Old London Melba is great for snacking solo or pleasing a crowd in a snap. Old London Melba Toasts are perfect for piling on toppings for an artful appetizer or scrumptious mini-meal. Old London Melba Snacks are perfectly poppable on their own or paired with dips and spreads. Since Old London Melba Toasts and Snacks are twice baked, they can support your most creative ideas.

To help spread the word about the relaunch of Old London Melba, the brand has partnered with Lisa Lillien, a New York Times best-selling author and the creator of the Hungry Girl brand. Lillien is the founder of Hungry-Girl.com, a free daily email service that provides diet-friendly recipes, tips and tricks and supermarket finds to over one million hungry people everywhere. Hungry Girl has created delicious recipes, like Buffalo Chicken Toasts, Potato Skin-Style Melba Snacks and Strawberries and Cream Toasts, that showcase the versatility of Old London Melba from snack to meal-time.

“I LOVE Old London Melba Toasts and Snacks – they're not your mom's melba toast, that's for sure,” said Lisa Lillien, Hungry Girl Founder and CEO. “These are twice baked, giving them an extra crunch that's perfect for snacks and mini-meals. Plus, Old London Melba Toasts and Snacks have whole grains and fiber too. I love that!”

Old London Melba is pleased to announce the addition of Old London Melba Toasts Ancient Grains. “Old London Melba Toasts Ancient Grains ROCK,” stated Lillien. “These twice-baked toasts are incredible for easy appetizers, snacks, and mini-meals. They have only 60 calories per serving, and they're made with whole grains like millet, amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa. And the best part of all? They're delicious!”
