New foodie series Snackmasters will premiere next Monday on Nine.

That will pit Poh Ling Yeow, Scott Pickett and Yvie Jones against the Celebrity Masterchef finale.

This is a short-run series based on a UK format.

Snackmasters is a unique cooking contest hosted by Scott Pickett and Poh Ling Yeow (MasterChef Australia) where highly awarded chefs at the top of their game go head-to-head to perfectly replicate famous Aussie snacks. The new series will have all of Australia asking can our top chefs crack the magic snack? Each week the chefs will wrestle a selected snack into submission in their own kitchens, before entering the Snack Arena for a cook-off judged by the very factory workers who make the
snack every day. The chef whose recipe is closest to the original will take home the highly coveted Snack Trophy and bragging rights as a true Snack Master.

Yvie Jones, ex-Goggleboxer and self-confessed snack lover, journeys deep into our food factories to find the secrets that go into the creation of Australia’s favourite snacks and see where the chefs are getting it wrong – and right. Featuring snacks like Twisties, Drumsticks, Whoppers and Cadbury Favourites, this is the only Aussie food show on prime-time TV where viewers know exactly how the finished results should taste, and whether our chefs have truly mastered our favourite snacks. Snackmasters is based on the BAFTA-nominated UK program format and made by Warner Bros. International Television Production for the 9Network.

  2. Channel 9 stretch out a compact and enjoyable 60 minute show in to an over worked padded out 90 minute format?

    Surely not..

    Unfortunately though that seems to be the order of the day across all the FTA networks particularly Channel 9

    Initially had high hopes for this one as the UK and Belgium version even subtitled, was very entertaining but judging from the Promo, looks like 9 is trying to apply ‘The Block’ formula to it. I really hope I’m proven wrong though

  3. The UK episode run at approx 47 minutes….nice and compact and enjoyable, I hope they are not trying to squeeze too much out of the format @90 minutes…..
