Magnum Double Peanut Butter UK

Magnum double peanut butter

I'm a bit late reviewing these new Double Peanut Butter Magnums..when they first came out I was on another sugar detox and had to sadly look on whenever I saw them. I've since made up for lost time though, and these were one of the first things in my basket when I started on the sugar again!

It's unfortunate that Magnums have had to shrink in size, it's a measure to try and keep the calories under 250 which is fair enough, but still...it leaves a bad taste in the mouth and means that yet again we are paying more money for less. That doesn't matter though if the products taste great, right?

Well thankfully these Magnums are spot-on in terms of indulgence. The ice cream is peanut butter flavoured, with a nice savoury flavour that's just about right for a peanut butter ice cream. It's coated in a darker chocolatey "flavoured" layer, which is surrounded by a peanutty caramel sauce, and then coated in milk chocolate. The caramel adds the perfect indulgent twist, lifting what would otherwise be an ordinary Magnum to something a big more naughty. I really enjoyed these! 


Overall, these are some seriously tasty Magnums. I do think they could be improved with a more peanutty flavoured sauce or a layer of "real" peanut butter, but maybe that wouldn't work too well when frozen. Either way, these are pretty yummy ice creams and ones I would buy again. 

8 out of 10.

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
