KELLOGG’S LAUNCH SPECIAL K BLISS MINT CHOCOLATE

KELLOGG’S LAUNCH SPECIAL K BLISS MINT CHOCOLATE
- New cereal bar offers a distinct and exciting flavour
KELLOGG’S is launching an exciting new addition to its Special K Bliss cereal snacks range.
Special K Bliss Mint Chocolate offers a new and distinct flavour choice to a category dominated by fruit and nut variants.
It is the first and only low calorie Mint Chocolate snack currently on the market and Kellogg’s is confident the product will attract a new range of consumers.
The bar is a delicious medley of light and crispy cereal pieces, combined with a mint infusion on a layer of fine, continental chocolate for an intense and satisfying chocolate experience.
Mint Chocolate is a proven winner in the biscuit category - worth £25m – and the new Special K Bliss Mint Chocolate offers consumers a less indulgent option at less than 90 calories a bar.
Kellogg’s is to support the launch with a marketing and advertising campaign and expect Special K Mint Chocolate to deliver £2m in retail sales.
The company is spending £6.6m on TV advertising during 2008 to raise awareness of the Special K cereal bar brand.
Jean Yves Heude, Kellogg’s General Manager Sales & Snacks, said: “The launch of the new Special K Bliss Mint Chocolate offers a real opportunity for us to tap into a whole new consumer bracket.
“Mint Chocolate is a proven favourite in the biscuit category and now Kellogg’s are offering a healthier alternative to consumers who may be watching their shape but still want to snack on a mint chocolate treat.”
