Proper Nutty Smunchy Peanut Butter

Proper Nutty Smunchy Peanut Butter

We are going back to peanut butter basics today. Put aside the flavoured peanut butter items for today because we have it in it’s simplest form, good old fashion natural peanut butter from Proper Nutty.  I came across Proper Nutty on Twitter a while back and whilst perusing Country Market I was most surprised to see it sitting on the shelves. Made in Dewsbury this little team slow roast peanuts in small batches, grind them to the perfect texture, either add a pinch of salt or leave it be, and voilà Yorkshire’s only artisan peanut butter.  Anything named smunchy has both my attention…

Chocolate with a Difference by Doisy and Dam

Chocolate with a Difference by Doisy and Dam

Happy Sunday Everyone! Let’s have a little chocolate bonanza, it’s never too early for chocolate right?After experimenting with superfoods and real ingredients, Doisy and Dam have created some truly unique chocolate flavour combinations with the view to give us an indulgent yet healthier and tastier range of chocolate.

To date there are 8 flavours available with 5 of these available in Sainsbury’s. Today we are giving 5 a…

Strawberry Nut M&M’s Yes You Read That Right

Strawberry Nut M&M’s Yes You Read That Right

I wouldn’t blame you for doing a double take on today’s blog post because I certainly did in the shop. Strawberry Nut M&Ms are an actual thing! Any American’s or avid American chocolate lovers will know that M&M’s did chocolate covered strawberry M&M’s last year, however the difference here is they’ve thrown peanuts into the mix.  Now I understand Strawberry M&M’s because well strawberries and chocolate is just so YES, but plonking a big ol peanut in there is pretty intriguing.  I spied these in my trusty Garden Centre Longacres (where I also found Mint M&M’s) and they were instantly…

The Coconut Collaborative Little Lemon Temptations

The Coconut Collaborative Little Lemon Temptations

There’s a brand new dairy free dessert on the block and comes in the form of these fluorescent yellow packaged The Coconut Collaborative Little Lemon Temptations*. The Coconut Collaborative already has a jam packed repertoire spanning yoghurts, frozen goodies and dessert pots and yet I confess I haven’t had any of them.  These little Lemon Temptations join the dessert range and sit alongside the Mini Choc Pots and Rice Puddings. So what makes these pots worthy of your pennies? As well as being dairy, soya and gluten free, they’re suitable for vegans and they have squished the goodness and benefits from…

Magnum Double Peanut Butter Bar

Magnum Double Peanut Butter Bar

We all know that Magnum do a Peanut Butter Ice Cream lolly, but did you know that they also do the Magnum Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar? Personally I hadn’t a clue and I found this little gem tucked away in Home Bargains.  I have never had a Magnum chocolate bar and to be honest I don’t really care for their ice cream lolly either so the only thing this chocolate bar had going for it was the promise of peanut butter. Stubby in appearance, for a mere 50p it wasn’t too badly priced.  Milk chocolate bar with peanuts and a soft…
