Premium crisp lovers are in for a seasonal treat as Walkers Sensations unveils two limited-edition flavours just in time for Easter. Known for its bold, restaurant-inspired taste profiles, the brand is adding Slow-Roasted Lamb & Mint Sauce and Chilli & Cocoa to its line-up – both designed to elevate spring snacking.
Available nationwide from 16th February for a limited time only, the new flavours tap into classic Easter traditions and one of the UK’s fastest-growing food trends.
A Classic Easter Roast – In Crisp Form
For those who associate Easter with a hearty Sunday roast, the Slow-Roasted Lamb & Mint Sauce flavour offers a nostalgic twist. Inspired by the traditional Easter centrepiece, this savoury option captures the rich taste of lamb paired with cool mint sauce, bringing the comfort of a festive roast into a 150g sharing bag.
It’s a flavour crafted for traditionalists – perfect for family gatherings, Easter weekend get-togethers, or simply upgrading your snack selection for the bank holiday.

The Rise of ‘Swalty’: Sweet Meets Savoury
On the more adventurous end of the spectrum, Chilli & Cocoa leans into the rising ‘swalty’ trend – a growing UK appetite for sweet-and-salty combinations. Blending warming chilli heat with subtle cocoa richness, this unexpected pairing offers a layered flavour experience that’s both indulgent and bold.
According to global food trend insights from PepsiCo, sweet and savoury mash-ups continue to gain traction among consumers looking for new and surprising taste combinations. The Chilli & Cocoa variant speaks directly to that curiosity-driven snacking culture.
Wayne Newton, Senior Marketing Director at PepsiCo, explains:
“Slow-Roasted Lamb & Mint Sauce flavour is for the Easter traditionalists, putting a classic Easter roast into crisp form. Whereas, sweet and savoury flavour pairings are exploding in popularity right now, and the Chilli & Cocoa flavour gives crisp lovers seeking more unexpected taste combinations something new to enjoy. Whatever your flavour preferences, there’s something for everyone with Walkers Sensations this Easter.”

Limited-Edition Easter Design
Both flavours are packaged in a refreshed seasonal design and come in a 150g sharing bag format, making them ideal for parties, movie nights, or Easter entertaining.
As limited-edition releases, they won’t be around for long – so snack fans will need to move quickly once they hit shelves nationwide from 16th February.
Why This Matters for UK Snack Trends
The launch reflects two key shifts in UK snacking habits:
-
A continued love for nostalgic, comfort-led flavours tied to seasonal moments
-
A growing appetite for experimental, fusion-inspired tastes
From roast-inspired crisps to cocoa-infused chilli heat, Walkers Sensations is positioning itself at the centre of both conversations this Easter.
