New! Ritter Sport Caramel Orange: Winter-Kreation 2013 Bar Review

-
Christmas editition of Ritter Sport containing a caramel and orange flavour cream filling

Many thanks to the fantastic Monster Sweets for sending me this Ritter Sport bar to review recently! This is a new addition to Ritter Sport's 2013 Winter Kreations range, which comprises of Caramel Orange, Kokos-macrone (Coconut Macaroon) and Gebrannte Mandel (Caramelized Almonds).

Do take a moment to check out Monster Sweets newly revamped webstore - they stock a lot of hard-to-find European and American snacks at competitive prices, including an extensive variety of Ritter Sport and Milka bars. I highly recommend them for unique and tasty snacks that you won't find anywhere else in the UK!

Onto the chocolate then, this Caramel Orange bar had no English writing on the packaging but it roughly translates as "Milk chocolate with caramel and orange flavour cream". I've tried the Ritter Sport Crema Catalana bar before and this Caramel Orange sounded like a very similar proposition, and indeed it was! Infact I would go so far as saying it's better than the Crema Catalana, which is high praise coming from me as I absolutely loved that bar!

The filling combines the rich, buttery flavour of smooth caramel cream with a subtle tang of orange, all coated in creamy milk chocolate. It's the perfect flavour for a Christmas-themed bar as it evokes the taste of Terrys Chocolate Orange, but is much more luxurious. The caramel cream is just delightful and tastes creamy and extremely moreish. I found myself constantly reaching for "just one more" piece, but that's not to say it wasn't satisfying - it's far more filling and substantial than most cheaper chocolates out there!

Overall, this is yet another fantastic creation from Ritter Sport which I can't recommend highly enough. Ritter always come up with some great combinations and this bar is no exception, it's just a shame it's a Christmas limited edition and not easily available in the UK. I would definitely recommend giving one of these as a Christmas gift instead of Terry's Chocolate Orange this year!

Please stay tuned for my review of the Ritter Sport Winter Kreation Coconut Macaroon bar!

    I'm planning to buy this chocolate as soon as it hits local stores. I was a little disappointed last year with the Gebrannte Mendel version so I hope this year will be better.

    I love the idea of this. I'm not the biggest fan of chocolate orange (I don't hate it, just find it a bit boring), but the combination here with the caramel sounds very interesting!

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
