Nature Valley Peanut Chocolate Cups

It has been far too long since we had a peanut butter review. However no credit can be taken for these Nature Valley Peanut Chocolate Cups because this was a little gift, amongst other goodies, from a little Cupcake Snack Warrior!  I have spied these in the supermarkets and are part of Nature Valley’s Nut Butter range.

Breakfast by Bella is one of those foodie brands that I unknowingly stumbled across on Instagram and have been hooked on trying some ever since.

Waitrose Cherry Bakewell Granola

Okay so I have been eyeing up this Waitrose Cherry Bakewell Granola like man candy for months and months and I’ve finally cracked and made the first move. Part of their Waitrose 1 range, which is their recent addition of a premium range, it joins several other fancy granola varieties – Salted Caramel & Ginger and Pistachio, Raspberry, Apple & Apricot.  Granola varieties are ever expanding and so is its price. For a 500g bag this Waitrose Cherry Bakewell Granola will set you back £3.99, an average price for granola these days. This is suitable for vegetarians however if you have other nut allergies aside…
