Café Royal Caramel Nespresso Compatible

Not even a year old and yet the Nespresso machine in our house is still Daddio’s favourite gadget, and he always has his eye on the Nespresso capsules when shopping. In Sainsbury’s we spied these Café Royal Caramel capsules that are compatable with Nespresso, and is the first flavoured compatible capsule we have seen, thus decided to take the plunge.  Presented in a compact cardboard box, these Café Royal Caramel capsules were £3 for 10, not too bad a price for a flavoured number. Daddio opted for a longer drink of 2 capsules and hot frothy milk albeit our Nespresso Aeroccino appears to no…

Baking Fresh Subscription Box

The long weekend is over, boooohhh! BUT it is only a 4 day week, yaaaaayyyy all is not lost! Today’s review is all about baking and in particular the Baking Fresh Subscription Box*. Baking Fresh contacted me asking whether I wanted to try one of their baking subscription boxes. Of course I jumped at the chance, any reason to do a spot of baking. You may remember that I reviewed the first and second months of the new Bakedin subscription boxes, review here and here, so I am very intrigued to see how Baking Fresh compares. How does it work? Baking…

Hotel Chocolat Peanut Butter Slab

Happy Easter Everyone!! I hope that the Easter Bunny has bought you all lots of goodies. It is only fitting that we have a chocolate review today and why not be a devil and throw in some peanut butter as well! A while back I reviewed Hotel Chocolat Peanut Butter Selectors and was left bitterly disappointed at how they had completely missed the peanut butter mark. From there I was intrigued as to whether their Peanut Butter Slab, which is aimed at crunchy peanut butter lovers, would actually hit the spot and more importantly taste like peanut butter. Enter today’s review,…

Hooper’s Alcoholic Brews

It’s a long weekend Hurrah!!! We all know I am all for supporting British made products and today’s review is exactly that. The lovely Hooper’s offered to send me some of their ‘true British’ refreshments to review and before I knew it 12 bottles of their Alcoholic Brews arrived. So who are Hooper’s I hear you ask? Hooper’s came about after William Hooper spent the early 19th century globetrotting and was inspired to create a new range of refreshing alcoholic beverages; from there Hopper’s was born. Proud to be British, today Hooper’s has a range of 4% ABV traditionally British alcoholic brews available in…

Lindt Lindor Peanut Butter Truffles

I heart Lindt and in particular Lindt Lindor Truffles! On the rare occasion that we toddle off to Gunwharf Quays we end up spending far too much in the Lindt shop. We are literally like small children in a sweet shop. When I found out that across the pond had a Lindt Lindor Peanut Butter Truffle I made it my mission to find these. It took a while, but low and behold I have and couldn’t be more excited about today’s review.  I bought these Lindt Lindor Peanut Butter Truffles from Candy Hero for 50p each. An expensive way of buying, but what’s a…
