Mr Kipling After Dinner Chocolate Orange Fancies

French Fancies have gotten fancier! Part of the expanding Mr Kipling Signature Collection this collection first launched last year in response to the growing demand of wanting treats that give distinct, high quality flavours.

Normally McVitie’s stay within the safe realms of flavours such as lemon-lime, or strawberry, but they have put on their tropical hat and given us these funky pineapple cakes or biscuits (depending on which side of the fence you are?).  The packaging is brilliant, it is vibrant, eye catching and a marketing masterpiece. If you want to give them a try at the moment then they can be found in Tesco and also on Ocado for £1.00. Keeping the soft cake base and dark crackly chocolate topping,…

The trio is now complete and these are the ones that most Smarties lovers will be wanting to try, because everyone knows orange Smarties taste the best.  The milk and white chocolate varieties are widely available both in supermarkets and sizes. However these Orange Smarties Buttons are exclusive to Asda, and are only available in an 85g sharing bag. Sharing is of course optional.   They are little boring to even look at, especially in comparison to…
