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.…

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime Gin

Their cider may have been our summer companions but things maybe about to change. Yes after hitting Greene King pubs, the shelves are now being stocked with Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime Gin. Using one of their best selling cider flavours was a really smart move in their first step into the spirit world, and is sure to hook Kopparberg fans in. So what’s the deal with Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime Gin? “Kopparberg Premium Gin is double distilled over a two-week period. Distilled fermented grain is flavoured through a re-distillation of natural ingredients including Juniper, coriander, lime and strawberry.”  Sounds good so…

Gü Mousse Fusions Strawberry

A little while back I reviewed the new Gü Fusions Mango and Passionfruit Mousse and it was to die for so I was hoping for similar things with their other variety Gü Mousse Fusions Strawberry.

The aim of this new range is to make us adults happy. Research suggests that chilled mousse is predominantly aimed at kiddies and Gu wanted to give something a tad more premium that we adults would love, and who…

Strawberry Nut M&M’s Yes You Read That Right

I wouldn’t blame you for doing a double take on today’s blog post because I certainly did in the shop. Strawberry Nut M&Ms are an actual thing! Any American’s or avid American chocolate lovers will know that M&M’s did chocolate covered strawberry M&M’s last year, however the difference here is they’ve thrown peanuts into the mix.  Now I understand Strawberry M&M’s because well strawberries and chocolate is just so YES, but plonking a big ol peanut in there is pretty intriguing.  I spied these in my trusty Garden Centre Longacres (where I also found Mint M&M’s) and they were instantly…

Tim Tam Strawberry Champagne

I have never had the pleasure of having Tim Tam’s but I have heard wonderful things from my Aussie friends and as soon as I saw these I knew I had to have them. Apparently 669 million Tim Tam’s are eaten every year in Australia, now that is a lot of Tim Tam’s and goes to show they must be good. Fresh sweet strawberry combined with the crisp yet velvety flavour of champagne, coated in Arnott’s famous milk chocolate. These Tim Tam Strawberry Champagne numbers were part of the limited edition mocktail collection and sat along with Pina Colada, Espresso Martini…
