Reese’s Rounds

Reese’s Rounds

Branching out from the peanut butter cups Hershey’s has stepped foot into new realms with Reese’s Rounds. I have seen mixed feelings about these but that isn’t going to stop me from trying them myself.  I found this 8 pack of chocolate covered biscuits in Waitrose for an okay price of £1.50. The biscuits sat in a segregated black tray which certainly reduced the risk of any unnecessary breakages. Huzzah.  Crunchy biscuits with a peanut butter filling and covered in milk chocolate. Per biscuit: 96 kcal, 3.2g sat fat, 5.2g sugar, 2g protein.  These were certainly thick round biscuits. The biscuit itself…

Christmas: M&S Viennese Gingerbread Creams

Christmas: M&S Viennese Gingerbread Creams

My love for gingerbread continues today in the form of biscuits. Now these aren’t just any gingerbread creams, these are M&S Gingerbread Viennese Creams. After the triumphant Mr Kipling Gingerbread Whirls I do wonder how M&S can top them. Each pack contains 8 viennese creams in sets of two in a plastic tray. In comparison to the exceedingly good Mr Kiplings’, M&S have gone for a far lighter buttered shortbread and spolodges of buttercream filling to avoid the potential for slippage, as well as giving them a far more uniformed appearance. The biscuit itself wasn’t as short as I had expected so…

Monster Munchies: Cadbury Screme Egg Biscuits

Monster Munchies: Cadbury Screme Egg Biscuits

Before Mondelez International decided to be plonkers and change the Creme Egg recipe, yes Mondelez we have noticed and we hate you for it, I used to love the Creme Egg biscuits and Creme Eggs for that matter. Since that change I didn’t bother buying any last year however as we are on a Halloween Monster Munchies mission today we have the limited edition Cadbury Screme Egg Biscuits. Will these be a trick or a treat?  I take no credit for these at it was the Daddio who spotted these in the local corner shop and bought them for me…

Mcvitie’s Hobnob Teacakes

Mcvitie’s Hobnob Teacakes

It’s all about the chocolate teacake today and not just any old teacake I will have you know but Mcvitie’s Hobnob Teacakes! Hobnobs in teacake form yes siry bob you read that correct. Mcvitie’s have bought out these new milk chocolate teacakes and I for one being a major Hobnob fan, am mighty excited.  For an introductory offer of £1.00 in Sainsbury’s that really isn’t bad for 8 chocolatey teacakes. Inside the packet we have the usual black tray saga with the teacakes plopped in each segment. What is a change is the outer packaging is a thicker plastic which benefits…
