Solkiki Toasted White Vegan Chocolate

Another #veganuary review today, and this time it's for a very special bar indeed. This is an "Academy of Chocolate Bronze 2016 Winner", made in micro batches with directly traded single estate cacao. It's called Solkiki Toasted White and is minimally processed with only three ingredients: organic cold-pressed cacao butter, organic cane sugar and organic coconut. Does the lack of extra ingredients make it boring? Definitely not!

As well as being vegan and dairy free, like all of Solkiki's chocolates this bar is GMO free, and free from pesticides and herbicides. It's made in Solkiki's renewable factory, which offers only uncut, unprocessed chocolate. Pretty impressive!

I love the presentation of the bar; it feels super special with it's mysterious black wrapper.

There's a "Tasting Notes" board where you can mark which flavours you feel best describe the chocolate. Such a fun touch! There's also this cheeky Day Of The Dead skull making an appearance:

Onto the chocolate then, opening the wrapper it had a sweet, slightly biscuity aroma. I couldn't wait to get stuck in!

There's no blocks on the bar, you just snap off as much as you fancy, which is always a good thing in my book! There's flowery patterns printed on the chocolate as well as the Solkiki logo.

I took a bite. Oh my...this is the nicest vegan chocolate I've ever tasted! Seriously seriously good. It's unebelievably creamy and silky in the mouth, with a lovely smooth texture. It makes me think of Milkbar, but if it were made with super high quality ingredients, and without milk obviously. There's a nice cacao flavour from the cacao butter mixed in with the more biscuity flavours, which are presumably from the coconut. Unlike most vegan white chocolates it doesn't taste "thin" or "light", it's a fuller bodied flavour that makes it more reminiscent of white chocolate with milk in.

This was an absolute delight, and although it's satisfying, in the words of Mary Berry:


Unfortunately, at £3.50 a bar this is not an every day indulgence, but I'm not complaining because good quality ingredients don't come cheap. Chocolate like this is something to savour as a true treat.

Overall, I really can't sing this bars praises enough, and I don't think you have to be dairy free or vegan to appreciate it - it's just good chocolate!

9.5 out of 10.

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 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...
