Spotted In Shops! - Cadbury Fingers Salted Peanut, Milkybar Milk & Cookies...

-
As many of you may have noticed I've been a bit quiet since Christmas...what can I say, life has been hectic recently! I did manage to find time to snap a few pics of some new products to hit the shelves for 2015 though, and here they are!...

 Milkybar Milk & Cookies Sharing Block:

 Nestlé have already done a Milk & Cookies Milkybar, way back in 2004, but it didn't last for long. Let's hope this large Sharing Block variety sticks around! Spotted in Asda. For a review of the US version see Grocery Gems post from 2012 here.

Cadbury Fingers Salted Peanut Crunch:

Apparently Cadbury are planning to launch a variety of new flavours for the Fingers range this year, and first up is Salted Peanut Crunch - an unusual flavour for us Brits, but I have it on good authority they taste pretty good! Spotted at Tesco.

Cadbury Fingers Salted Caramel Crunch:

The other new variety is Salted Caramel Crunch, which is a bit late to the "salted caramel" party (that was so 2014!). Still, better late than never Cadbury! Spotted at both Tesco and Morrisons. I wonder what other new flavours will join the range?

That's all for today's brief post... be sure to let me know if you see any new products in shops via Twitter or Email. I've heard rumors of the Cadbury Dairy Milk Crispies bar being resurrected...if you spot one please do let me know! As for Cadbury Creme Egg-gate...I won't be reviewing them as I stopped eating Creme Eggs a long time ago, thank goodness!

    Glad you're back!

    Salted Peanut sounds delicious - I'm bad with those Fingers biscuits though, I keep eating them once a pack is opened. It's much more difficult to figure out portion control & limiting yourself when the food is longer than it is wide, haha.

    I found Cadbury's Creme egg biscuits in Sainsbury's today. They cost £1 for a 106g pack and use the same chocolate as found in Dairy Milk, etc.

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
