New Cadbury Hazelnut Twist Eclairs

-

Not content with releasing Marvellous Creations, Dairy Milk Strawberries & Creme, Crunchums and Freddo Faces this year, Cadbury have also added this new variety to their Chocolate Eclairs range, called Hazelnut Twist.

I mentioned in my review of Milka Toffees on Monday that I was looking forward to trying these but didn't expect to find them quite so soon! I spotted them nestled unassumingly amongst the regular Cadbury Eclairs on a shopping trip to Morrisons, so quickly snapped up a pack. They're currently on offer there for £1.

The Eclairs come in the new resealable packs that most of Cadbury's bagged chocolate range now comes in, and are described as "Hazelnut flavour Cadbury milk chocolate encased in a chewy caramel".


Aesthetically, they look pretty much identical to regular Cadbury Eclairs:


Cutting one open revealed the chocolate and hazelnut flavoured centre, which was slightly crumbly:


Taste-wise, the caramel was very sweet and chewy, whilst the centre had a strong chocolatey hazelnut flavour. I would like to say that it tasted similar to Nutella, but it was a lot milder. Probably due to the fact that these Eclairs don't actually contain any hazelnut - the ingredients only lists "flavourings".

Overall I thought these were a decent new product from Cadbury (or Mondelez UK, as they're now called) - it's about time Eclairs got a new flavour variation, and I hope to see more in the future. Perhaps mint, or even coconut?

There's also an Orange Twist version of Eclairs, please check out my review of them here.

Price: £1 at Morrisons.
Ingredients: Suitable for vegetarians.
Allergy Advice: Contains milk & whey. May contain nuts.

    Oh these look amazing! Cadburys are on a roll at the moment! A coconut version would be delicious, enjoyed reading your review as always :)

    These do sound awesome, another one I am going to have to get the hubby. I think you guys have similar taste when it comes to snacks!

    Thanks for the info - but it doesn't say anywhere on the packaging that its suitable for vegetarians, so how do you know? Some chocolate products contain pork gelatine.

      Hi Tessa, I no longer have the packaging but as far as I remember there was no gelatine in the ingredients or anything not suitable for vegetarians. I will contact Cadbury's to check though.

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

-

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
