Hotel Chocolat Treacle Tart

It has been a while since I have posted, work life balance is currently out the window which is making it hard to get the blog mojo on. Nonetheless what better way to kick start things than with Hotel Chocolat Treacle Tart chocolates. Hotel Chocolat does some imaginative concoctions as well as giving classic combinations a little twist. Treacle tart is one of my all time favourite desserts, it is simple but oh so delicious, cold or slightly warm, I am always game for a slice. As such I have had my eye on these new Treacle Tart ones for…

Breakfast by Bella Peanut Butter Me Up

To say I have been eyeing this granola up for a while would be an understatement. Breakfast by Bella is one of those foodie brands that I unknowingly stumbled across on Instagram and have been hooked on trying some ever since. You can buy online however thankfully patience was in my favour as they were at a local farmers market this month and needless to say I hot footed it down there.  In three simple flavours  – Peanut Butter Me Up, Nutty Nosh and Cacoa Crazy they are all free from refined sugar, are gluten free and contain organic ingredients…

At £3.95 a bar it is on the pricer side for chocolate, so let’s see if it is worth it. Handmade…

I am however willing to forgo my biscuits with my cuppa when M&S Peanut Butter and Choc Chunk Cookies are involved. These cookies are new on the block and follow the ever so delicious Spirit of Summer Peanut Butter Cookies. Housed in a black plastic tray were 8 half chocolate coated cookies that looked utterly irresistible. With that said let’s get tasting. Per cookie: 126 kcal, 2.8g sat fat, 10.2g sugar, 1.9g protein These…

Gü Mousse Fusions Strawberry

A little while back I reviewed the new Gü Fusions Mango and Passionfruit Mousse and it was to die for so I was hoping for similar things with their other variety Gü Mousse Fusions Strawberry. It seems like an obvious flavour choice and I kind of wish they had gone for something a little different, but you can’t really go wrong with strawberry. The aim of this new range is to make us adults happy. Research suggests that chilled mousse is predominantly aimed at kiddies and Gu wanted to give something a tad more premium that we adults would love, and who…
