I don’t often buy myself a box of chocolates, but at such a sweet little size I found it hard to resist. My focus is usually on getting out of there as fast as possible. It’s not the most relaxing of food-purchasing experiences you’ll ever have! So then, what’s inside the box? Inspired by the […]

Fancy having a look at a beautifully bubbly bar of Milka chocolate? Alliteration optional. Take your usual Milka chocolate, stuff it full of bubbles and you’ll get a bar of Luflée. Say it with the right accent and you’ll be calling it “Lovely” instead. I’ll wait a moment whilst you try that out loud. Try […]

This is one interesting looking KitKat – and I happen to think it’d be a hit in the UK. Read on for a bit more on this Milk Tea KitKat Duo… This one was (again) brought back for me as gift, so I’m afraid you’ll probably just have to look at it and wish you […]

This Make and Mature Christmas Cake by James Martin comes from the BBC Good Food website. I’ve made it twice and as we’re heading into “Christmas Cake Making” season, it seemed as good a time as any to take a look! I love Christmas Cake. It’s the best of all the fruitcakes… dark and rich, […]

Kaffeesplitter is Ritter Sport’s new variety of chocolate bar for 2018 in Germany. It’s their “Sorte Des Jahres” or ‘Sort of the Year’ and it roughly translates to ‘Coffee Chips’. The cover states this is “mit karamellisierten Kaffeesplittern in dunkler Schokolade” and my rough German understands that to mean ‘with caramelised coffee chips/splinters in dark […]

NOMO. No, I’m not shouting at you – that’s the brand name. “No Missing Out” – that’s the aim of the game with these dairy, gluten, egg and nut free chocolate bars. So what’s the Fruit & Crunch Choc Bar like? The perfect combination of smooth creamy vegan choc with crunchy crispy pieces and juicy […]

Today on the blog… it’s this White Peach KitKat from Japan! Peaches in Japan are a true delicacy and this Kit Kat White Peach is made with real peach juice and the wonderfully fruity chocolate combined with the crunchy wafer biscuit texture makes for an irresistible combination! I actually really like the cute little gift […]

I really should start looking at the ingredients list before I buy things… The packaging was pink and cute – I liked the hand drawn artwork design and the image looked like a fruit. Not knowing what a jujube was, I figured I should find out! The pack front has the words “Healthy Doctrine” – […]

These sweetie fish are actually a rather sizeable shape, but one bite in and I already know what these are. Imagine if Jelly Tots had a love child with Fruit Pastilles. Then make those sweets much larger, so the chew goes on for much longer. Bam. You’re there. Well alright, you’ve got to add sour […]

There are three new Limited Edition Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars on the market at the moment… And I have all three! First up, The Raspberry Shortcake. The Raspberry Shortcake bar by Melanie. Milk chocolate studded with raspberry pieces, white crisp pearls and shortcake. I found all three of these bars at Asda, wedged in […]

I brought these Sweet Peach Gourmet Sweets back from the UK on a recent visit. In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ve tried the Eton Mess Candy Kittens before and I wasn’t all that impressed. But as these were in a nice, tiny bag… I figured I’d give them another try. Did they do any […]

Ever a fan of cinnamon, these Cini Mini Snack Bars may have ‘accidentally’ ended up in my shopping basket… I really enjoyed the Cini Minis Knusper Muesli when I managed to find a box in my local supermarket, so when I saw these pop up online I was intrigued. I’m not usually a snack bar […]

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 […]
