Marks & Spencer The Dark One Chocolate Bar

marks and spencer the dark one chocolate bar

So I've tried The White One and The Milk One from M&S, now I thought it about time I finally go to the dark side and try The Dark One...I could feel the evil rushing into my hands as soon as I bought this! ;)

As any fan of the popular series Once Upon A Time will know (hi Cakey!) The Dark One is the formal title of the evil Rumplestiltskin, so I was feeling both excited and nervous trying this...would it turn me into a crocodile?!

Thankfully not...the hand lives to tell the tell, huzzah! What we have here is a simple Dark Chocolate bar containing 50% cocoa solids, with curved shaped blocks and the M&S logo printed on each one. Helpfully the last block is called "the last one", although as The Cakey One pointed out to me, the last one could also be the first one depending on how you eat it...so maybe you need to rethink this bar, M&S!

It tasted okay, it's simple plain chocolate that's sweet and smooth. If you like sweeter dark chocolate rather than high cocoa stuff you'll enjoy this, it's like Cadbury Bournville but nicer. Personally though I prefer something darker...this Dark One wasn't dark enough for me!

Overall, this is a nice bar if you're a fan of plain chocolate but if you like chocolate above 70% cocoa you'll want to look elsewhere.

7.5 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

-
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
