Cadbury Dairy Milk with Chips Ahoy! Cookies Review

-
cadbury dairy milk chips ahoy cookies

The new products from Cadbury this year keep on rolling in...with the latest addition to the Dairy Milk range being this new variety with Chips Ahoy! Cookies. It's an odd addition since most UK folks have never heard of Chips Ahoy! cookies before - they aren't even sold over here! Maybe Mondelez are planning to launch them soon though.

The bar contains a biscuit flavoured cream filling, with pieces of chocolate chip cookies embedded within - it's somewhat similar to the Dairy Milk with Oreo bar in fact.

The chocolate smelled very biscuity, and according to the wrapper the filling is "biscuit flavoured" so I don't know if they've mixed biscuit paste with it as well as the cookie pieces.

It tasted good, in fact very good and I would say it even surpasses the delicious Dairy Milk with Oreo! The filling was very dense and creamy with a rich biscuity flavour, with the cookie pieces bringing a nice crunchiness and the chocolate chips adding further to the texture. I've never tried Chips Ahoy! cookies before so I can't say if these are like the real thing, but they're certainly very tasty.

Overall, this is a welcome addition to the Dairy Milk brand and one I hope sticks around. Although, I do think it might have some competition with the Oreo variety since they're both rather similar bars. I hope next time Cadbury bring out a new flavour they choose something without biscuit, such as coconut filled Dairy Milk, or Peanut Butter Dairy Milk (they've already done this in other countries!)...now that would be a real winner!

    You're right - how weird to use Chips Ahoy! when not many Brits have heard of the brand! I can't wait to get my hands on this though so thanks for the heads-up (I hadn't picked up on this variety before!) :)

    I'm still dreaming of the day they do a peanut butter Dairy Milk too...

      Me too, it seems so obvious! Maybe they don't want to compete with Reese's though..

    Another bar that would sell well in the US but thanks to that dodgy 1988 Hershey/Cadbury contract it probably won't ever be released there. It would do well in Canada though (if it isn't there already).

      Canada do their own interesting Dairy Milk bars, I believe...I'm sure they do a pretzel/peanut butter combination. That Hershey deal is so odd, but I'm surprised Kraft don't just launch these bars with a different name in the US. They could push the Milka brand, for example.

    Oh man, I've been on the look out for this! I'll double check all my nearby Tescos. I love Chips Ahoy!, them and Oreos are basically the only shelf cookies in the game in the USA, so I'm a fan naturally. Hearing that it's cream flavored like biscuits...boy, that sounds unreal. Great review!

    I've had Chips Ahoy cookies before and they're simple chocolate chip biscuits. I loved the Cadbury Oreo bar so I have high hopes for this one now! :)

    Is it supposed to be a pirate character ? Hence the cutlass. "Chips ahoy" = "Ship ahoy" ?!

    Noooo! I am devastated that this isn't vegetarian :( probably use shellac in it or something like that, great review though! :)

      Shellac is vegetarian. I'm guessing this isn't veggie because they've used whey powder that comes from animal rennet-containing cheese. Just like the nutty Marvelous Creations one. Stupid Cadbury.

    don't bother trying this newest flavour from krafts cadbury. It's horrible tastes rank and just not worth being on the shelves. The chocolate is overpowringly sweet and not much of cookie taste to it. Krafts should leave cadbury alone they have ruined a very british brand now longer tastes the same as it used to.

    The mixture of cookies chocolate is just weird. I tried Milka Chips Ahoy and they taste, blah. So no hopes this one will taste better.

    I never know but it could taste nice. I never purchased Cadbury items and it is staying that way.

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 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
