Kev's Snack Reviews

It's that time of month again...no, not for a grumpy Kev who craves chocolate but a time to lust over new food products, with a jam (and cake) packed edition of Spotted In Shops! There's been quite a lot of new releases on the shelves in the month since Christmas, so let's take a look at what's out there. Hold on tight you're in for a sugary ride! Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg 'N' Spoon Oreo: Cadbury's have replaced their Vanilla Egg 'N' Spoons (Which I loved!) with this new version containing Oreo cookie pieces. Available in all supermarkets. Twix Chocolate Caramel Cookies: Last year we got Twix Spread, but this year Twix is getting the cookie treatment! Who knows what we'll get next...Twix Doughnut anyone? Spotted in Tesco, fresh bakery section. Oreo Thins UK version: Oreos have slimmed down! I hear these are very good...available in both Original Vanilla and Chocolate Cream flavours . Spotted in Tesco. McVitie's...

Cadbury Egg N' Spoons are back...this time disguised as "New" Cadbury Dairy Milk Snow Balls. Yes, these are part of the Mondelez strategy of recycling their products endlessly...so far over the last year we've seen Mini Eggs on shelves twice (as "Wini Eggs"), Cadbury Dairy Milk Mousse Snowman resurrected as the Cadbury Mousse Bunny, and Creme Eggs as Ghooost Eggs . Don't get me wrong it's nice to have these products on shelves regularly, but I'd much prefer something truly new and different. But, I still had to try these. I must admit I rather do enjoy Cadbury Egg N' Spoons, so these excited me more than they should. The idea is the same as Dairy Milk Egg N' Spoon ; you peel the wrapper, bite the top off the "snowball" then remove the creamy filling using the spoons provided. I do like the snowflake shaped design of the box, it's very festive. Much nicer than the Egg N Spoon egg boxes, but not quite as eco...
