Kev's Snack Reviews

I do love The Co Op. They're always bringing out new and interesting products, such as the Rhubarb and Custard Milk last year, and more recently  Unicorn Themed Ice Creams . As well as those they've also launched this new limited edition Truly Irresistible Dark Chocolate with Raspberry, a Single Origin Fairtrade bar. Containing 54% cocoa solids and described as "rich and fruity with sweet raspberry pieces, made with carefully selected Peruvian cocoa" it contains 2% freeze dried raspberries and costs just over £1.50. Opening the sleeve the chocolate was foil-wrapped, which is always a good thing in my book! The blocks looked smooth and glossy with The Co Op's Truly Irresistble logo printed on each piece.

They're also doing this lovely sounding Cherry Bakewell Ice Cream , complete with almond flavour ice cream, cherry sauce and digestive biscuit. Yum! Plus a Coconut & Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream , complete with butter enriched coconut biscuit and a truffle centre. As well as this ...

The supermarkets have really upped their game in recent years for own-brand festive products, with some impressive and weird new treats out for the Christmas Season. Below are some I've seen whilst out and about...although there's lots more! For updates of the most recent do check out my Instagram Page.  Tesco Chocolate Truffle Carrots:  These don't actually contain carrot, do not fear! Instead they are coloured white chocolates with praline fillings. Tesco White Chocolate Polar Bear: Another white chocolate treat from Tesco are these cute chocolate polar bears. Tesco Black Forest Dome Gateau: Making a return for the festive season are these yummy Black Forest Dome Gateaus. Tesco Christmas Tree Ice Creams: Also making a return are these Christmas Tree shaped ice creams. Tesco Chocolate Orange Muffins: Chocolate and orange is always a welcome festive flavour and now you can get them in muffin form thanks to Tesco! Tesco Finest Gingerbread Nuts...
