The Grown Up Chocolate Company Dark Chocolate Smoothy

The Grown Up Chocolate Company Dark Chocolate Smoothy

Today we have another chocolate goodie from The Grown Up Chocolate Company. I have previously reviewed The Grown Up Chocolate Company’s Lovely Fruity Nutty Crunchy and Superb Salted Peanut Caramel and thanks to the forever lovely Miss Snack Warrior, the queen of exciting food parcels, today is the turn of their Dark Chocolate Smoothy.  So what does the Dark Chocolate Smoothy hold? Well we have a chocolate ganache centre topped with chocolate caramel all coated within dark chocolate. Doesn’t it look extremely inviting!  As suggested this bar is exceptionally smooth. You would think from the wedge of caramel it would be rather chewy and an exercise…

Lacasa Turrón de Cheesecake

Lacasa Turrón de Cheesecake

Sunday the day of rest and today’s review is Lacasa turrón de Cheesecake, and was part of some exciting goodies brought back for me from Spain. Pretty as a picture and despite not being a great cheesecake fan. I was looking forward to trying this rather different goodie. Nougat Praline Cheesecake As with all cheesecakes you have the biscuit base and cheesecake upper, and this is no different, albeit the two layers aren’t very visible to the eye. The first thing I noticed was the smell, and not a very nice smell, a cross between cheap quality white chocolate and sickly…

Milka Oreo

Milka Oreo

Whilst on our travels over the Christmas period I took the opportunity to pop into a BM store as there isn’t one that local to me. Perusing the aisles I came across this Milka Oreo bar and at a bargain price of 99p I could not resist buying it. We all know that Cadbury Dairy Milk have attempted the Oreo and to be fair it’s not that bad, but it could be better. 100% Alpine milk chocolate and original crunchy Oreo cookie pieces. Unlike the Cadbury version, Milka is a lot flatter and does not pack as much filling. The Oreo pieces…

Twix Peanut Butter

Twix Peanut Butter

What better way to start the new year than with Peanut Butter! Yes my addiction to peanut butter continues with another peanut butter hybrid and comes in the form of a Twix bar.   Normally Twix bars are tricky to break but without the caramel these snapped pretty easily. The packaging points to a new recipe however not knowing the old recipe, I’m not too sure what the differences are.  Creamy peanut butter covering a chocolate cookie, coated in milk chocolate. Don’t be fooled by the creamy aspect of the peanut butter because although it was smooth it was not creamy like you’d expect…

Sainsbury’s Gingerbread Ice Cream

Sainsbury’s Gingerbread Ice Cream

Happy Christmas Eve Everyone!! What better way to mark the day before christmas than with Sainsbury’s Gingerbread Ice Cream. I have been like a woman possessed searching for this tub; because frankly Gingerbread Ice Cream is an ice cream I want to get on board with.  I have never really seen Gingerbread as solely a festive foodie flavour and my love for Jamaican Ginger Cake is something I feed throughout the year. Now if Sainsbury’s can morph that into an ice cream, just like Mr Kipling did with their Viennese Whirls, well we will have one happy Nibs ‘n’ Scribs…
