Kev's Snack Reviews

A big thankyou to The Real Coconut by Daniella Hunter for today's review. Daniella's recipes, products and restaurants are dedicated to digestive well-being and as such, these tortillas are grain free, suitable for vegans and gluten free. I was very excited to try them because these are such a unique product, they're like a healthier equivalent of Doritos, so if you have digestive issues or are following a paleo or autoimmune style diet, these might be the thing for you! Isn't it nice to include everyone? :) The chips are made from organic ingredients, and cooked in coconut oil rather than sunflower oil, so there's less of the unhealthier omega 6 fats. They're also made with non GMO ingredients. Of course all that's irrelevant if they don't taste the part, and luckily they're pretty darn addictive! I started with the Himalayan Pink Salt variety which is made with coconut flour, cassava starch, coconut oil, xanthan gum, kosher salt and Himalayan...

Now normally I would reserve reviews like this for December, as that's the only time it's really acceptable to be eating festive snacks, however today's product is an exception because it's so good that I just had to tell you all about it! These are currently in M&S amongst their new festive range, along with Maple Bacon Tortilla Rolls, Christmas Pudding Ice Cream (fancy!) Chocolate Orange Ice Cream (do want!), Christmas Pudding Roulade and more besides like Salted Caramel Pinecones , Prosecco Caramels etc. For more goodies do check out my Instagram page! These particular snacks are selling like hot cakes - or hot tortillas - it seems; they're out of stock whenever I look in M&S. By chance I managed to nab the last pack on a flying visit to Glasgow, for a respectable £2 for 190g of "milk chocolate coated corn tortilla rolls with a cinnamon sugar seasoning". The milk chocolate is on one side of each roll and looks kind of chunky, with...

The weather may be cold outside, but at least you can warm up by reading some of Kev's Christmassy Reviews :) Yes, all this month I'm having a festive bonanza and reviewing all manner of Christmas snackstuffs. Enjoy! Today we are back with M&S, who have quite a fantastic range of stuff out; everything from Prosecco and Bucks Fizz Flavoured Crisps , Salted Caramel Pretzels , Prosecco Caramels , White Chocolate Angel Wings ...and this interesting snacks hybrid; Belgian Dark Chocolate Coated Chilli Tortilla Chips. When I put these in my basket I didn't actually realize they contained Chilli, I just saw chocolate coated tortillas and they had me sold right away. These cost £2 and are gluten free as well as suitable for vegetarians. They're described as "dark chocolate coated corn tortilla chips with red pepper and chilli pieces". I tipped the box out onto a plate, the tortillas are rather thick and chunky thanks to the generous coating of dark choc...

So, it's been decided, Flavour A from the recent #DestroyDoritos competiton was the winner and everyone voted to destroy Flavour B: Ultimate Cheeseburger forever. Which is a shame, because I rather liked it...check out my review! Since the public has spoken, lets find out what all the fuss is about: this flavour consists of spicy salsa flavoured tortillas, which are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, dairy free and gluten free, but made in a factory that handles wheat and dairy. They have a plethora of artificial additives providing the flavouring...well we wouldn't have it any other way from Doritos would we?! Opening the bag the tortillas had a very strong, overpowering aroma. I poured most of them into a bowl. They tasted as strong as they smelled...they had a definite tomatoey spicy salsa kick to them, with a strong salty flavour that I can only presume was from the MSG in the ingredients. They were very moreish and tasty but did leave me needing a drink a...

I'm not usually one to eat Doritos these days, but this mysterious black bag with Doritos B printed on it lured me in when I spotted it in Asda the other day. It's "Ultimate Cheeseburger" flavour, and Doritos are doing a competition where you have to decide which flavour you want destroyed forever. The winning idea gets £20,000. Flavour A is Spicy Salsa, which I reckon I'll be voting to destroy forever, since Flavour B is actually quite yummy... These are £1 in Asda at the moment, but snap them up quickly because they were going like hot cakes when I was there. The Spicy Salsa variety in particular was disappearing fast! Unlike the Spicy Salsa variety, these ones do not contain MSG in the ingredients, which I prefer since MSG gives me headache. They contain whey powder and spices instead, to give it that cheeseburger flavour. Like all Doritos, they're very moreish of course, and once I started eating it was very hard to stop! The cheeseburger flav...
