Battle of the Gingerbread Biscuits

It’s a trio of snacks here today all sporting the Christmas theme. Yes it is time for the battle of the gingerbread biscuits and our contenders are McVitie’s Milk Chocolate Digestives, Oreo and Sainsbury’s Custard Creams. Gingerbread certainly seems to be the flavour of Christmas this year and I am here for it. I managed to get all three in Sainsbury’s and the prices ranged from 65p – £1.90. The Oreo Gingerbread were the worst of all and the only good thing going for them is the cute little gingerbread design on the front of the biscuit. They have a…

Eating Out at Honest Burger – Reading

It has been a while since we have done a restaurant review so whilst on an evening out in Reading we decided to visit Honest Burger. This British burger restaurant first opened its doors in Brixton in 2011 and have expanded to Brighton, Bristol, Reading, and all over London. They promise to make everything they can and source as much of their ingredients locally. The menu is refined to a handful of items per category and you can choose from either beef, chicken, vegetarian or vegan. Smashed beef patty, American cheese, brown butter mustard mayo, white onion and pickles. Beef…

Sainsbury’s Bourbon Twists Black Forest

Sainsbury’s have been firing out the twist in the classic custard creams, but for this Christmas they have also given us the Bourbon Twists Black Forest edition. Bourbon to me is an underrated biscuit. I love them and it reminds me of my Grandad, although I am sure he would have a few choice words to say about messing with a Bourbon! For 65p a pack you cannot go wrong. These chocolate sandwich biscuits are filled with black cherry flavour cream filling and the fruity cherry aroma can be smelt the minute you open the packet. Isn’t it nice to…

M&S Caramelised Biscuit Sticky Buns

New desserts have literally exploded onto the autumn scenes and we are all here for it. The one I really was the most eager to try was the M&S Caramelised Biscuit Sticky Buns. Available in stores these 4 soft buns are filled with a spiced cinnamon paste, with a lightly spiced caramel sauce and are topped with caramelised spiced biscuits pieces and a sweet dusting. Surely it’s dessert heaven in a pot! Simple to bake in the oven, these take only 12 minutes before you have molten gooey caramel goodness. The dough is light and fluffy and baked to perfection.…

M&S The Big Daddy Bar

The M&S The Big Daddy Bar is a whopping hunk of a chocolate bar, some may even call it a whale of a bar. It is back for another year and this time it has gone viral and has been flying off the shelves. At £6.60 you may think that is expensive but you are getting 300g of chunky milk and dark chocolate bar with caramel, peanut butter and roasted peanut pieces. Peanut butter lovers buckle up! Each bar is housed in a cardboard packaging, no extra packaging inside which is good to see from an environmental perspective. Look at…
