Kitkat Chunky Salted Caramel Fudge

It's taken them a while, but finally Nestle have come to their senses and released a Salted Caramel Kitkat variety. Hurrah right?! It's a shame they won't bring back the Kitkat Caramac from years ago (Australia are now lucky enough to get a Kitkat Gold which is pretty similar!), but I'm sure we can make do with this instead.

Available from Sainsbury's for 50p, this presumably replaces the New York Cheesecake Kitkat Chunky from last year and is described as "Crispy wafer finger with a salted caramel fudge flavoured topping covered in milk chocolate".

Now, as everyone knows I can't eat gluten, so I gave this to a friend to let me know his thoughts.

Kitkat Chunky Salted Caramel Fudge

Opening the wrapper, there's a very powerful and overwhelming aroma of caramel.

Splitting the chunks apart, the salted caramel fudge layer is visible just above the wafer and is somewhat like a paste.

How does it taste? Well according to my friend "it's very sweet, with a strong buttery caramel flavour, that is vaguely salty and quite butterscotch-like. It's a bit overly sweet and will make your teeth hurt a bit, it's just as well Kitkat bars have shrunk in size! Still, if you like salted caramel this is pretty indulgent and will definitely cure your sweet tooth. A tasty bar, would buy again".

So there you have it! Now Nestle, maybe you can consider bringing the Kitkat Gold to the UK please?

8.5 out of 10.

Are you excited to try this bar? If you've tried it what did you think? Let me know in the comments!

    I'm not trying to be rude but I think if you are Kev then this should stay as Kevs snack review as that is what the blog is about, I want to hear your thoughts on the products not your friend's otherwise I'd follow them, Love the page been a follower for a while just wish you would actually review the foods not someone else.

      Well, I'm not about to eat something that will make me ill, someone elses opinion is as good as mine I'm really not that special ;) Others may just want to know how it tastes and that's who the review is for.

    Then it would just be a gluten free blog and would have less appeal (i wouldn't be as interested) - also it's Kev's choice what he puts on his blog, which seems to be pretty popular, he's not being paid to do it, it's a hobby. Some people have a strange idea of what they are 'entitled' to.

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
