Nestle L'atelier Chocolates & Hazelnut Butterfinger Cups (Spotted In Shops)

Another Spotted In Shops quick post - this time for some new Nestle products gracing UK supermarkets!

First up, following on from the success of the Peanut Butter and Coconut Butterfinger Cups, Nestle have launched a Hazelnut version. So far they've only available in Asda.

Nestle Les Recettes de L'Atelier Blonde Roasted Almonds & Hazelnuts:

Nestle have launched their premium L'Atelier range exclusively into Sainsbiury's stores. This range has been very popular in various European countries so it seems Nestle are testing the waters over here. This blonde chocolate sure does sound tasty - but at £3.50 a block it ain't cheap! (though I have been told it's worth the price).

There's also this L'Atelier Blueberries, Almonds & Hazelnuts Dark Chocolate, available in smaller bars for £2:

Plus L'Atelier Orange Zest & Cacao Nibs Dark Chocolate:

As well as L'Atelier Raisins, Almonds & Hazelnuts Milk Chocolate...

Plus L'Atelier Roasted Almonds Dark Chocolate:

There's also a Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate bar in the range.

    Hey there. I saw these too. I'm sceptical re the blonde though. I reviewed one on my blog last year. If they are true blonde chocolates, they tend to be quite expensive, so it may be a bit more akin to a caramac (yum)... but who knows. I contacted Nestle for some details re the chocolate used, but got a wall of corporate protectionism, so if you try any, please let us know. You're right though - £3.50 is a bit steep. I'd be unlikely to pay this unless I know personally it was a good chocolate, which isnt always the case from the bigger brands (though throw me a KitKat Chunky ANY DAY! :-))

    It's nice to see dark chocolate with stuff added to it for once - I'm lactose intolerant so I get a wee bit jealous of all the Fruit & Nut etc. available, but there's nothing exciting for dark chocolate - but the feckers have put butterfat in this, damn you Nestle!!

    i love your spotted in the shops :) i've been following for some time but have been silent! i do not live in the UK, but we have many imported UK products here (i live in Bahrain)... and many UK products that i see in your spotted in the shop series i can find here eventually! (eventually being the key word).

    i haven't seen this chocolate series around here and probably won't! i would actually pay £3,5 for this any day... just for one, of course! i certainly wouldn't be happy if i tried one and it was subpar and i had 6 other variety bars in my house!! they look so good though! i wish they had more creativity with the blonde one. i would love someone to do something with white chocolate that isn't crammed with hazelnuts or strawberries!

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
