Introducing the second of the two vegan Ritter Sport bars… the Dunkle Voll-Nuss Amaranth chocolate bar! Which translates to “Dark Whole Nut Amaranth”. Hereby we proudly announce that we have cracked the hardest nut for you: a vegan chocolate that tastes just as good as all our other varieties. All you have to do is […]

Fazer is a Finnish brand of chocolate and confectionery, let’s take a look at this Dumle Snacks chocolate bar! Karl Fazer decided to become a confectioner against his father’s wishes. He studied baking in Berlin, Paris and Saint Petersburg before opening a French-Russian confectionery café at Kluuvikatu 3 in Helsinki on 17 September 1891. Opening […]

A Carrot Cake flavoured limited edition release from Nakd. I’m rather a fan of Nakd bars so I think it’s fair to say I had pretty high expectations from the off. It’s very rare to find a Nakd product that I’m not a fan of, so I was curious how this would fare. Carrot Cake […]

Yes folks, I’m back on the Japanese KitKats. I might be addicted! First up, the Hokkaido Melon & Mascarpone Cheese KitKat. As with all the KitKats this week, I bought them from my usual Japanese snack stop; Tofu Cute. Usually though, they’re all in gift boxes! This set of 3 Kit Kats is presented in […]

Following yesterday’s Caramel Chai ice cream, I’m digging in to the second tub in the multipack box. Say hello to the Brownie Macchiato from Häagen-Dazs. Our Robusta coffee ice cream has a mild but full-bodied taste that comes from the way we treat the coffee beans. After being lightly roasted, we apply specific techniques of […]

For something a little different, I’m going to review three different flavours of Puccho: Imperial Apple, White Soda and Bubble Tea. As long time readers will have guessed already, I bought these from TofuCute.com. Though they might not all be in stock right now, it’s always worth checking back. Stock changes frequently enough to make […]

For this Friday’s recipe, I’m sharing a review of a Jamie Oliver recipe that makes some lovely naan bread. There’s something important you guys need to know. I can’t buy naan bread locally. GASP! I’ve seen it once in Aldi, but it’s the dry, breakable, cardboard sort that just isn’t naan. Being British I’m used […]

The White Chocolate Cookie Carb Killa bar from Grenade, bought on Amazon! This is a pretty simple bar to explain, so it won’t take me long. Here’s the ingredients list: White Chocolate (Maltitol, Cacao Fat, Dry Whole Milk, Lecithin, Vanilla Powder), Protein Blend (Calcium Caseinate, Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Polydextrose, Gelatin, Glycerin, Soy […]

When I posted about Schoko Strolche from Dickmann’s last week, I really hadn’t anticipated much of a response. Then some lovely folk on Twitter suggested the Super ones were much better. So here I am, with a box of Super Dickmann’s … Which leads me to what I learnt about these chocolate coated marshmallow treats […]

It’s taken me a while to get around to it… but it’s finally here. The Cadbury Winter Gingerbread Dairy Milk bar. Any good? Well… that depends on your point of view! I admit to taking my time with new Cadbury products. One, it always takes me ages to find the new bars. Two, by the […]

I’d been searching for this bag of sweets for a while, ever since I saw them appear on Instagram. Why? UNICORNS! Forever one to be bought by advertising gimmicks, I absolutely had to try these Katjes Wunderland sweets. There’s a unicorn on the front, I mean… Have you seen the reasons I’ve used to purchase […]

This is going to be a super quick review. Introducing the Snickers Crisp… The description is: Milk chocolate (35%) with caramel (40%), peanuts (13%) and crisped rice (11%). The bar is also labelled as suitable for Vegetarians. Ingredients: Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Peanuts, Rice Flour, Palm Fat, Full Cream Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Humectant […]

Welcome to another Japanese candy review! This time it’s the interesting sounding Yakult Puccho. As I’m sure you’ll have guessed, I got these from TofuCute when I did my last Japanese KitKat order. Amazing chewy milky Yakult yoghurt candy with chewy centre. Ingredients: Sugar, glucose syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil (palm kernel, coconut), gelatin, fermented milk […]

Anything with both apple and cinnamon flavours should be a winner, shouldn’t it? That’s what led me to pick up this bag of Apple Cinnamon Rice Crisps from Quaker. It was all going really well. I like Quaker, I like Quaker products. I like the packaging, I like rice cakes, I love apple and cinnamon […]

These colourful egg shaped sweets are another special edition just for Easter from Haribo. When I picked these up I didn’t know what the word “Baiser” meant. In fact, I found out literally two minutes ago… It translates as ‘meringue’. You can imagine my surprise then when I tried these eggs thinking they’d be like […]

This Dr. Oetker Cappuccino Vitalis Knusper Plus Muesli isn’t what I’d class as a breakfast cereal! When I go looking for a breakfast option, I tend to head towards the healthier side. Something not drowned in sugar and preferably crunchy or textured. Oats and dried fruit often sway me. I passed this box by several […]

If you’re a fan of liquorice, this chocolate coated variety from Lakrids needs to be on your shopping list! Over Christmas one of the Munich based Facebook pages I follow posted a competition to win some gourmet chocolate coated liquorice. I didn’t enter but I did notice the striking packaging; three small tubs with beautifully […]

Today I’m road testing Madhur Jaffrey’s recipe for a Chicken Tikka Masala, taken from the book “Curry Nation” and available at TheHappyFoodie.co.uk! When people talk about British food, they tend to talk in terms of Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie or Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding. For me though, one of my favourite British dishes […]

These Irish Creme Fancies from Mr Kipling are only around for the festive season, so if you fancy these Limited Edition cakes, you’d best hunt them down now! Wondering whether to bother? Let’s take a look… Golden sponge cakes with a vanilla flavour topping (11%), covered with an Irish Cream flavour fondant icing (49%). Ingredients: […]

These Skittles Fruits Chewies are, very possibly, not Skittles at all. They’re naked! By which I mean, they’ve lost their shell. Is a Skittle still a Skittle if there’s no crunchy sugar coating? The flavours in the Skittles Chewies pack are orange, lime, lemon, blackcurrant and strawberry. Ingredients: Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Palm Fat, Acids: Malic […]
