Supa Secrets Snack Bar Review

by 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”

DIY Halloween Bath Bombs – Spooky-Fun Self-Care for Ghouls of All Ages

If your idea of Halloween fun includes a little bubbling, fizzing magic—without the sugar crash—these DIY Halloween Bath Bombs are your new favorite trick and treat. Think spooky swirls, candy-free gifts, and a little self-care potion-making, all rolled into one bewitching bath-time delight.

These are perfect for mums who’d rather stir up a bath bomb cauldron than bake another round of cupcakes for the class party. They also make fang-tastic gifts for teens, neighbours, or anyone who needs a little seasonal sparkle in their soak.

Why You’ll Love These Spooky Bath Bombs

  • Kid-safe ingredients – No creepy chemicals here 
  • Great for gifting – Pop into mini cauldrons, treat bags, or mason jars 
  • Smells like fall – Think pumpkin spice, candy corn, or sweet orange 
  • Budget-friendly – Uses pantry staples and affordable citric acid 
  • Easy to customize – Add spiders, glitter, glow-in-the-dark mica, or even a surprise toy 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda 
  • 1/2 cup citric acid 
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch 
  • 1/2 cup Epsom salt or fine sea salt 
  • 2 tsp sweet almond oil (or coconut oil) 
  • 1 tsp water or witch hazel in a spray bottle 
  • 10–15 drops essential oil (sweet orange, lavender, cinnamon, or candy-like blends) 
  • Natural colorants or skin-safe mica powder (orange, purple, black, green) 
  • Optional: eco glitter, mini plastic spiders or Halloween charms 
  • Silicone molds or mini plastic cauldrons 

How to Make Halloween Bath Bombs

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt. Whisk until it’s smooth and uniform—like a dusty spellbook.

2. Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a small bowl, mix your carrier oil and essential oils. Add your chosen colorant and glitter here too. If using black, go light—it can stain tubs if overdone.

3. Combine with Care

Slowly drizzle the wet mixture into the dry mix, whisking continuously. It should feel like damp sand. If it clumps when squeezed, you’re ready. Mist lightly with water or witch hazel if too dry.

4. Add Hidden Surprises

Press a small plastic spider, glow cube, or toy into the center for a trick-or-treat effect!

5. Mold It Up

Spoon the mixture into your molds, pressing firmly. Let them dry at least 24 hours before popping out.

Spooky Variations to Try

 Spider Surprise

Hide a plastic spider inside and use black mica for a creepy crawl effect.

 Pumpkin Spice Delight

Add a dash of cinnamon and orange essential oil with orange coloring.

 Glow-in-the-Dark Witch Bombs

Use glow mica and store under light for a fun bathroom glow!

 Boo Bombs for Kids

Make ghost-shaped fizzies using a silicone mold and sweet vanilla oil.

Packaging Ideas for Gifting

  • Wrap in cellophane with twine and a tag: “Drop in warm water and summon a spooky soak!” 
  • Nestle in mini cauldrons from the dollar store 
  • Use kraft boxes lined with Halloween tissue paper for classy spooky gifting 
  • Add a punny printable tag like “You’re the bomb!” or “Witch, please!” 

Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t over-wet your mixture—it can fizz prematurely. 
  • Use gloves to avoid stained fingers. 
  • Let kids help with colors and pressing (just maybe keep the glitter far away unless it’s a full moon). 

Why These Are Better Than Candy

Let’s be honest—October sugar overload is real. These bath bombs are a charming alternative that still feel like a treat. Plus, they turn your bathroom into a spa and a mad scientist lab.

Whether you’re making them for your kids’ school party, teen Halloween sleepovers, or your own pumpkin-scented peace and quiet after bedtime chaos, these DIY bath bombs are a crafty way to keep Halloween fun—and fizzy.
