Fox’s Winter Desserts Biscuits

There’s nothing better than biscuits with your tea (or coffee) and what’s great about the festive season, it has been biscuit selection boxes galore. Yes I am still teetering on the edge of the festive period and picked these Fox’s Winter Desserts Biscuits because they sound scrumptious. Half price in Sainsbury’s this box of 16 biscuits was £2.50. Sadly there is only one tray so no getting excited that there is another layer hiding in there! Fox’s have given us 4 dessert flavours Chocolate Brownie, Millionaire’s Shortbread, White Chocolate & Raspberry Cheesecake and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Each biscuit has a…

Pea Pops Chickpea Crisps *

January 2022, it is quite remarkable that a new year has come around in a blink of an eye. After a little break over the festive period we are back with a new review of Pea Pops Chickpea Crisps. Other than a fabulous name and vibrant colourful packaging these fall quite nicely into Veganuary. Launched in 2020 Pea Pops are in their very nature popped and not fried. They too have 20% protein, are gluten free, high in fibre, vegan/vegetarian and are the winner of The Great Taste Award. Coming in 3 flavours, 2 vegan 1 vegetarian, these can be purchased…

McVitie’s Jaffa Jonuts

Newness alert! Going above the usual flavour change, we have instead been given the lovechild of the OG Jaffa Cake and delicious donuts; enter the McVitie’s Jaffa Jonuts. Not just hell bent on the cake or biscuit debate McVitie’s have now thrown donuts (really it’s doughnuts!!) into the mix. The concept is out there and is bound to shake things up. Currently only available in orange, I highly suspect that other flavours will quickly follow. These were in Tesco for £2.00 or £1.50 if you are a club card member. Each box comes with 4 individually wrapped donuts. The wrappers are…

McVitie’s Strawberry Cheesecake Digestives

Flavoured Digestives are not a new thing and since last year we have had an array of them. From Cherry Bakewell to Lemon Drizzle, Marmalade on Toast and Blood Orange, it’s certainly a far cry from the usual chocolate variety. One of the latest additions to join the family is the McVitie’s Strawberry Cheesecake Digestives. Now you may remember that last year they released a Strawberries & Cream version, so why they have chosen Strawberry Cheesecake so soon after is a mystery. In fact this isn’t the first time strawberry cheesecake has featured as they previously did a filled cream version.…

Maryland Cookies It’s Mint To Be

The track record for different flavoured Maryland Cookies in my opinion has not been great. Their flavour ambitions are up there, it is the execution that lets it down. That being said two new varieties have hit the shelves, one of which are these Maryland Cookies It’s Mint To Be. These new cookies are mint flavoured cookies (obviously) with chocolate chips and sugar pearls. You will now find them in both Sainsbury and Tesco for around £1.35 a pack. It is quite nice to see that they haven’t gone done the chocolate orange route like so many others recently. You…
