The Baked Goods Award finalists include Ookies, the Premium Brownie, Sultry Sally Potato Chips, the Oatmeal Peanut Butter Scotchie Cookie and Tucker’s Natural Gourmet Crackers. FOOD Magazine congratulates all the finalists in this category.
Ookies
These 40g cookies have been especially designed to be high in fibre and lower in fat than regular cookies. Portion size is specifically designed to cater for children’s appetites. Ookies are dairy free and perfect for kids with dairy allergies or intolerances. Each Ookie has its own great taste and is full of either fruit or protein. The cookies come in three flavours: Choc Crisp, Apple Crumble and Super Fruit. Currently Ookies are the only product of their type that meets the stringent requirement of the ‘Amber’ School Canteen Food Services Policies, and are a great addition to any lunchbox.

Premium Brownie
This Brownie, from Mrs Fields, comes in a choice of caramel, chocolate and dual chocolate flavours and is available with either a caramel and dark chocolate or a white and dark chocolate layer on top. The refined recipe, rich flavour and ‘tort’-like appearance and enticing topping all add up to make the Premium Brownie more of a sophisticated treat than just a chocolate flavoured slice. Mrs Fields stores offer the new Brownie for just $3.50, with more value, more flavour, a choice of two rich toppings, without any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and baked fresh on-site.

Sultry Sally Potato Chips
These baked, 97% fat free potato chips, made from Australian potatoes, and come in four flavours — Sea Salt, Thai Sweet Chilli & Lime, Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion — and two pack variants (125g and 75g). The product was developed to address the need for a snack that met the increasing concern in the community for food that is low in fat. It was developed to be of real benefit in the daily fight against obesity, providing an exciting, flavoursome and nutritious snack experience. The Chips have no direct main-stream healthy product competitor that has a potato chip’s mouth-feel, taste and texture.

The Oatmeal Peanut Butter Scotchie Cookie
Introduced as part of the 20th year anniversary of Mrs Fields in Australia this year, as the winner of the international home cookie recipe competition with over 700 entries, the Oatmeal Peanut Butter Scotchie Cookie was chosen by Mrs Fields herself. The Cookie is made without any preservatives or tranfats and features the wholesome taste of oatmeal, the crunch of roasted peanuts and the flavour and texture of an old fashioned butter scotch cookie. The Scotchie comes fresh and hot on a plate as part of the Coffee-Cookie Combo, wrapped if taken away or in one of Mrs Fields’ heart-shaped cookie boxes – turning the humble cookie into a valued gift.

Tucker’s Natural Gourmet Crackers
Created in response to the growth in the global market demand for authentic premium crackers and biscuits, Tucker’s answer came in a distinctive triangular shape, making the product ideal for serving with dips, cheeses, hors d’oeuvres, salads, main meals, soups, desserts, hot and cold drinks and to decorate platters. The product is more robust than others on the market, meaning that they do not break easily and carry toppings as well as dip well, making them extremely practical. And, according to the company, you can even double dip without causing cross-contamination!
