Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse Snowman (new for Xmas 2014!)

-

It's September so of course that means it's officially time for Christmas products to appear on shelves! I must admit I felt a bit silly looking at the new Christmas section in Tesco recently...until I reminded myself that I'm just doing research on behalf of you, my dear readers! ;)

There wasn't much new apart from this Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse Snowman - which joins the Vanilla Mousse Snowman launched last year - and is described as "Milk chocolate with a soft milk chocolate flavoured mousse filling".


Like the vanilla variety it comes in a simple snowman shape. Cutting into the poor chap revealed the chocolatey filling...not very snowy is he!


Whilst I thought the Vanilla Mousse Snowman was too sweet, I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this version a lot more. The chocolate flavour was pleasantly rich and comforting, and not overpoweringly sweet, plus it was extremely creamy. I had expected it to be rather plain and boring, but it actually makes a good alternative to the sweeter vanilla variety.

Overall, as simple as this flavour is it's a nice partner to the vanilla version and I'm sure many will be enjoying these over the next 4 months or so. It might not be Christmas every day...but at least you can pretend it is with these! ;)

RATING: 8 out of 10.

Price: 2 for £1 at Tesco & Co-Op.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.
Allergy Information: Contains milk. May contain nuts.

    Yep Tesco always seem to be out first with Christmas goods. My local had Christmas puddings, bombes, panettones, shortbread tins, festive toblerones, various mince pies, Mr Kipling Gingerbread Whirls and quite a few other bits!! I was getting confused with the Halloween things ha.

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
