Chutney Corn, Banana Chips and Dried Fruit: The Snacks That Surprise

Not every treat in a snack box has to be chocolate. Some of the most loved picks in our Build Your Own Box are the ones people do not expect.

Chutney corn

Chutney corn is a crunchy corn snack with a sweet and tangy chutney flavour that South Africans know and love. It sits somewhere between a savoury snack and a sweet treat, which makes it perfect for people who cannot decide. It is a favourite at braais and on road trips.

Banana chips

Banana chips are thin slices of banana dried until crisp. They have a gentle sweetness and a satisfying crunch, and they are a lovely lighter option in a mixed box. They also go brilliantly in trail mix with nuts and raisins.

Dried fruit

Dried fruit brings a chewy sweetness and natural colour to a gift box. The Western Cape is famous for its fruit, and dried fruit has long been part of South African padkos and holiday tables. It pairs beautifully with nuts and cheese on a snack board.

Pink and white coated nuts

These pastel sugar coated nuts are a true South African classic, the kind you find at weddings, parties and in grandma’s sweet tin. A crunchy sweet shell with a nut inside. Pure nostalgia.

Mix and match

The beauty of these treats is how well they combine:

• Sweet and tangy: chutney corn with dried fruit
• Tropical crunch: banana chips with mixed nuts
• Old school party: pink and white coated nuts with speckled eggs
