Oppo Ice Cream – Mint Choc Swirl

We have certainly been experiencing a heatwave this week, so of course ice cream is a necessity. Oppo Ice Cream is new on the frozen block and claims to be guilt free. Can ice cream really be guilt free AND taste delicious? Oppo believe indulgent food doesn’t need to be packed full of sugar or calories to taste good, which I certainly agree with, but whether this can translate into ice cream is another matter.

Flare Cocktails

M&S Dulce de Leche Teacakes

The sun has been peeping out the clouds this week so it is only fair that we have a bit of the Spirit of Summer courtesy of the new M&S Dulce de Leche Teacakes. As previously mentioned M&S have gone a little crazy with dulce de leche this summer and shoved it anything and everything. I must say their Banana Dulce de Leche slices were a thing of beauty so I have high hopes for these Teacakes.  Their packaging is certainly snazzy and catching to the eye, and these definitely faired better in their travels than the Red Velvet Teacakes. These were…

Red Velvet Oreos

Today is a glorious day because Oreos are on the blog today and not just any old Oreos, oh no siry bob today is the day I give you Red Velvet Oreos! Now I am sure like many of you being a red velvet lover we have been envious of the USA having these whilst here in the UK we are stuck with plain and simple Oreos, it simply isn’t fair is it.  Whilst in my favourite Garden Centre – Longacres, they have a cubbyhole of American treats and where I can get my staple peanut butter (FYI Peanut Butter Co Old…
