Thorntons The Snowman & The Snowdog Milk Chocolate Characters (Quick Review)

-

I bought these Thorntons "The Snowman and The Snowdog" milk chocolate characters whilst looking for a quick chocolatey snack in Morrisons recently. I wanted something I hadn't tried before and cost £1 or less, and these fit the bill perfectly!

As they were Thorntons branded I expected decent quality chocolate, and that's exactly what I got. The chocolates come in shapes themed after The Snowman and The Snowdog, and tasted creamy and milky with a good cocoa flavour (30% cocoa solids min). It was certainly better quality than Cadbury's or Nestlé's chocolate, and for £1 made a good chocolate fix. It would've been nice if there were some caramel-filled chocolates in there for a bit of variety though...

Overall, as Christmas snacks go these are a simple but tasty option. They may not be quite as exciting as the likes of the Maltesers Reindeer or Galaxy Gift For You, but they're good quality chocolates for the price!

Price: 99p at Morrisons.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.

 RATING: 7 out of 10. 

 *No pics of the chocolates I'm afraid as I ate them all before getting a chance to take a photo!

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
