Beaulieu Pistachio Chocolate

Pistachio is my all time favourite nut. Salt it, roast it, plain out the shell, if there are pistachios about I am going to eat them. So when I visited Beaulieu Chocolate Studio and spied their Beaulieu Pistachio Chocolate bar it was certain that this was coming home with me.  Nestled in the New Forest they create contemporary and local speciality chocolates which are all hand-made using fresh and where possible local ingredients. This is a chocoholics mini paradise. At £3.95 a bar it is on the pricer side for chocolate, but so far I have had a few bars from…

Aero Dark Cherry Truffle Chocolate Bar

Listen up Aero lovers because this is certainly a post you are going to want to read! Aero Dark Cherry Truffle Chocolate bar is something to get excited about, primarily because it isn’t the bog standard flavour that’s on our UK shelves.  First and foremost hopes will not be dashed because you can get your hands on this bar, albeit at a higher price. Being quick is also paramount as it tends to sell out quite quickly. This bar is from one of the go-to sites, American Fizz and it is also available on Ebay. There are a few Canadian Aero…

Coming in at £2.50 a pop (£3.50 if you buy on Joe & Seph’s website), you can choose between Milk or Dark Chocolate Popcorn Bites.…

It’s become impossible to choose a favourite flavour however I do tend to lean more on the sweeter side of things.  Mostly available in farm shops…

Ritter Sport Spiced Biscuit

Spring may well have sprung but that isn’t going to stand in the way of the winter edition Ritter Sport Spiced Biscuit. Even when a food is specific to a season or holiday that for sure isn’t going to stop us from chowing on down.  Ritter Sport have some corkers but as usual the UK gets only a small selection. The range has certainly expanded but the real amazing sounding flavours just never reach us. I have reviewed a couple, the Cornflakes is delicious and the Rum and Raisin packs a punch. So will the Ritter Sport Spiced Biscuit be…
