Cadbury Wispa Hot Chocolate Sachet Review

-

After hearing about the new Wispa hot chocolate via Twitter I knew it was something I had to seek out; I'm a sucker for products like this! Rumour had it that Tesco was the first to stock it so I made it my mission to go there and track some down.

I've tried Aero hot chocolate before and thought this might be a similar kind of thing. I've never liked Aero hot chocolate though, it just doesn't taste chocolatey enough to me.

Thankfully this Wispa hot chocolate did; it had that unmistakable signature Cadbury chocolate taste and was very creamy and frothy. I stirred it well to "release the bubbles", as instructed on the pack, and the froth did actually resemble the centre of a Wispa bar, as you can hopefully see in this pic (and yes, that is a chicken you can see on the side of the cup!) :


Next time I think I will buy the larger jar version (reviewed here by Grocery Gems), and use a few extra teaspoons of powder because the small sachet wasn't quite enough for my large cup.

Overall, a tasty, bubbly instant hot chocolate from Cadbury. I hope they bring out a Wispa Gold version too! (Or Mint..)

Writing this has reminded me of a product Cadbury brought out years ago...it consisted of a sachet of hot chocolate with a portion of Crunchie nuggets, which you dropped into the hot chocolate. They were very tasty. I haven't seen them on shelves for a while now, can anyone remember what they were called?

Price: 36p per sachet or £2.79 for a jar at Tesco.
Nutritional facts: Contains milk and soya.

    Thanks for the mention Kev. I've definitely been adding a few extra spoonfuls so I think jars are the way to go :-)

    I'd love to see different versions of this Wispa Hot Choc too!

      Most welcome :)

      Rather than just flavoured hot choc, wouldn't it be cool if they did a Wispa Gold hot choc with a little pot of caramel (like those pots of cream you get in cafes) that you can tip into it? I hope Cadbury are reading this!

    I saw it at a gift shop (but just the large jar), thought I'd try it at a later time and now they don't have it anymore...

    personally i would not bother with the jar/pot of this. I had to use over 6 teaspoons which was half the pot. Even so it still tasted more like sugary water than anything remotely chocolatey. Save yourself £3 and just melt some chocolate and add milk!

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
