Cloetta Popsy Original - Swedish Chocolate Dragees Review
Over the festive period I spotted these Cloetta Popsy in 99p Stores and thought "Ooh that looks a bit different!" Cloetta is a Swedish brand; I've tried their "Center" bar before and really enjoyed it so was looking forward to trying these!
They're described as "soft foam dragees with a taste of chocolate, arrack, buttertoffee and vanilla". I had no idea what flavour "arrack" is so did a quick google to reveal that it is in fact "a distilled alcoholic drink typically produced in South Asia and Southeast Asia, made from either the fermented sap of coconut flowers, sugarcane, grain (e.g. red rice) or fruit, depending upon the country of origin" (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrack).
I wasn't sure what to expect but they turned out to be a mixture of chewy caramels (the "buttertoffee" variety) and chewy marshmallow style dragees with vanilla and alcohol flavouring. Some were coated in milk chocolate and some in dark chocolate, all of which tasted rather cheap, but despite this they were weirdly addictive and I couldn't stop reaching for more! They reminded me of "Princess Chocolate Coated Mallows" but were much chewier. The arrack flavour gave a slight alcoholic edge which was rather pleasant as it wasn't too strong or overpowering.
Overall, these Cloetta Popsy are a curious novelty and once you get past their hard chewy texture they're really rather moreish. If you happen to spot these in 99p Stores or their sister company Family Bargains you can't go wrong trying a pack!
RATING: 7 out of 10.
Price: 99p at 99p Stores or Family Bargains.
Not suitable for vegetarians.
Made in Sweden.
Ooh, I rather like these but haven't seen them for a while. We used to buy them in Ikea and managed to get our hands on some during a recent tip to Scandinavia. I totally agree, they're so moreish and I love the texture. Less keen on the arrack flavour but overall they're a winner for me!
ReplyDeleteI picked up some of these in the 99p store. I love them! Good spot
ReplyDeleteI got loads of these when I was in Sweden last year, over there they are called Polly. They have some awesome strawberry ones and some not so awesome coconut ones!
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the sound of a strawberry version!
DeleteHello all my viewers After being in relationship with my husband for years, he broke up with me. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before three days. He cast the spell and surprisingly on the second day, my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened, That He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again, Contact Dr rahim Today the great Spell caster that can help you with any relationship issues, allmightbazulartemple@gmail.com or whatsap +2347051758952 Interesting to know that Dr rahim also have solutions to problems like

DeleteAvailable at IKEA
ReplyDelete9/30/22...Just bought these today at IKEA in Canton, Michigan. They are weird but good! The filling is rather stiff, not what we would call 'foam', but the taste of the arrack ones is very good and definitely 'alcoholish'. It was cool to try something new!
