If you grew up in the 90’s, chances are you grew up with Yowie.
Originating in Australia and New Zealand in 1995, Yowie was possibly one of the most popular treats I remember growing up.
Inspired by the Australian outback and wildlife, Yowie’s come in a range of adorable characters and bright enticing colours, each containing delicious chocolate wrapped around a capsule filled with a sweet surprise.
After more than a decade off our shelves, Yowie have relaunched better than ever with their new Ranger Series with 25 unique collectables to collect. I have had all the feels of nostalgia this week as I have unwrapped these delicious treats and then got to indulge in my children’s excitement when they did the same. We have all gathered around when one is opened to see which collectable we have got and the race is on to collect them all.
We knew the kids would love the concept but I don’t think Chance and I realised how obsessed we would become with finding out what was inside! So much so that we ate five lots of them just to get to the toys (obviously the chocolate was an added bonus). Better yet, their chocolate is nut-free, gluten-free, GMO free and certified by the Rain Forest Alliance making it a great choice for the eco-conscious (and also makes eating chocolate less guilty!).
I love that the toys are of good quality and teach the kids about our native animals. The 25 collectables include 20 species (including two limited edition toys-The American Eage and The Palila) and then you also have the six Yowie playmate characters including Rumble, Boof, Crag, Ditty, Nap and Squish who are known as the Guardians of the Natural World. Each capsule also comes with a little leaflet filled with facts which encourages the kids to learn about our natural environment and endangered species.
Leo is absolutely obsessed with them and carries his “bubbies” with him everywhere. He has even learnt the word “bird” from us showing him them!
We are so excited Yowie is back on our shelves and I don’t even need to feel bad about using them as a bribe for the kids because they are delicious, fun AND educational.
Yowie’s are available from our leading retailers including Woolworths, IGA, Big W, Kmart and more.
Head to my Instagram and Facebook pages to win some Yowie’s for your kiddies (or just you!) and join us on our mission to collect them all.
