There is a bit of debate online over the best “Hunky Dorys”. Which is the best in terms of price, taste and calorie content – Lidl Hunky Dorys (Howdy Doodys), the original Hunky Dory or Aldi’s Okey Dokeys. We’ll have a closer look at this!
Which is the best Hunky Dory Variety?
Hunky Dorys – The original
Hunky Dorys come in 3 flavours – Salt and Malt Vinegar, Buffalo and Cheddar Cheese and Spring Onion.
Kcals in Hunky Dorys
Salt & Malt Vinegar
133kcal per 25g pack
Buffalo Flavour Potato Crisps
130Kcal per 25g pack
Cheddar Cheese & Spring Onion Flavour
131Kcal per 25g pack
Nothing is off-plan with WeightMatters. A 25g bag of Hunky Dorys can still be used as a snack every now and again and will not result in gains, once you count this into your daily calorie allowance.
Price
On the date of publishing this post, Tesco currently has the Tayto Hunky Dorys Crinkle Cut Crisps Variety Pack 9X25g
available for €3.93
Flavour
As the originals, you would probably assume these are the best tasting. However, the general consensus is that since being bought by a different company the flavour has changed. It turns out they may not be the best tasting anymore.
