Snickers Xtreme

Never did I think there would be so many varieties of Snickers, you have Classic, Almond, Hazelnut, Dark, Peanut Butter and Mini to name a few. Snickers have now taken it one step further with Snickers Xtreme.  Apparently the name of this bar was voted for by Snickers fans however if like me you are a little perplexed as to what makes it Xtreme let me tell you. Unlike a classic Snickers which consists of nougat topped with caramel & peanuts, coated in milk chocolate, this Xtreme bar has chucked away the nougat to make more room for peanuts and caramel. I am…

Pop Works & Company Sticky Toffee Pudding Popcorn

Pop Work & Company is new on the block and you will have seen I have already reviewed their rather cheesy smelling Peanut Butter & Caramel version. Yes that’s right I said cheesy! I am still baffled by its smell but I am glad I am not the only one that thought it smelt of cheese. Today’s review is all about Pop Works & Company Sticky Toffee Pudding and I am hoping it is puddingy.  Sticky Toffee Pudding is one of the four that they have released here in the UK and is actually the one I bought first. Sticky Toffee Pudding is one…

Krispy Kreme Vintage Cruller

Okay so we have already had the boring Krispy Kreme Glazed Kreme, the rather undercooked but delicious filling from the Powdered Blueberry and now we have the penultimate doughnut, which comes in the form of Krispy Kreme Vintage Cruller.  If you haven’t a clue what this doughnut is or in fact how to pronounce it, you are not alone. To save face I just asked the every so happy Krispy Kreme chap for ‘the new one’ and ta-da £1.75 later one Cruller was in the bag. This is certainly quite the eye candy for a doughnut. It doesn’t need all the fancy icing…

Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked

It maybe the 1st of October but that doesn’t mean we cant have ice cream!! Lets face it Ben & Jerry’s is pretty much one of the champs of deliciously indulgent ice cream. Compared to a year ago there are now so many varieties of Ben & Jerry’s available it is tricky to pick just one. Now of course my instinct is to go peanut butter however I wanted to try something new to me. I don’t think I have ever had a bad Ben & Jerry’s per say however I did not rate the Cookie ‘Wich or the Pumpkin Cheesecake, so today…

Hotel Chocolat Banana Bread

In a spooky coincidence a few weeks back I was discussing the new Hotel Chocolate Banana Bread Selectors I had spied on the net, when the lovely Lot-o-Choc raved about them and I just new I had to get my hands on them pronto. Part of their autumnal range, Hotel Chocolat may have answered my banana chocolate prayers with this little beauty, lets find out.  For 6 Banana Bread Selectors it will set you back £3.85, or buy 3 and you save a measly 70p. I think it is important to mention here that these are a chocolatiers take on the…
