This Valrhona Blond Dulcey chocolate bar came back with me from the Christmas Market visit to Strasbourg. If you’re heading to the area, don’t worry – the bar came from a shop that’s open all year round (so you can easily get your hands on some!). If you’re in the UK however, options are somewhat […]

Butterblätter from Bahlsen. With 25% butter, these leaf shaped cookies are described as “crispy and tender” (or delicate, whichever way you’d like to read it really). Having recently fallen in love with the Kägi Toggenburger Alpine butter cookies, I was game for a bit of competition. Would Bahlsen kick Kägi off the butter biscuit top […]

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 […]

I picked this Lemon Cheesecake up soon after the resounding success of the Rhubarb and Custard pot. I had high hopes for this little chilled dessert, so lets find out if it delivered! Now then, would it be wrong to choose a dessert based on the colour scheme of my home? This light green shaded […]

Whilst I bought this coffee flavoured chocolate bar recently, it looks like it’s already disappeared from the Schogetten website! So how Limited Edition is this… well, I’m not sure. If you’re out and about looking for it, I found this one in a small Edeka store. Wait a second though, how do you know if […]

These are the Original Neapolitan Wafers from Manner, invented in 1898! Let’s take a look and see if we can figure out why they’re so popular… The Original Neapolitan Wafers are Manner’s classic and best selling product and have become a symbol of Viennese culture and lifestyle. So at a glance your brain might make […]

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 […]

It’s a while since I managed to get a cereal on the blog, but I’m quite excited to share this Strawberry Oatie Mix-Up from Quaker Kids with you. If you’re an adult that thinks anything with a “for kids” label means it isn’t for you, be prepared to be wrong… because this is a delicious […]

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. […]

Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside! Nope, not armadillos – They’re Haribo Berries! You get 10 imaginary bonus points if you know what I’m referencing in my introductory sentence. If you get it, I’m sure you’ll be British and over a certain age… So let’s move on! Quickly… First things first: This is […]

I’ve seen the Hanuta Haselnuss-Schnitte in the German supermarkets since I arrived. It’s about time to give it a try, no? Haselnuss-Schnitte comes out as Hazelnut Slice or Hazelnut Sandwich – and from the packet artwork, that’s clearly what this is. For some reason my brain has always thought of this one as a lesser […]

Did you know that KitKat products aren’t made by Nestlé in America? They’re made by The Hershey Company instead. For a standard milk chocolate based product, I’d be a bit concerned about that – but these Lemon Crisp Miniatures aren’t made with chocolate at all! Instead, these mini single finger KitKat bars are described as […]

This Hammond’s chocolate bar is called Malted Milkshake and is described as a milk chocolate bar with malted milk. Let’s see what that actually means for eating it… It’s my third and final Hammond’s bar picked up from the American Heritage shop in Munich. Whilst the first two haven’t wowed me, they’ve not been bad […]

These Nesquik cereal bars have been lurking in the shops for a little while. It’s about time I tried one! Released at the same time as the Cini Minis bar, this product is obviously aimed at a younger consumer – which I am not. Ahem. With that being said, what do you get for your […]

They’re Italian, they’re biscuits and they’re covered in cute tiny stars! Which I happen to think is pretty good value for 350g of Italian biscuits! Now as far as I can tell, Pan di Stelle is quite popular in Italy. There’s even a chocolatey-biscuit based spread in the range! As well as cake, cereal and […]

Breakfast time! In America that can mean anything from incredibly brightly coloured, Skittles-flavoured Trix to a bowl of plain oatmeal. I’ve been hunting for a cereal I like… and I found one; Cinnamon Oatmeal Squares from Quaker. My first venture into American breakfast cereal was by way of Organic Blueberry Clusters from Kashi, then I […]

Peanut butter is a popular flavour concept in America. It’s everywhere and available in everything. It’s not as popular in the UK, but I think it’s gaining ground. Are White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups something we’re missing out on? Let’s have a look at this product from Justin’s. I’ve combined my rich and creamy organic […]
