Ferrero Rocher Easter Bunny

-

Here we have the Ferrero Rocher Easter Bunny. I found this little fella for £1.99 in B&M Homestores; they were on offer of 2 for £3 or £1.99 each, but most of the shelf had gone even though I was there in the early morning. I was told by a member of staff that they sell out fast, so I quickly grabbed the last one thinking it was still a good bargain. I've heard they are on an even cheaper offer of £1.29 each at Home Bargains. The RRP is usually £2.99.

This bunny is described as a "Hollow figure of crunchy hazelnut milk chocolate" and contains 33.5% min cocoa solids. It lists "concentrated butter" in the ingredients, which I don't think is a common ingredient found in chocolate.

I liked the presentation. The gold wrapper has a matte feel to it, and seems posher than the similar Lindt Gold Bunny. Unwrapping it, you can see that the bunny is very well-moulded. It might look a bit pregnant with the hump on its belly, but that's actually supposed to be an Easter egg he's holding!


The chocolate contains pieces of chopped hazelnut, like the top layer you get on Ferrero Rocher chocolates. To be honest, I wasn't overly impressed. It was nice enough, but because the nuts were chopped they didn't taste as fresh or tasty as whole hazelnuts. And because it was missing the centre part of a Ferrero Rocher, it became a bit boring. To me the hazelnut cream is the best part of Ferrero Rocher, so without that this was just decent-tasting chocolate with chopped hazelnuts in. It wasn't bad quality, but wasn't outstanding either, just a little bit boring overall. I don't think these are worth the RRP, and personally I wouldn't choose to buy one again over the other nice Easter products available this year (of which there are many!) That aside, I did like the presentation of this Ferrero Rocher Bunny.

Overall, if you happen to see these discounted I think they are worth giving a try, especially if you like Ferrero Rocher chocolates, but I wouldn't pay the RRP for them.

Price: £1.29 at Home Bargains, £1.99 each or 2 for £3 at B&M, £2.99 at Sainsbury's.
Nutritional facts: Wheat-free but doesn't specify if gluten-free. Contains milk.

    oooh I've never seen this before. I'd buy one just because I love nibbling off the outer chocolate layer of a Ferrero Rocher! :-)

    Lol at the pregnant bunny. Also slightly off topic but I have just discovered that a Home Bargains has opened in Reading...woo hoo, bargains for me!

    Back on topic, it's a shame that the bunny wasn't holding an actual Ferrero Rocher but that would probably be difficult to make.

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
