M&S Pistachio Creme Filled Eggs

M&S Pistachio Creme Filled Eggs

Next up on the Easter trail is the M&S Pistachio Creme Filled Eggs. Pistachio seems to be having a moment and it is nice to see that they have included a mini version rather than just the large filled egg. These come in at £3, which is a great price, and I picked these up on Ocado. Each egg is made up of Swiss milk chocolate and filled with a smooth, creamy pistachio centre. The vibrant packaging is a win for me, I like the use of the green and orange and the metallic gold on the egg wrappings. The…

M&S Speckled Egg Cookies

M&S Speckled Egg Cookies

M&S is starting to have quite the knack for seasonal goodies and for their Easter delights they have given us the M&S Speckled Egg Cookies. These limited edition cookies contain white and milk chocolate buttons and speckled chocolate eggs, very apt for Easter. Coming in packs of 5, they cost £3.10, which is a little pricer than other supermarket cookies these days. The cookie itself looks the part: generously sized, properly chunky, and studded with chocolate chunks and pastel coloured speckled crushed eggs that give it a playful, Easter‑ready vibe. Taste‑wise, they’re good, very sweet … but it was let…

Oreo Creme Egg

Oreo Creme Egg

Ever year I say I won’t eat Easter treats this early and every year I cave. What broke it so early this year? The hotly anticipated Oreo Creme Egg cookies which have just landed. This limited-edition cookie promises to combine the crunch and rich cocoa taste of Oreo cookies with the indulgence of a Creme Egg. Is this pairing going to be a match made in Easter heaven? These were bought in Sainsbury’s but you can also find them on Ocado for £1.50 a pack, or Home Bargains and B&M at around 79p a pack. The cocoa cookies are stamped…

Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns

Hot cross bun season is well and truly upon us and new flavours have been hitting the shelves. From the savoury of the cheesy bun to the sweet blueberry or apple and cinnamon, it’s certainly a who’s who’s of flavour combos. The one I immediately needed to try was the Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns. These are made with sweetened dough with added rhubarb puree, freeze dried rhubarb, dried cream and vanilla flavouring. Each for pack is £1.80 each and are currently included in the 2 for £3 deal. They sound promising and look fabulous, but what do…

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cream Egg

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cream Egg

The viral Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cream Egg has hit shelves and is taking on the Creme Egg head on. Yes Easter has been taking over the supermarket aisles since Christmas but I think we can safely say we are now all here for it. Each egg retails for 70p each and some stores are offering 2 for £1.20. These have been spotted in Co-Op, B&M, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. They smell exactly like the OG and are not particularly sealed well so are easy to split in half to reveal the fluorescent orange filling. The chocolate it think and creamy…
