Kellogg’s UK has revealed its latest creation to the breakfast spread market – Crunchy Nut Peanut Butter – and it’s available at supermarkets nationwide from today.
Following on from the release of M&Ms and Snickers peanut butters, which are now available at B&M stores across the UK, Kellogg’s has teamed up with peanut butter manufacturer Duerr’s to create this unique crunchy peanut butter that’s filled with honey roasted nuts.
The new spread is packed full of flavour, combining ultra-smooth peanut butter with the irresistible crunch of honey roasted peanuts to bring a sweet twist.
This release celebrates the 40th anniversary of the ever-popular breakfast cereal and meets the demand of recent reports suggesting that peanut butter is over-taking jam in the popularity stakes, so the new Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut edition is set to make peanut butter even more desirable.
The jars are exclusively available at Sainsbury’s stores nationwide from today and will set you back £2.50.

Comedy is being prescribed instead of antidepressants as part of UK trials
Emily Sergeant
Trials are currently underway to see if comedy could be an alternative to antidepressants as a way to reduce NHS costs.
UK tech company Craic Health has secured important funding for its ‘comedy on prescription’ project that’s aimed at helping the Government work with the comedy industry, communities, and organisations on comedy-based social prescriptions in the hope that they can solve financial struggles within the NHS.
The groundbreaking scheme uses stand-up shows and workshops to help people who are isolated, lonely, and vulnerable.
Craic believes comedy is an ‘untapped opportunity’ to improve health and wellbeing, and has a goal to make comedy easier to access, so that it can help communities experience its mental health and social benefits.
To achieve this, the company has started trialling Comedy-on-Prescription experiences in the UK – starting in London, with the potential for expansion – which includes things like curated comedy panel game show events and workshops, and general stand-up comedy shows at some of the capital’s world-famous venues.

“Mental health issues like loneliness, isolation, and stress are more common than ever,” the company explains.
“So much so that it’s projected that by 2030, mental health problems, particularly depression, will be the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, [but] in this challenging world, comedy stands out as a universal language that breaks barriers.
“Research shows that comedy and laughter have powerful effects – they bring people together, create positive connections, and make life more enjoyable.”
Craic Health says that social prescribing, of which Comedy-on-Prescription is a part of, is all about inclusivity, which makes it making it suitable for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Its focus is on personalised support, tailored to individual needs and preferences.
