Maltesers Popcorn Bunny

Maltesers Popcorn Bunny

This is the chocolate Easter treat you didn’t know you needed until now. Fusing two of my favourites, chocolate and popcorn, Mars Inc have given us the Maltesers Popcorn Bunny. Currently in all major supermarkets these are 65p each with some stores doing a deal if you buy multiple. Hint buy more you won’t regret it. Alternatively you can also purchase these in mini bunny form. Each chunky bunny is made from milk chocolate and filled with a popcorn flavoured malt filling (35%) and corn crumble pieces (2.2%). I confess when I purchased these I wasn’t holding my breath but…

Maltesers Orange Buttons

Maltesers Orange Buttons

Would you believe it’s well over a year since Maltesers gave us the delicious mint choc buttons? Now it’s time for a newbie and unsurprisingly they have jumped on the chocolate flavour of the moment. Of course it is the Maltesers Orange Buttons. It’s funny how when I reviewed the mint choc buttons I was applauding them for not going with the trend. I get why they did this time around given it has been such a consumer favourite, it is jut a shame they haven’t decided to start their own trend. Available in a variety of sizes, you can…

We have had the Milk Chocolate Smarties Buttons, the White Chocolate Smarties Buttons, and now it is the turn of the Orange Smarties Buttons.

However these Orange Smarties Buttons are exclusive to Asda, and are only available in an 85g sharing bag. Sharing is of course optional.   They are little boring to even look at, especially in comparison to…

Milk Chocolate Smarties Buttons

Milk Chocolate Smarties Buttons

Did you know Smarties have been in the making since 1937? 83 years is a long old time, and 2020 is the year that they have had a little shake up and they now come in button form. As well as Milk Chocolate Smarties Buttons, they also come in white and orange flavoured chocolate. There are 2 sizes – single and sharing (which is optional). I am not too sure why the sharing bag weights differ between flavours. The milk chocolate gives you 90g in comparison to 85g with the other two. All three are slowly hitting supermarkets, and I found…

Beaulieu Chocolate Studio Forest Fruit

Beaulieu Chocolate Studio Forest Fruit

Beaulieu Chocolate Studio is nestled in the New Forest and they create contemporary and local speciality chocolates which are all hand-made using fresh an where possible local ingredients. Beaulieu Chocolate Studio Forest Fruit bar is another newbie for me. Perusing their website is both a must but also dangerous, there are some serious delights on there. Amaretti (WANT), Banoffee, Coconut and Rocky Road chocolate, to chocolate shaped novelty items, speciality pieces and hot chocolate. This is a chocoholics mini paradise. At £3.95 a bar it is on the pricer side for chocolate, so let’s see if it is worth it. Handmade…
