Daim Ice Cream Sticks Review

daim ice cream sticks

No visit to the seaside would be complete without ice cream, and since I can't have regular cone ice creams due to gluten allergy I decided to make do with these new Daim ice cream sticks instead. I've had my eye on these ever since they first appeared in Morrisons, but with an RRP of £2.49 I found them a bit too pricey. However they were reduced to £1.49 so I couldn't say no!

There's 3 sticks per box, each one weighing 71g. They're described as "Caramel ice creams with milk chocolate coated caramel and almond pieces, covered in milk chocolate with almond-caramel pieces". So there's bits of Daim in both the ice cream and the chocolate coating!

By the time I opened the box the ice creams were very soft, so much so that in the above pic the ice cream was nearly ready to break in half!

Taking a bite, I was met with a nice soft ice cream with a satisfying caramel flavour. There were some Daim pieces mixed in, giving it a nice crunch, but not quite as many as I'd have liked. There were yet more Daim pieces in the chocolate coating, which was the bit that really stood out: the chocolate tasted smooth and creamy, with the Daim pieces bringing a moreish toffee crunchiness. These are definitely some very tasty ice creams!

Overall, these Daim ice creams are pretty yummy and if you can find them at a reduced price I'd highly recommend giving them a try. Just don't pay the full price of £2.49 (I believe they'll be £1.49 for a while at Morrisons, so try them while you can!)

    It didn't even occur to me about the gluten in a 99! What a total joke :( xx

      :( I think you can get some GF cones but who can be bothered when at the beach right?

      Give it a few years and GF options will be available at the seaside - Changes are happening even if slowly! xx

    You have to try Tesco's salted caramel ice cream sticks (not the standard ones, the double coated). They are by far the best ice cream sticks around (and I think I've tried most of them��).

      I think the Daim flavour could have been better, with the ice cream having more of a burnt toffee taste and more daim pieces in it too. Though at £1.25 from Iceland I couldn't complain too much other than with the fact that I had to eat the rest of them rather than my preferred Oreo ice creams which are absolutely delicious however probably not gluten free. Would rate them probably around 5/10. Seriously tempted into trying the Tesco salted caramel ice cream sticks now. 😋

    Regular body hair doesn’t grow as quickly as hair from your scalp, so body hair retains drug metabolites longer than regular hair. There are some DIY methods you can do at home to pass your test. The most important thing is that you stop using marijuana as you detox. The longer you avoid using drugs, the better your chance of passing a drug test. Given that it takes up to half a year to fully cleanse your body, not everyone has that luxury. You can also completely shave your head but it’s too obvious and they might request another sample.

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

-
Image
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
