Skittles Crazy Cores

Hey there, today I would like to talk about the newish skittle product Skittles Crazy Cores. Regular skittles are quite good, one of the best lollies for making flavour combinations and are fun to eat.

 
They're taking skittles to a new level with this new range of flavours. Delicious! They've basically chosen the best flavours they could and combined two in each skittle together.

The flavours are Cherry/Lemonade (I love cherry flavour, more later) - Melon/Berry - Strawberry/Watermelon (Same with watermelon flavour) - Mango/Peach - BlueRaspberry/Lemon

Great flavour combos, really nice to eat, I will be eating these again.

Mini eggs!

Quite possibly my most ultimate favourite chocolate treat in the whole world! Mini eggs rule!

Ok, now I've got that out of my system, Mini eggs are a 'seasonal' product in that are only sold in the time leading up to Easter. For some reason they are getting scarcer every year probably because they would be trickier to make than regular eggs.

They are made by Cadbury, so the chocolate has that distinctive taste. It then has a 'candy' shell around it. Like a fine powdered sugar sprayed onto the egg. There's just something about that shell that turns a small lump of chocolate into a textural experience. I think the shell also holds in the aroma of the fresh chocolate because it tastes so much more flavoursome in these eggs. The colours are visually appealing as well, making these things super cute!

Delicious, delicious, delicious!

M&Ms Coconut

Hi. M&Ms. I went through a phase when I was younger when I ate the original type alot. These days when I eat an M&M I can't help but think the chocolate within is either too dark or not as high a quality chocolate as you would find in a block. As you know they come in peanut and almond, I'd like to see them try Macadamias with white chocolate.

These days I go for the Crispy M&Ms if I want some. They have a nice texture and balance the chocolate out a bit. I saw these the other day and thought I would try them.

I'm not sure what I was expecting from these Coconut M&Ms, maybe white flavoured chocolate, but it was the milk chocolate variety. They taste pretty good, quite addictive, they just feel too easy though. They've basically added coconut essence to the normal mix, it doesn't have any type of coconut feel. On the whole a novel alternative for regular M&Ms if you eat them regularly.

While I'm here let me just say if you see any White M&Ms you should seriously try them cause they are delicious! I couldn't get enough of them when they were out, I'm not sure they are anymore, but anyway.

Twisties!

Twisties are nice. They are like a quality version of a cheese puff of cheezle like thingy. The two main flavours are Chicken and Cheese. I prefer chicken but I like the cheese ones too they are probably tastier.

What prompts me to write about them now is the two new flavours I have tried over the past few weeks. Unfortunately they are limited editions, one of the flavours I would eat all the time.

The first I would talk about is these..

Twisties Cheeseburger. They pretty much taste exactly how you think they would, pretty nice, the Twisties themselves were quite small, I'm not sure whether that was the batch or they were made like that. I prefer larger Twisties probably cause I can eat them more easily lol.

Now this flavour got me going. Twisties Spicy Burger. They're delicious! Great BBQ type flavour with a tangy twist. Very nice! The Twisties were larger to which made them more satisfying to eat. Definitely my favourite of the two, and I would eat this flavour regularly if they were permanently on sale.

In conclusion...Will I ever see this flavour range again? Will I ever see this flavour range again?

Vanilla Mars Bar and in general

Hi, as you all know mars bars are pretty good, satisfying, nice amount of chocolate, caramel and nougat.  I don't really buy them that often, usually the fun size ones when they're on special.

 
These new vanilla mars bars I saw advertised and thought I'd try one. The concept sounded interesting to me and I was expecting the nougat bit to be vanilla and the rest the same. When I ate it I found that the nougat is indeed vanilla and quite nice. The caramel isn't quite the same though, it's like a chocolate caramel hence why it's actually called a Choc Vanilla Mars Bar. While the caramel is nice, it sort of overpowers the flavour of the vanilla nougat, I would have preferred the original caramel.

Overall quite nice, but I would prefer the original Mars Bar to this one.

Biscuits that are nice (but embarrassing to buy)

Hi, as a lover of things sweet I'm always trying new stuff. Having said that I have eaten these biscuits before but for the purposes of describing it, I'll start there.

As you can see, these are children's biscuits. They're delicious! But I'll just say that you couldn't find a more processed product than these biscuits if you tried. Having said that the word artificial has never stopped me when it came to eating stuff, I would probably avoid feeding these to children. I'd say let them try it once, but they'd remember and want more lol. Maybe strictly as a party food.

The Tic Tocs are vanilla flavoured, with a glaze of icing. The icing comes in pink, yellow and white, I think they taste different but that may be synesthesia. I would prefer if the icing was thicker but they're still  nice.

The Hundreds & Thousand biscuits were my favourite of the two. The vanilla flavoured biscuit was more substantial as was the layer of icing over the top. A much more satisfying biscuit to eat. The icing comes in only pink, but it tastes very nice, just sweet really. "Tastes like pink." lol.

There are also honey jumbles in this range which no doubt I will be investigating at some stage. Until then.

Toblerone!

Hi, today I would like to talk about Toblerone. It's delicious! lol.

Quality chocolate, very rich and high in cocoa solids. Bits of almond and a very nice tasting nougat that tastes like honey to me strewn through the block.

As you know, it has quite a distinctive shape. I am still to learn the correct technique of separating the pieces (I manage eventually) because I like to break a block of chocolate down to pieces before I eat it.

It's usual flavour is the milk chocolate variety and it comes in dark as well but I found this block of White Toblerone and couldn't resist. (While I know white chocolate is more confectionery then chocolate, I still like it alot as you will find out.)

So I would rate Toblerone highly within the chocolate realms. This White Toblerone was super, I wish I could find it again.

Exotic Filled Liquorice

Hi there, this is a blog to indulge my sweet tooth and junk food enthusiasm.

In my first post I would like to talk exotic filled liquorice. This is something you can only really get at fairs, festivals or shows. There are a few different manufacturers and seem to be made overseas, Spain mostly.

What is it? Delicious! It's hard to explain what you would classify it as. It is tubes of flavoured liquorice that are filled with a sherbet/nougat type substance. It comes in a ridiculous amount of flavours, my favourites from what I tried were the Ice cream, Lemonade and Tutti Fruitti.

This is only one brand as I have said, and I have tried some other ones where the strips looked like plasticine and I couldn't even tell what flavour it was. Still nice though, just really weird.

So if you see a filled liquorice stall, try some, they will be happy to hook you in with a few pieces.
