It’s taken me a while, but I’m finally getting around to eating this Tiramisu flavoured chocolate bar from Polish confectioners E. Wedel. If you’re a fan of tiramisu flavours, you’d better read on… I know next to nothing about Polish chocolate and it’s something I’m sure I’ll be investigating on my return to the UK […]

Pfeffernüsse, or Pepper Nuts, are a Christmas speciality here in Germany. They rock up for the festive season and come in a chocolate or sugar glaze. For this review, I’m looking at the glazed Pfeffernüsse from Weiss. This isn’t a particularly special bag of Pfeffernüsse, just one that landed in my supermarket shopping basket. It […]

Chobani yogurts make a constant and regular appearance in my fridge. They’re generally absolutely delicious, so I figured I’d start putting them on the blog. We’re hitting things off with the Perfect Peach Cobbler Flip. For those of you used to yogurts in UK supermarkets, you’ll see this and instantly go: It’s a Müller Corner! […]

It took me a while, but I finally found the Pip & Nut Peanut Butter Cups in Milk Chocolate. I had it delivered with my Ocado shopping! Each pack contains two milk chocolate cups filled with our delicious smooth peanut butter. We’re proud to make these in the UK from ethically sourced, single-origin Colombian chocolate. […]

I’ve had quite a bit of surprise success with the chocolate coated Kägi wafers. So when I spotted these Toggenburger Alpine Cookies from the brand in my local German supermarket, I had to give them a try. Toggenburg is a region of Switzerland, which is where these biscuits originate. A unique, rich butter biscuit speciality […]

I’m not sure where I picked up these Cacao Protein Wonderballs from Missfits. I think it might have been Sainsbury’s (or possibly Ocado?). Did I like them? Let’s find out! If I was going to write this review like an end of year school assessment, it would probably go; “A good solid start. Needs to […]

This bag of Haribo Dragibus made it with me back to Germany, all the way from France! Alright, maybe that’s not so amazing in the scheme of things… but when I recently visited the country, I went hunting for new and interesting sweets that could survive a 33 degree day in my backpack. Haribo was […]

Nestlé have released three new KitKat Senses flavours in their usual two finger format. Thing is, they’re not especially inspired. I love getting new snacks generally, but I honestly didn’t much care about these. There’s the Millionaire’s Shortbread (which obviously I’m reviewing), then there’s Salted Caramel or a Choc Chip Cookie Dough flavour. Five bars […]

These Snowballs from Milka are part of 2012’s seasonal releases from Mondelez here in Germany. They come in two varieties (that I know of) – either filled with an Oreo studded cream or with a plain and simple milk creme middle. If you happen to lurk by the chocolate shelves at Easter, you’ll find this […]

This Tiramisu chocolate bar is another of the summer releases from Lindt in Germany. Will it be an improvement on the Eiscafé bar I reviewed last week? Read on to find out! After some Google Translation… Enjoy with Tiramisu a creamy filled chocolate creation with a creamy light tiramisu filling and an aromatic coffee-cream wrapped […]

Volles Rohr from Hitschler are a bag of 100% vegetarian apple flavoured candy cables, with a sour-fruity outer and a sweet vanilla core. Any good? Let’s find out! Starting with the packet, it’s full of cute apple inspired artwork. They’re hard at work, sawing and chopping long sweetie cables into bitesized pieces. Don’t look too […]

These Bärchen-Pärchen from Haribo caught my eye with the ‘Sour’ and ‘Sweet’ speech bubbles on the packet! Though when I picked the bag up, I hadn’t realised the sour and sweet bears were actually connected to each other. Bärchen-Pärchen means ‘bear couples’ or ‘bear pairs’! However I’m not entirely certain how the inbuilt Chrome Translate […]

In this review, I’m taking a look at Cherry flavoured Balla Stixx from Haribo. These are a popular fruity candy stick, with a firm but creamy candy centre and a fruit flavoured faux-liquorice like outer coating. The popular product specialty from Spain, HARIBO Balla Stixx, are aromatic-delicious cherry-tasting fruit gum confectionery bars in a 200 […]

A Rose flavoured KitKat? Okay, I’m game. Let’s go. If you’ve been following the KitKat posts this week, you’ll know the fab @AmySeeksNewtreats got it for me as a gift. I’m not gonna beat about the bush with this one; it’s perhaps the worst KitKat I’ve ever tried. Don’t get me wrong, I loved trying […]

Jumpys. A kangaroo shaped, paprika flavoured, crisp snack in Germany! There’s a common joke that everything in the German snacks aisle will be paprika flavoured. If you find something different, celebrate it! It might sound a bit over the top but there’s a good reason for this stereotype. In the UK the ‘standard’ crisp flavour […]
