Snickers White Chocolate: Limited Edition (UK)

snickers white chocolate

Today's post is all thanks to my wonderful blogger pal and part time snacks-dealer Reaching For Refreshment. She kindly sent me some of the new Limited Edition White Chocolate Snickers bars recently, which only seem to be available in a handful of Premier stores in the UK. There was no English writing on the wrapper; just Polish and Romanian, so presumably they're imported from one of those two countries. I have no idea if they're suitable for vegetarians or what ingredients they have - safe to say they contain nuts and milk, though!

Removing the wrapper, I was surprised how dinky the Snickers looked. I don't often eat Snickers bars so I keep forgetting that like most other chocolate bars these days, the size has shrunk somewhat. This one weighs in at 49 grams.

I didn't waste any time and split the bar in half. Plenty of golden caramel oozed out...

There were plenty of peanuts visible within the caramel and the nougat too. I prepared myself for what was bound to be a very sweet taste sensation...

And indeed it was very sweet! At first I didn't really notice much about the white chocolate - it's milky and sugary, but as it's a thin layer it takes a while to notice any deeper flavours. I decide to make a coffee to eat the rest of it with...and the heat from the coffee allowed the chocolate to melt in the mouth more easily. This brought out the creamier flavour that white chocolate is known for, and made for a very enjoyable peanutty, nougatty sweet experience.

Overall, this is definitely a nice Snickers variation and I'm so glad I got to try it...it's something I've wanted to see from Snickers for years. However it wasn't quite as amazing as I had built it up to be. Don't get me wrong it's a nice bar, but the white chocolate just isn't the best around. I would probably try one again if I see it locally but it's not something I would go out of my way for.

If you want to try one of these for yourself, do take a look in Premier Stores if you've got one nearby, or failing that there's always eBay.

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 pr...

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...
