-
There's been a plethora of new products released recently, so much so that it's hard to keep up with them all! Here's a few I've spotted since the Xmas Edition of Spotted In Shops...

Marks & Spencer Percy's Pink Porridge:

What better breakfast for the cold Winter months than pink porridge with the flavour of Percy Pig sweets?! Spotted at Marks & Spencer.

Häagen Dazs Marc De Champagne Truffle (Limited Edition):
haagen dazs vanilla ice cream with marc de champagne truffle swirl and truffle pieces

 Häagen Dazs have released this limited edition Marc De Champagne Truffle flavour in time for Christmas. It contains a swirl of marc de champagne sauce and chocolate truffle pieces in vanilla ice cream. It costs £4.45 per tub at Waitrose.

Magnum Chocolate and Raspberry Ice Cream:

Also in Waitrose were these new tubs of Magnum chocolate and raspberry ice cream, which contains milk & dark chocolate Magnum pieces, chocolate ice cream and raspberry sauce.

Heston from Waitrose Malted Milk and Marmalade Ice Cream:
malted milk flavour ice cream with marmalade sauce

 Waitrose have also added this new variety to their "Heston from Waitrose" range, which contains malted milk flavour ice cream with a seville orange marmalade ripple.

 Snowy Puffs:
honey puffs with pieces of meringue

These Winter limited edition "Snowy Puffs" are a spinoff of Sugar Puffs that contain bits of meringue along with regular sugar puffs. Here's a blurb from honeymonster.co.uk:
"Honey Monster is back with the release of my coolest cereal yet, Snowy Puffs, and there's no better way to get into the spirit of the season than by curling up with a big bowl. Adding a touch of brrrr-illiance to the original Sugar Puffs, Snowy Puffs comes with delicious meringue snowballs."
For a full review see Foodstuff Finds post on them HERE. Spotted at Poundland.

 Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares Cookie Crunch:
cookie crunch flavour kelloggs rice krispies squares

I'm not really a fan of Rice Krispies Squares but this Cookie Crunch variety had a "new" label on and I've not seen them anywhere else, so I thought I'd snap a pic anyway! Spotted at Poundland.

New GU After Dark Zillionaires' Puds:
classic millionaires shortbread - chocolate biscuit crumbs, salted caramel made with sea salt from france, treacle infused cheesecake and our richest ever ganache

 These new GU Puds are "A decadent evolution of the classic millionaires’ shortbread: chocolate biscuit crumb, salted caramel made with sea salt from Guérande in western France, treacle-infused cheesecake and our richest ever ganache". Sounds amazing! Spotted at Waitrose.

Divine's Milk Tooth Chocolate:
smooth milk chocolate with delicious chunks of delicately roasted milk teeth

This bizarre Milk Tooth Chocolate from Divine is described as "A smooth milk chocolate, with utterly delicious chunks of delicately roasted milk teeth. Our chocolate is made with only the finest quality molars, gathered by our skilled team of tooth fairies - and children are always paid a fair price for their teeth". Can you guess what it really contains? Spotted in a local department store for £2.50.

Well, that's it for today's Spotted In Shops...if you've tried any of these new products please let me know in the comments!

    That Milk Teeth chocolate freaks me out a little, especially the description.

    The Percy Porridge is very cute though :)

    Hey Kev, I love your reviews! Do you accept requests of things to review? I'd love to see one of a product that I always seen in Poundland called Turner's Chocolate Assortment. There's a link to them here: http://www.poundland.co.uk/food-and-drink/sweets-and-snacks/sweets-and-mints/tuners-milk-chocolate-assortment

    They also do them in Iceland.I'm SO desperate to see a review of them!
    Thanks,
    Lilly.

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
