Nestle KitKat Ruby Chocolate

Ruby chocolate has been gathering pace and Nestle have certainly helped to bring this a little more mainstream with their KitKat Ruby Chocolate.  Originally only available in Tesco, these bars have gravitated and I found this single bar in Sainsbury’s for 60p. You may have even spied the Easter Egg, which was tempting!  What makes ruby chocolate so special? A number of years ago cocoa experts discovered components of certain cocoa beans could produce a chocolate with an exceptional flavour and colour. This gorgeously coloured Ruby cocoa bean offers a totally new taste experience, and I couldn’t be more excited…

Maryland Cookies Desserts Mississippi Mud Pie and New York Cheesecake

Is it a cookie or a biscuit? It has the hallmarks of a cookie with its looks and choc chips, but it screams biscuit with its shorter crumblier texture. Maryland Cookies aren’t really the go, but when I spied the Maryland Cookies Desserts range I couldn’t resist giving them a try. The range has certainly grown from just the humble choc chip, double choc and hazelnut variety and now includes Maryland Wonders, Big & Chunky, Sugar Free and Maryland Cookies Desserts. These come in two flavours, Mississippi Mud Pie and New York Cheesecake.  Randomly these were found in the foodie…

The Naked Marshmallow Co Mini Egg Marshmallows

Hoppy Easter! Some of you may be tucking into those choccie eggs whilst here we are tucking into The Naked Marshmallow Co Mini Egg Marshmallows.  Strictly limited edition I decided to treat myself to The Marshmallow Co Mini Egg Marshmallows, and a few other boxes which were in their sale. There’s a fair few flavours including a couple of vegan options. Prior to the sale these were £6.50, a little more than their standard boxes. However in the sale these were half price.  If you want the full package then they cater for this to. From fondue, s’mores and chocolate…

Beaulieu Pistachio Chocolate

Pistachio is my all time favourite nut. Salt it, roast it, plain out the shell, if there are pistachios about I am going to eat them. So when I visited Beaulieu Chocolate Studio and spied their Beaulieu Pistachio Chocolate bar it was certain that this was coming home with me.  Nestled in the New Forest they create contemporary and local speciality chocolates which are all hand-made using fresh and where possible local ingredients. This is a chocoholics mini paradise. At £3.95 a bar it is on the pricer side for chocolate, but so far I have had a few bars from…

Aero Dark Cherry Truffle Chocolate Bar

Listen up Aero lovers because this is certainly a post you are going to want to read! Aero Dark Cherry Truffle Chocolate bar is something to get excited about, primarily because it isn’t the bog standard flavour that’s on our UK shelves.  First and foremost hopes will not be dashed because you can get your hands on this bar, albeit at a higher price. Being quick is also paramount as it tends to sell out quite quickly. This bar is from one of the go-to sites, American Fizz and it is also available on Ebay. There are a few Canadian Aero…
