BoxChoc Jeffrey's Chocolate Orange Buttons

-

A big thankyou to the lovely Carol from BoxChoc who sent me these Jeffrey's Chocolate Orange Buttons to review recently!

Boxchoc are a small company specializing in hand-made chocolates using ethically sourced ingredients. Their range comprises of giant chocolate buttons, chocolate spoons, bars and chocolate pizzas. You can check out their stuff here:

These Chocolate Orange Buttons are ginormous! They're even bigger than the Yorkie Man Size Buttons I reviewed earlier in the year, and a lot tastier. They contain natural orange oil plus 39% cocoa solids, making them richer than your average mass-market chocolate.

Carol told me these got their name from her dog Jeffrey, who tried to eat some of the buttons whilst they were cooling. Naughty Jeffrey! On that note I think it's appropriate to say, "they're not Jeffrey's, they're mine!"


Taste-wise they were delicious, and far better than most mass-produced chocolate products. They had a delicious rich cocoa taste, with a nice creaminess that wasn't too sweet. They tasted very indulgent, and thanks to the massive size I found one button by itself to be very satisfying (although I still ate more...in the name of research of course!). I enjoyed them with a cup of coffee, which was the perfect accompaniment.

Overall I thought these Jeffrey's Chocolate Orange Buttons were a delicious and good quality treat - something to savour all to yourself. They came packaged in a cardboard "pizza" box, which I thought was a nice touch (BoxChoc also do a range of "chocolate pizzas"). I would highly recommend these if you're a fan of orange flavoured chocolates, or indulgent chocolates in general. They're far superior to Terry's Chocolate Orange.

Price: £3.
Ingredients: Contains 39% cacao and natural orange oil. Contains 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).

Cadbury Dream Ice Creams - back for Summer! (UK)

-

If you've sorely missed Cadbury Dream White Chocolate since it was withdrawn from UK shelves many years ago, fear not, it's going to be back for Summer, albeit in a colder form - yes, ice cream! Dream Ice Creams have been in shops sporadically for several years now (including a Strawberry variety that was exclusive to Farmfoods) but finally they're getting an official release just for the Summer, yay! It will be sold in major supermarkets in packs of three, and impulse sticks will cost £1.80 from convenience stores. Maybe Cadbury are testing the waters to see how popular they are...who knows, maybe the proper Cadbury Dream bar may be resurrected if sales are good! You can already find Cadbury Dream ice creams in Fultons Foods , a Northern based frozen food store if you're lucky enough to live near one (there's a store finder in the link above). I'm not sure if they sell imports or the official UK version, but here's some I spotted in there recently:

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

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
