Lindt Lindor Strawberries & Cream (Limited Edition) Review

-
lindt lindor strawberries and cream

I've been itching to try these new Limited Edition Lindor Strawberries and Cream since they first appeared in shops a few weeks ago, and luckily thanks to a slew of recent discounts I couldn't say no - I picked them up for £3 at Sainsbury's, and they're around the £3 mark in other stores too.

They're described as "White chocolate truffles with strawberries and cream and a smooth melting filling", and are basically white chocolate Lindor with added flecks of strawberry and a strawberry truffle centre. The ingredients list both cream and strawberry powder, so these are genuinely made of both strawberries and cream!

Unwrapping one I was met with what can only be described as the smell of strawberry milkshake. This was a good sign!

Cutting it open revealed the slightly pink coloured centre which was quite firm at this point:

Popping a whole one in my mouth I was first met with the creamy white chocolate - it was excellent quality and the cream powder was very evident. As the filling began to melt it released a strawberry milkshake-like flavour - it tasted absolutely delicious, and it wasn't long before I was reaching for another! These were insanely addictive and surprisingly not too sickly for white chocolates.

Overall, these Lindor strawberries and cream are a triumph - the perfect gift for Valentines Day...or scoffing all to yourself! I'll definitely be stocking up on them before they disappear from shelves.

RATING: 9 out of 10.

Price: £3 at Sainsbury's (along with rest of the Lindor range). Also available at Wilkinsons, Morrisons, Tesco.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Doesn't state on packaging.
Allergy Information: Contains milk, soya. May contain nuts.

    Ah you beat me to it! I thought I'd done well finding them the day after they were announced for £3.50 in Wilkinson. Made up they seem as good as I hoped though. Don't think I'll be opening mine for a while as my high stock levels mean I have to prioritise best before dates!

    I bought these from Tesco the other night and they're gorgeous. They reminded me of the Hello My Name Is Strawberry Cheesecake bar minus the cheesecake taste and white chocolate in place of milk. When I first bit into one the chocolate was a tad crumbly and the filling was firm (probably due to the cold weather) but at room temperature, the filling softened.

    I can't wait to try these! I've been searching my local supermarkets for ages but my Sainsburys doesn't have them in yet. Safe to say I'll be picking up a box as soon as I see them.

    " As the filling began to melt it released a strawberry milkshake-like flavour - it tasted absolutely delicious "

    Thanks Kev A.! This ( what I quoted from your review above ) is exactly what I both wanted to know, & was hoping you would say! See I eat pretty clean all the time, but was treat myself with a " cheat " once in awhile. So I like to make sure I don't waste it on something not worthy, lol. I was nervous I'd get these for Valentine's Day only to be disappointed if they didn't taste as if hoed, Strawberry milkshake is just what I'm hoping for. Can't wait to try them!

      Sorry but that was not the reaction to the strawberry and cream truffle by Lindt. I am being honest. Though a delicate strawberry taste had a lingering bitter note and was slightly greasy. Wouldn’t buy it again.

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...
