Tesco Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Review

-

When I spotted this new Peanut Butter chocolate bar in Tesco I just couldn't resist giving it a try. I've always bemoaned the lack of peanut butter chocolates in the UK, we only seem to get Reese's products and that's about it. The trend may be starting to catch on though...

Unfortunately if this offering from Tesco is anything to go by, I can't see the trend lasting! As peanut butter chocolates go this one was pretty bad.


Opening the wrapper I was met with a faint peanutty aroma and sweet milk chocolate. The blocks are quite chunky, and you get a decent amount for your money. I cut through a few pieces so you can see the filling - it's like a smooth paste, and takes up most of the blocks.


Tasting a piece, I was met with a salty, savoury flavour that didn't taste much of peanut, but more like a peanut-flavoured salty cream. It wasn't very pleasant and it didn't really go with the milk chocolate. The chocolate itself was very sugary and cheap-tasting, which didn't help!


Overall, as good as this bar may sound on paper, it's a poor offering from Tesco for a peanut butter chocolate. I don't know how they managed to get it so wrong to be honest! Stick to Reese's folks!

RATING: 5 out of 10. 

 Price: 75p at Tesco.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.
Allergy Information: Contains nuts, dairy. May contain soya.

    Buy a bar of your favourite milk chocolate and spread peanut butter on it!

    There is just something special about Reese's. Even in America, where we truly love a good PB & chocolate combo, the king remains Reese's! Too bad Tesco fobbed it so much, but I'm glad that they at least attempted something a bit more risky.

    I like to read articles that express interesting views. Many points the author made are unique and are things I wouldn't have thought about.

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
