Côte d'Or Chokotoff White

-

Here we have another Côte d'Or product review...you'd think I was obsessed with them or something! ;) Chokotoff are a brand of toffees popular in Belgium, and I found this white chocolate version of them in B&M bargains for £1. I don't have a picture of the actual toffees I'm afraid as I ate them all a few months ago, nom nom :)

They were quite tasty, the toffees are chocolate flavoured and work well with the creamy white chocolate, however they suffered the same problem as most toffees - they were too hard. I solved this by popping them in the microwave for 10 seconds; this made them softer and much easier to eat. I overdid a few and they turned into a melted mass of white chocolate and toffee, which was actually very tasty!

Overall I would say this is a decent product and I'd like to try the original dark chocolate version - hopefully I'll come across them some day.

Have you tried Chokotoff before? If so what did you think of them?

    I have never tried a white chocolate toffee before but it sounds quite yummy! I love the microwave tip, I have never thought of doing that before. It's a great tip to use on all the poor toffees that end up bottom of the Quality Street tin!

    Thank for adding me to your blogroll too :)

      You're welcome :)

      Haha, yes Quality Street toffees certainly need a helping hand! You could always melt them and use them as a cake filling or something.

    These I have not ever seen in any of the shops I frequent... Quite a catchy name I must say! I'll have to keep an eye out for these :)

      Unfortunately I don't think they're around any longer, let's hope they make a return soon. Probably like those fabled Rolo sticks...you see them once and then they're gone!

      Yeah, let's hope eh... Those Rolo Sticks are like gold dust. At least with everyone keeping their eyes peeled they're bound to be spotted as soon as they re-enter circulation again (if ever!).

    I used to have the dark chocolate ones as a kid and they are much nicer!

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-
Image
Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

-

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
