M&S Belgian Milk Chocolate Cashews

M&S Belgian Milk Chocolate Cashews

The M&S chocolate adventure continues today with the M&S Belgian Milk Chocolate Cashews. Next to pistachios, cashews are my favourite nuts especially when they are caramelised honey ones, god I could eat them forever!!  Aside from the different packaging, these aren’t new to the snacking aisle and have been around for a couple of years.

Battle of the Whips: M&S Walnut Whips vs Mini Salted Caramel Whips

Yes today is a battle, a mighty fine one at that. M&S is the king for traditional Walnut Whips but they haven’t stopped there, oh no, they have added to the family by shrinking them and giving us Mini Salted Caramel Whips.  These M&S Walnut Whips* and Mini Salted Caramel Whips* were part of my very exciting delivery of goodies from Marks and Spencer Food PR, which if you follow on Instagram you would have seen a sneak peak! It was pretty hard to decide which to tuck into first, but the salted caramel won me over. Milk chocolate filled with…
