Kev's Snack Reviews

Recently Kellogg's announced a new product launch that got everyone rather excited indeed - they've gone and made a white chocolate version of Coco Pops! Yes, these have been flying off the shelves in Asda as everyone's so excited to try them. I'm pleased that white chocolate is so popular - it kind of flies against the companies saying that white chocolate limited editions aren't  popular in the UK doesn't it? These are made with 30% less sugar and cost around £2.50 depending on where you get them from. They're currently in Tesco and Asda and presumably other stores too. A lot of people have been saying on Instagram that these are just rice krispies, which luckily isn't true - they have a white chocolate flavoured coating to give the white chocolatey flavour. Although "white chocolate flavour rice krispies" might have been a more accurate description of them I guess. They taste pretty good! There's a nice comforting white chocolate...

It's that time of month again...no, not for a grumpy Kev who craves chocolate but a time to lust over new food products, with a jam (and cake) packed edition of Spotted In Shops! There's been quite a lot of new releases on the shelves in the month since Christmas, so let's take a look at what's out there. Hold on tight you're in for a sugary ride! Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg 'N' Spoon Oreo: Cadbury's have replaced their Vanilla Egg 'N' Spoons (Which I loved!) with this new version containing Oreo cookie pieces. Available in all supermarkets. Twix Chocolate Caramel Cookies: Last year we got Twix Spread, but this year Twix is getting the cookie treatment! Who knows what we'll get next...Twix Doughnut anyone? Spotted in Tesco, fresh bakery section. Oreo Thins UK version: Oreos have slimmed down! I hear these are very good...available in both Original Vanilla and Chocolate Cream flavours . Spotted in Tesco. McVitie's...

There's been a plethora of new products released recently, so much so that it's hard to keep up with them all! Here's a few I've spotted since the Xmas Edition  of Spotted In Shops...

Häagen Dazs Marc De Champagne Truffle (Limited Edition): Häagen Dazs have released this limited edition Marc De Champagne Truffle flavour in time for Christmas. It contains a swirl of marc de champagne sauce and chocolate truffle pieces in vanilla ice cream. It costs £4.45 per tub at Waitrose.

Today's post is a quick roundup of some interesting snacks I've seen in shops recently but didn't buy. This happens quite often as there's always something new, weird or imported popping up in my local shops, but it's not practical to review them all, as much as I'd like to! First up are these "Bubble Bars" which I spotted in both Poundzone and B&M Bargains. There's a milk chocolate and white chocolate version. Can you say "Aero knockoff"?!    Next up are these Lyle's Golden Syrup ice cream cones, which I spotted in a discount frozen food store called Heron Foods. I'm not sure if they're available in supermarkets or not. They're described as "Crisp biscuit cones with golden syrup ice cream and Lyle's golden syrup". Sounds delicious! In the same store I also spotted these Coco Pops Chocos. I'm not really sure if they're new, limited edition or imported as I don't keep up with cerea...
