Marks & Spencer Salted Caramel Whip

-

Marks & Sparks have jumped on the Salted Caramel bandwagon, yay! I must admit I was rather excited when I spotted this in M&S the other day, as was the lady next to me in the queue; "I can't wait to get this bad boy home!" she proclaimed. Some people are easily pleased, I guess!

Described as "milk chocolate filled with soft mallow and salted caramel, with dark chocolate, butterscotch and a caramel white chocolate hazelnut" this cost me 65p. Opening the wrapper I was struck by the unusual shape...it doesn't look like a regular walnut whip at all!


I first bit off the caramel white chocolate hazelnut, which was a nice mixture of savoury and sweet but nothing spectacular in and of itself. I then bit into the whip and got a nice mix of mallow, caramel and chocolate.


It tasted very nice...the milk chocolate is good quality with a nice smooth melt, the mallow is sweet and gooey and the salted caramel adds an extra sweet buttery flavour to the mix. I couldn't really taste the salt much but there was definitely a hint of it. I didn't really notice the dark chocolate much either, it got lost amongst the mix of sweet flavours.

Overall, this gets a thumbs up from me, it's a tasty and novel take on the humble walnut whip and although it's slightly lacking in the salted caramel department, it's pretty good regardless.

8 out of 10.

    I saw this when I was in M&S today; they've got a chocolate fudge version too! Yum! I really want to try it but cant justify buying one when I have literally a mountain of Christmas chocolate.

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
