped 'Red, White and Blue' sprinkles, at least!) Merica Labz' much-anticipated, Independence Day special edition Patriot's Whey flavour - 'Independence Cake' - has finally exploded into the Mix in all its 'Merican, 'NEVER BIG ENOUGH' glory!So, who's for a history lesson? Haha, waaiiiitt..don't bolt just yet!Independence Day is far more than just an old alien movie starring the Fresh Prince (and the less said about the recent sequel the better)...

We've got a suitably 'Sunday-Funday' one for you here, folks (well, two to be precise!)...the brand new filled - yes, filled - USN TRUST Protein Cookies!! On the back of the success of their awesome TRUST Crunch Bars (a team fave!) we've played on 'TRUST-ing' USN when it comes to fun, foodie bits already...more specifically, though, I wonder if their real gift is for wonderfully excessive, over-the-top fillings; as you can see from our snack-stack photo, and following the lead set by the caram
