Kitkat Chocolatory Springtime in Japan Review

You may have heard in the news recently that KitKat Chocolatory has been launched in the UK - it's a service where you can create your own KitKat bar with different chocolates and fillings, or choose ready made creations. The service is available in selected John Lewis stores as well as York's Chocolate Story, but will soon be more widely available to buy online too!

I was very lucky to receive some samples recently from KitKat Chocolatory - thanks so much guys! There's some interesting flavours and varieties like Billionares Caramel, Gin and Tonic and more...but today lets start with the Springtime in Japan variety, which consists of 6 wafers coated in Ruby Chocolate, filled with an apple and cherry jam and cherry pieces. It's inspired by the beautiful springtime in Japan.

Now I'm not a huge fan of Ruby Chocolate, I've had mixed experiences of tasting it thus far so wasn't the most excited about this, however I have to admit it looks very pretty indeed! This is perhaps one of the fanciest Kitkats I've tried in quite a while, and makes me miss the gooey filled KitKat Editions they used to do many years back.

I love how nicely the KitKat is presented in the box, it feels very special indeed and adds to the whole experience. The actual bar is decorated on the back with what I think is meant to be a Japanese tree?

The taste surprised me. The ruby chocolate actually works very well with the other flavours so they've chosen this pairing very wisely! The cherry and apple compliment each other nicely with the cherry pieces adding some slight tanginess, all balanced with the sweeter Ruby chocolate. The textures are great too - creamy chocolate, crunchy wafer to gooey jam with some chewy fruit pieces. If this is what Springtime is like in Japan then sign me up haha!

Overall, I think this is a great initiative and hopefully Chocolatory will be available in more locations over time. I'll be sure to keep you all posted once they start their online service! Stay tuned for reviews of more flavours...

    Kit kats are extremely popular in Japan, mostly due to their name, It is similar to Kitsu Katsu which i a Japanese term wishing good luck, They have over 250, some a weird and wacky. Kit Kats are commonly given as gifts and come in little box you can write a personal message on, it's common ti see them given to children on their first ever day of school or someone on the first day of a new job. I tried the Chestnut ones but they are sickly as the chocolate is overly sweet white chocolate, not a nice white chocolate, The Apple pie ones are really good though, I got a bag of them one month with my Japan Crate subscription and brought them to work, they were very popular and people wanted to know where they could get them, they were disappointed they shouldn't buy them whenever they wanted, they were that moths bonus item

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
