Walkers Crisps has launched a new range of Wotsits and Monster Munch crisps.
Walkers is responsible for a range of products including Wotsits, Quavers, Monster Munch, Squares and Bugles as well as their various ranges like Max and Sensations.
Several popular crisp flavours have been axed by the crisp giant recently.
In November 2023, Walkers revealed it had stopped making Salt and Vinegar Quavers, while in October fans discovered the popular Worcester sauce flavour had been discontinued.
The company has also confirmed recently they have stopped making Max Strong Hotsauce Blaze and Marmite flavoured crisps.
Discontinued UK sweets and chocolates
But its not been all bad news for crisp lovers with Walkers also releasing a number of new flavours in 2024.
In February, it added two new flavours to its Sensations range - Mature Cheddar and Chilli Chutney and Crushed Sea Salt & Black Peppercorn.
Then just a few weeks later shoppers spotted brand new Extra Flamin Hot Crunchy Wotsits in UK supermarkets.
Walkers Crisps launches new Wotsits and Monster Munch range
Walkers has now launched a new range of Wotsits and Monster Munch crisps, made with chickpea and classifying as non-HFSS (high in fat, salt or sugar).
The chickpea snacks are less than 100 calories, 25% lower in salt than the average extruded product and provides a source of fibre.
The new range, which will be available from Monday (July 1), includes three new flavours:
- Wotsits Cheese Toastie
- Wotsits Crispy Bacon
- Monster Munch BBQ Sauce

PepsiCo - owners of Walkers Crisps - said the new range follows years of testing and refining the recipe.
Head of Portfolio Transformation at PepsiCo, Karen Scott, added: “We’re always looking for new ways to bring people a greater variety of products that include diverse ingredients while maintaining the trademark taste and quality Walkers is known for.
"After years of continuously evolving our portfolio and working closely with our R&D teams, we’re excited to be launching our first chickpea-based product with three brand-new flavours of our popular Wotsits and Monster Munch classics. We can’t wait to hear the feedback from consumers.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
