Monster Munchies: Mr Kipling Chocolate & Slime Slices

Monster Munchies: Mr Kipling Chocolate & Slime Slices

Mr Kipling is the king of cake bars and treats so it is only fair that he has joined in on the ghost and ghouls of Halloween and given us Mr Kipling Chocolate & Slime slices. I certainly love a cheeky Mr Kipling snack so naturally this was going to be on the agenda.  With a suitably Halloweenesque box, each is packed with 3 sealed trays each containing two cake slices. I like this idea, a) it stops you eating the whole box, b) there’s no chance of wastage because it has gone stale and c) perfect for on the…

Monster Munchies: Cadbury Screme Egg Pots of Joy

Monster Munchies: Cadbury Screme Egg Pots of Joy

We never have much selection when it comes to Halloween themed goodies, mainly it is the same old sweets in different wrappings that get churned out every year, or biscuits with a different filling and spooky packaging. Yesterday we saw Screme Egg Biscuits and today airs slightly on another variation with Cadbury Screme Egg Pots of Joy. Bit of an oxymoron with the name if you ask me but hey ho.  Strictly for the spooky holiday I picked these up in Asda for £1.00 for 4x70g pots. Made with melted Cadbury chocolate, well I sure as hell hope so, Cadbury assures us there’s nothing…

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…

Pinch of This Gluten Free Gastronomy

Pinch of This Gluten Free Gastronomy

Pinch of This certainly caught my eye at the Sandown Food Festival and is not a company I have come across before. So who are they? Well Mark & Lucieanne are from Surbiton and are offering us exceptionally delicious gluten free treats in the form of brownies, flapjacks, cookies, cupcakes, quiches and French macarons, that taste as good as regular baked goods.  Gluten free gets a bit of a bad rep for producing brick like, heavy foods and usually pretty obvious that it is gluten free. However the ethos of Pinch of This is if it tastes gluten free then it…

Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked

Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked

It maybe the 1st of October but that doesn’t mean we cant have ice cream!! Lets face it Ben & Jerry’s is pretty much one of the champs of deliciously indulgent ice cream. Compared to a year ago there are now so many varieties of Ben & Jerry’s available it is tricky to pick just one. Now of course my instinct is to go peanut butter however I wanted to try something new to me. I don’t think I have ever had a bad Ben & Jerry’s per say however I did not rate the Cookie ‘Wich or the Pumpkin Cheesecake, so today…
