Cadbury Creme Egg Biscuits Review

-

I've been on the hunt for these new Creme Egg biscuits for a while now. I usually manage to spot new products in shops immediately but these proved to be quite illusive here up North! Luckily I finally found a pack in Tesco this week for a reasonable £1.


There's 6 biscuits per pack which is a decent amount for the price. They're made by Burtons Biscuits under license from Cadbury (who produce famous biscuits such as Wagon Wheels, Jammie Dodgers, Maryland Cookies etc), and look rather similar to other biscuits in this range such as the Cadbury Caramel and Turkish Delight biscuits.

The difference being of course that they contain a layer of the famous gooey fondant that is Creme Egg! Here it is in all its gooey glory:


Taste-wise they were good...almost too good. They surprised me by just how much they managed to recreate the classic creme egg flavour - that super-sweet vanilla hinted fondant that we all know and love! The biscuit base brought a nice chocolatey crunch and of course the chocolate coating topped it all off nicely, making these a rather moreish snack. Needless to say it wasn't long before I ate all 6 biscuits, some of which I dunked in coffee to make them super-duper tasty!


Overall, these are a fantastic novelty Easter product and certainly didn't disappoint on the creme egg front. If you're a fan of Cadbury Creme Eggs you definitely have to try these out!

RATING: 8 out of 10.

    Good review as always, it's "elusive" though

    I normally like a good creme egg, sweet as they are, these were a bit much though.

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
