M&S The Big Daddy Bar

M&S The Big Daddy Bar

The M&S The Big Daddy Bar is a whopping hunk of a chocolate bar, some may even call it a whale of a bar. It is back for another year and this time it has gone viral and has been flying off the shelves. At £6.60 you may think that is expensive but you are getting 300g of chunky milk and dark chocolate bar with caramel, peanut butter and roasted peanut pieces. Peanut butter lovers buckle up! Each bar is housed in a cardboard packaging, no extra packaging inside which is good to see from an environmental perspective. Look at…

Nature Valley Peanut Chocolate Cups

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. Whether these are more for a snack or brekkie alternative, who knows, either way these are described as follows.  Crunchy biscuit cups with wholegrain oats and chocolate pieces, a chocolate flavoured base, peanut butter flavoured filling and peanut pieces.  Each box comes with…

Hotel Chocolat Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake

Hotel Chocolat Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake

Yes it is another round of Hotel Chocolate delights. The reason for the visit at the weekend was purely for gift purposes only. However after perusing the Selector section and spying the Hotel Chocolat Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake, I knew they were coming home with me.  Usually the PB & J combo is something that is given a miss. However the description of “salted peanut praline sandwiched in jammy raspberry-white chocolate” was too enticing.  As always the Selector’s come in at £3.95 a pop or 3 for £10. There are a few newbies in town, and I hear there…
