Supa Secrets Snack Bar Review

March 24, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 1 Comment

Packing your child a healthy lunch he or she will likely eat feels more challenging than ever before! The key is to communicate with your child about their dietary likes and dislikes. Sending them off to school with a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and with enough healthy “treats,” will ensure lunchbox success

Sharon Thurins ( Founder ) launch of the Slim Secrets range in 2006 has been a success beyond her lofty expectations. Available nationally in supermarkets, Boost Juice venues, health food stores, health clubs including Fitness First venues and now exported globally – with 3 product ranges (chips, bars and cookies), another 5 brand extensions are planned in the next 12 months.

Milkk PR proudly introduce the first, SUPA SECRETS!

SUPA SECRETS provide better nutritionally balanced snacks for kids that taste great and is a fun brand like the Slim Secrets range. Whilst Sharon still believes that snacks such as fruit, vegetables or similar are a better alternative for kids we know that they will not always satisfy their cravings.

SUPA SECRETS take great care in creating snacks to give kids fantastic tasting food with the right kind of nutrition they need for their growing, active bodies. Both ranges fall within the Healthy Kids amber category which is approved for canteens.

SUPA SECRETS SNACK BARS – Snack bars available in 2 flavours “Ballistic Berry” & ” Wicked Choc” that not only taste awesome, but have under 115 calories per bar, no artificial flavours or colours, are a good source of omega 3’s, are low in sodium and contain one of my favourite ingredients Chia seeds!!!!! Did I mention they are made with goodness of wholegrain oats?

Thanks to Shereen Kiddle of Milkk PR I was invited to attend the “Official Launch” of Supa Secrets unable to attend at the very last minute I was still lucky enough to be able to try the “Wicked Chocolate Super Wired Chewy Snack Bar “ ( Thanks Shereen ) 3 words ……. YUM ….. YUM.….YUM!!!!! Low Calorie Chocolate Heaven, this bar has it’s sweetness factor SPOT ON. Like a chocolate muesli bar with hues of coconut minus the boring factor of a muesli bar. The perfect size snack wise with a matching calorie intake. 114 calories to be more precise, 3.4 grams of fat, 85mg of Omega 3’s that is 1/3 of a childs daily intake , 19.4 grams of carbs with only 5grams of those being sugar. 1.6 grams of fibre. With a $RRP of $1.50 each I would be happy to give these to my boys as a snack, I am pretty sure you don’t get great statistics like those above in a “chocolate bar”

Pumpkin Pie Melt and Pour Soap: A Cozy Fall Soap Recipe That Smells Good Enough to Eat

When the leaves start crunching underfoot and pumpkin spice fills every café, it’s time to cozy up with an easy fall DIY that smells just like grandma’s dessert table—without the calories. This Pumpkin Pie Melt and Pour Soap is one of my absolute favorite seasonal recipes. It’s warm, comforting, and gives off those straight-out-of-the-oven vibes every time you lather up.

Perfect for fall craft fairs, Thanksgiving hostess gifts, or a festive bathroom refresh, this handmade soap smells divine, looks adorable, and takes less than an hour to whip up.

Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Soap Recipe

Smells like real pumpkin pie (think cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla—yes please!)
Made with skin-friendly melt and pour base—no lye required
Easy enough for beginners or weekend makers
Customizable with layers, swirls, or “whipped cream” topping

Ingredients & Supplies

Yields: 4–6 small bars depending on your mold size

1 lb goat milk melt and pour soap base (or shea butter base)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (yes, the real baking blend!)
½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional for visual specks)
1 tsp vitamin E oil or sweet almond oil
1–2 tsp brown mica or orange soap-safe colorant
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for scent depth—make sure it’s oil-based or use a fragrance oil blend)
Pumpkin pie fragrance oil (skin-safe, approx. 1–2 tsp per pound of soap base)
Rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle
Silicone soap mold (round, square, or pie-slice shaped)
Microwave-safe jug or double boiler
Stirring sticks or silicone spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chop and Melt the Soap Base

Cut your melt and pour soap base into small cubes and place in a microwave-safe jug. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each round until fully melted. (Do not let it boil!)

2. Add Scent and Spice

Once melted, stir in your fragrance oil, pumpkin pie spice, and optional vanilla extract. Add a pinch of cinnamon if you like the flecked look.

Tip: Spray your mold lightly with rubbing alcohol before pouring to prevent bubbles.

3. Colour and Pour

Add your mica powder or orange colorant, a little at a time, until you reach your ideal pumpkiny hue. Stir well, then carefully pour the mixture into your soap molds.

Immediately spritz the tops with rubbing alcohol to remove surface bubbles.

4. Let It Set

Leave the soap undisturbed at room temperature for 2–4 hours until fully hardened. Pop the bars out of the mold once they’re firm to the touch.

Optional: If you’re feeling fancy, melt a small amount of white soap base and pipe a “whipped cream” swirl on top using a piping bag and star tip.

Tips & Variations

Make it two-tone: Pour half your batch in orange, then top with a creamy vanilla layer for a pie-slice look.
Add oatmeal: Toss in 1 tsp of ground oats for a gentle exfoliant and rustic charm.
Use pie molds: Silicone molds shaped like pie slices or tart pans give these a dessert-style finish.
Gift-ready idea: Wrap in wax paper, tie with twine, and add a “Pumpkin Pie Soap” tag for instant fall gifts.

How to Store Homemade Soap

Keep your finished soaps in an airtight container or shrink wrap them if you’re gifting. Melt and pour soap can sweat in humid climates, so cool, dry storage is best.

This DIY pumpkin spice soap recipe is everything you want from a cozy fall project—easy, fragrant, and irresistibly cute. Whether you’re new to soap making or a seasoned maker prepping for a market table, these little bars will have everyone asking, “Where’s the whipped cream?”
