Lindt Hello My Name Is Range...Caramel Brownie & Strawberry Cheesecake (Sainsbury's Exclusive) Review

-

Whilst in Sainsbury's Local recently I spotted a stand bearing these new goodies from Lindt. They're part of a range called "Hello My Name Is..."  that are already available in Germany and from the UK Lindt online store. They're also now exclusively available at Sainsbury's, apparently, and come in 4 different varieties: Caramel Brownie, Strawberry Cheesecake, Cookies & Cream and Nougat Crunch. Each bar comes in a 39g stick format.

I chose Caramel Brownie and Strawberry Cheesecake as my first two to sample although will surely return to Sainsbury's soon to try the others!


Each bar carries the tagline "Nice to sweet you". Yes, these Lindt bars talk to you! Of course the only thing they would be "sweeting" was my belly, so how did they taste?

Hello My Name Is...Caramel Brownie
Caramel Brownie:
This bar is described as "Filled milk chocolate with caramel and brownie cream with dark biscuit pieces". It tasted - quite simply - amazing! The caramel was quite gooey and had a lovely buttery flavour, whilst the brownie cream was very rich and chocolatey with a nice crunch from the biscuit pieces. A perfect combination of tastes and textures - this was my favourite out of these two bars.

Hello My Name Is...Strawberry Cheesecake
Strawberry Cheesecake:
This one is described as "Filled milk chocolate with strawberry cream cheese and biscuit pieces filling". It was quite different from the Caramel Brownie bar but tasted just as delicious. The cream cheese filling was slightly sharp and tangy, just like cheesecake should be, and made for a lovely contrast with the sweeter strawberry flavour. The biscuit pieces added a nice savoury crunch which, combined with the cream cheese filling, made it very moreish. Overall, a very creamy and delicious bar that actually did taste like strawberry cheesecake.

Hello My Name Is...Strawberry Cheesecake
Overall
I think these new bars from Lindt are fantastic; they're indulgent whilst also offering something unique and a bit different. We've had endless new product releases from chocolate companies recently, but these bars stand out as offering truly good quality. I hope they're a big success and that we see more flavours from the "Hello" range in the future!

After trying these bars I can't wait to get my hands on the other two "Hello My Name Is..." flavours - please stay tuned for a review of those!

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 pr...

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...
