Last week I reviewed the Banoffee Bananito bar. This time I’m trying out MightyBee’s Peanut Crunch flavour! As I mentioned last time, I bought these bars from Ocado. I paid 60p and got them on offer, but they’re only 75p at full price. There are actually two other flavours in the range (Cashew Cookie and […]

This could be also subtitled: “How I messed up making fudge – and loved it”. Curious? Read on to see my thoughts on the Nestlé Carnation website recipe for the Ultimate Fudge. Hands up, I’m a complete and utter newbie to fudge making. In fact, this was my first time ever giving it a go. […]

Today I’m checking out Holly’s recipe from Spend with Pennies for a Skinny Chicken Alfredo. From the off, I’m gonna be honest… I’ve never actually had a restaurant “Alfredo” dish. This might come as a surprise to American readers (or not, who knows!) but Alfredo sauce isn’t commonplace in the UK, or Italy for that […]

  An American company selling pretzel snacks to the Bavarians? Let’s look at these Pretzel Crisps! When I saw these Pretzel Crisps in a local German supermarket I was a bit confused… Where to begin? These are American. I recognised the design of the packet from pictures I’ve seen on Junk Food Guy and Impulsive […]

  I’ve finally gotten my paws on the Limited Edition release of Dunkin’ Donuts Frosted Vanilla Latte Pop-Tarts from Kellogg’s. Set your expectations at “toaster pastries” and scroll on down to read my review! Now I know I said these were Limited Edition – I mean, it’s right there on the box – but who […]

I found these Almond Nut Butter Balls from Deliciously Ella at Boots. Are they worth hunting down, or even putting in your shopping basket? Take a look and see what you think. Inspired by our love of chocolate and nut butter, we blend almonds, cacao and dates to make chocolatey balls, then fill them with […]

This bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk Mint Crisp is no ordinary bar… at least, not to those of us in the UK. This bar comes from Ireland! As per the packet description, this is “Mint flavoured milk chocolate with honeycombed granules (12%)”. The ingredients list: Milk**, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Glucose Syrup, Cocoa Mass, Vegetable Fats […]

Germany is home to Ritter Sport… and that means so many more chocolate varieties than can be found in the UK. There’s a lactose free chocolate, there are regular seasonal releases and you’ll even find two vegan chocolate bars in the range! Let’s take a look at the first one: Dunkle Mandel Quinoa. Translated, this […]

This is the last of the Quaker Oatmeal Squares reviews. How does Honey Nut fare? Well, honestly, it’s a very nice breakfast cereal. As I’ve really rather enjoyed the texture and base flavour of the product in the other two flavours I’ve tried, that doesn’t surprise me. However, I won’t be buying it again. Not […]

I’m not really a Fibre One fan, I’ll be honest. So what prompted me to pick this box up? Popcorn and pretzels. Come with me as I take a quick look at these Milk Chocolate Popcorn Bars from Fibre One. They say: Fibre One 90 Calorie Milk Chocolate Popcorn bars are a satisfying combination of […]

If you say the phrase “American chocolate”, chances are you’ll think of Hershey’s. Which to many Europeans really isn’t chocolate at all. The mission has been to start exploring some genuinely good and interesting American chocolates… so here I am with a Mokaccino bar from Tcho. I’d actually heard of Tcho before I came to […]

These Apple, Pear and Pumpkin Claws are obviously aimed at children. I’m not a child. And yet, I bought the box because it has feet. Adulting, I’m doing it wrong. Delicious fruit pieces made from 1/3 veg and 2/3 fruit. Perfect for lunchboxes and a grrreat on-the-go snack. The website also says… 100% Pure Fruit […]

If the packet and artwork style look familiar, that’s because Dove in America is basically Galaxy from the UK. Something you can’t get in the UK though are these chocolate covered and sea salt dusted cashew nuts – and that’s a shame. Ingredients: Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Skim Milk, Chocolate, Milkfat, Lactose, Soy Lecithin, […]

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 […]

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 […]
