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…

Ritter Sport Rum Raisins Hazelnuts

Ritter Sport Rum Raisins Hazelnuts

Bournville Old Jamaica has seemingly disappeared from the shelves and frankly I have been mourning the loss of it. Whilst doing a mad dash Sainsbury’s shop the Fathership spied Ritter Sport Rum Raisins Hazelnuts chocolate bar; could this be the answer to our rum raisin chocolate prayers?  At £1.40 for 100g bar, I didn’t think this was too bad. The bar was square with pretty thick chunks, you couldn’t spot the raisins as a solid bar but breaking apart, boy was it jam packed with raisins and hazelnut pieces. Now I am not usually one for nuts in chocolate, and was a little…

Thomas. J. Fudge’s Florentines

Thomas. J. Fudge’s Florentines

Florentines, nutty, caramelly & chocolatey, what could be more perfect? I don’t often buy florentines on the basis a lot on offer has orange peel in and that just isn’t right. Whilst surveying the treats in Waitrose I came across Thomas. J. Fudge’s Florentines, and anything that promises a marvellous merrymaking treasure box is something I cannot pass up.  First off I love the packaging! This treasure box consists of 16 petite milk, white and dark chocolate florentines presented within a cardboard and plastic tray. These little florentines are beyond cute and each were pretty much exactly the same size, thickness…

Dairy Milk Snow Bites

Dairy Milk Snow Bites

Are we all feeling festive yet? I know I am, I mean who doesn’t love waking up to it being totally acceptable to have chocolate before anything else!! So being in the festive mood that I am, today’s post is also a festive number in the name of Dairy Milk Snow Bites. A week or so ago I was hit by a snowball. Not just a snowball, oh no, a Dairy Milk snowball no less, and a few days later these little Dairy Milk Snow Bites landed on my doorstep. Solid milk chocolate balls in crisp sugar shells dusted with…
