We get some Clif bars in the UK, but I’ve never seen the Builders Protein range. Is the Mint Chocolate bar any good? Let’s find out! Chocolate and protein don’t get cooler than in this tasty, well-earned reward for a workout. Ingredients: Soy protein isolate, cane syrup*, cane sugar*, brown rice syrup*, palm kernel oil, […]

America seems to have lots and lots of options in the “long life cake” category. I’m trying out Tastykake’s Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts. Last week we had a packet of Hostess Powdered Donuts – and I’m not saying that 2020 is turning me into a “sitting at home in my comfy joggers and eating all […]

Knoppers. Sounds rude, doesn’t it? Well it’s not, you filthy minded people! (Alright, alright. I’m talking about myself, clearly…) These slices are hugely popular and are even being released in the UK, so let’s see what all the fuss is about! Ever since Knoppers was launched in 1983 in Germany, the milk-hazelnut wafer has been […]

Another Korean snack review today! This is a bag of Sindangdong Toppokki Snack, also known as Tteokbokki Snack. This is another mystery munching treat I picked up from Amazon. I had zero clue what it might be, which of course made it seem very interesting. And interesting it is. Opening the packet and I’m greeted […]

It took me a little while to buy these because I had a sneaky suspicion I knew what I was getting. Turns out I was only sort-of right. Check out these Cinnamon Brown Sugar Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares from Nature Valley with me. Get up and get moving with this morning snack. Cinnamon and rich brown […]

These are the Original Neapolitan Wafers from Manner, invented in 1898!

Breakfast time! This time we’re trying Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios from General Mills. In the UK we don’t really have “flavoured” products. However Cheerios in the USA come in LOTS of flavours, including Toasted Coconut, Blueberry, Maple, Peach, Apple Cinnamon, Banana Nut, Fruity, Frosted and even (seasonally) Pumpkin Spice. Yes, I will be hunting those […]

RXBar launched this year in the UK, and I figured I may as well pick up one of the few flavours to try. The premise is interesting, so let’s give it a go. First off, RXBar looks to be hitting some sort of “startup” style vibe. The website www.rxbar.co.uk is quite a simple, clean looking […]

Lindt have brought a new range of Lindor out for the summer season: Mango! I saw these in a window display at the Karlsplatz Lindt shop… but they didn’t have any on the shelves! Now clearly I managed to pick some up (the following week, as it happens) and I’m not sure if it’s just […]

I’ve seen this for sale in my local Rossmann loads of times during my stay in Germany, so I figured it was about time I gave it a go. What could something called “Pocket Coffee” really be? My brain had conjured up the notion that it’d be a coffee flavoured caramel inside a chocolate shell. […]
