Luscombe Madagascan Vanilla Soda

Luscombe Madagascan Vanilla Soda

Luscombe Drinks are a little UK company down in Devon who kindly sent me their Madagascan Vanilla Soda* to try. I have not come across Luscombe drinks before nor anyone who has put vanilla with soda, and I for one was excited to try something completely new and unique.  Twisting the cap open there was that hiss as the air escaped. There was a slight fizz and the smell of vanilla was instant upon pouring. Soda is naturally quite a dry drink but surprisingly this really wasn’t dry at all, and to a degree quenched my thirst. The vanilla was a…

Snickers Peanut Butter Squared

Snickers Peanut Butter Squared

Being the Peanut Butter lover that I am, my gorgeous bestie found a Snickers Peanut Butter Squared whilst on holiday and proclaimed it was the best thing in all the land. Rather than letting me sob in a corner that I had missed out, she bought me one back! She’s a keeper isn’t she!  Caramel, nougat, milk chocolate, roasted peanuts and peanut butter squished into two square-shaped nuggets. As you can see one of the squares was a little smooshed but that certainly wasn’t going to put me off. Cutting in half there were 3 distinct layers all encased by milk…

Milky Way French Vanilla and Caramel

Milky Way French Vanilla and Caramel

There is something truly satisfying when it comes to a Milky Way and I was rather intrigued by this Milky Way French Vanilla and Caramel bar that I spied in Longacres Garden Centre no less. It’s not just your average garden centre to be fair, it is the mothership of all garden centres that sells everything except the kitchen sink ,and has a pretty darn good food hall, butchers, bakery and fresh flower department. If there is ever a Garden Centre to go to this is the one.  Longacres has a cave of goodies and I could have happily bought quite a…

Snyder’s of Hanover Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches

Snyder’s of Hanover Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches

Whilst perusing the local farm shop I spied Snyder’s of Hanover Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches, and like a moth to a flame I naturally had to buy them. At £1.99 they were a little pricey but it’s a price I’m willing to pay for a peanut butter goodie.  Golden with that classic pretzel sheen the pretzels were crunchy and a little salty. Sandwiched in-between each pretzel was a thin layer of salty peanut butter, not the fake pumped full of goodness knows what ingredients, but natural creamy peanut butter, and boy what a difference it makes. I am always a tad apprehensive…

Heston from Waitrose Cherry Bakewell Vodka

Heston from Waitrose Cherry Bakewell Vodka

Following on from my review of the deliciously out there Heston Cherry Bakewell Hot Cross Buns, the ever fabulous Waitrose contacted me and offered to send their Heston Cherry Bakewell Vodka * to try. As you can imagine I was most excited and very thankful for their offer. This bottle is 70cl, 40% vol and costs £24.50. There are recommendations on mixing this to make a Cherry Bakewell Float or Ice Cream but frankly I’m opting for the alternative, straight from the fridge. A gorgeous deep red, it doesn’t smell of anything in particular but you get a sense of sticky…
