Cadbury Dairy Milk Popping Candy Freddo

-

We're not used to different flavours of Freddo in the UK - unlike Australia who get varieties such as strawberry, mint, white chocolate, hundreds and thousands, etc. But Mondelez are trying to change that this year, with the release of this new Dairy Milk Freddo Popping Candy in time for Christmas. The packaging comes in a "knitted" style design, which Cadbury are rolling out across their entire Christmas range this year.


These Freddos do exactly what they say on the tin - they're simply Dairy Milk chocolate with the addition of a bit of popping candy, in the shape of Freddo the frog. The chocolate tasted nice enough; it was very sweet and creamy as Dairy Milk is known for. The popping candy brought a slight crackle to my mouth but nothing majorly exciting.


Overall, as tasty as these were I think they're a bit of a boring limited edition for Christmas. It would've been far more exciting if Cadbury had brought out the strawberry or mint-filled Freddo's that are already available in Australia...or even the ones with hundreds and thousands!

Price: 20p each, available at Tesco and some newsagents.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.
Allergy Information: Contains milk and soya. May contain gluten, wheat, nuts.
Nutrition Information (per 18g Freddo): 95 Calories, 5.2g Fat (3.2g Saturates), 10.5g Carbohydrates (10.5g Sugars).

    I agree popping candy is so boring! Peppermint would have been much better themed for Christmas as well!

      Agreed! Or maybe even peppermint bark like they get in the US.

    I really am envious of the Australian varieties on offer. Worse is that any I've tried from there have usually gone bad in transit.

    I noticed that there is a difference in the Dairy Milk logo. Are they changing it again, do you know?

      I'm not sure..it could be just something they're doing for their Christmas products.

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
