[Review] Rolo Dessert Pots

These days many confectioneries are turned into desserts or ice creams which makes the experience even more indulgent.

This year Barratt sweets have come up with flumps ice cream lolly as well as dib dab ice lollies.

Rolo Dessert pots have been around for many years and still taste ridiculously good.

If you have tried the chocolate version, it is basically chewy toffee in chocolate.

The dessert version is similar with toffee creme at the bottom and chocolate on top and the taste is so decadent and satisfying as a dessert.

As well as rolo, there are many other confectionery desserts that have been around for decades which I will review later.

[Arctic Roll] by Birds Eye

An Arctic roll is a British dessert made of vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of sponge cake to form a roll, with a layer of raspberry flavoured sauce between the sponge and the ice cream.

It was invented by Dr. Ernest Velden, an immigrant from the Czechoslovakia who set up a factory at Lottbridge Drove, Eastbourne in 1968. to cope with popular demand.
However, it was discontinued by Birds Eye in the 1990s due to the lack of demand.

The Arctic roll made a return in 2008 due to the economic downturn where consumers were looking for low cost foods.

To be honest, I have tried other brands before but Birds Eye has to be the best.

The roll is best eaten about 5 minutes after it is taken out of the freezer because the texture of the ice cream and roll is soft.
Everything was in perfect harmony as the thin layer of sweet raspberry jam worked with the vanilla ice cream and sponge which was not too sweet.

The combination of ice cream and sponge cake was just delicious!

Nestle Mint & Choc Aero bubbly mousse

I have always wanted to get this but unfortunately it comes in packs of four which I thought was difficult to finish but they tasted so good that I had two in one go.
When you peel back the lid, there is a pretty swirl of mint green and chocolate.
The taste is so light and airy that it disappears in your mouth hence the reason I can have two pots in one go.
The taste is a bit like mint chocolate flavoured whipped cream.

The regular Aero chocolate bubbly mousse is just as good but it just tastes of plain chocolate.

Overall, they tasted how they should ie light and chocolatey with mousse bubbles that burst in your mouth.

Mint aero mousse is still my favourite.

Will be trying the limited edition aero hazelnut mousse soon.

As well as dreamy mint & Choc bubbly mousse, you can also get Aero creations with chocolate/hazelnut mousse which has thin layers of crisp chocolate.

Hartley's Strawberry Jelly 135g

If you are British, you will obviously know that jelly comes in jelly blocks before you make it.
In some other countries they come in powder form like Hartley's glitter jelly.

I decided to post this so that people can see the jelly block before it is made and I always ending eating some of it before making the jelly.

It comes in a packet like this:

When you remove the wrapper, there is a pretty jelly block that is firm and tough.

To make the jelly, it is best to cut them into squares cubes.

Obviously I ate some because some of the cubes have disappeared and they taste amazing just like that with a lovely strawberry fragrance and they are not too sweet!

You just simply add boiling water, let it dissolve and pour it into a container and let it set in the fridge for a few hours.

Here is the jelly that is ready.
It is slightly lighter in colour.

Hartley's raspberry flavour glitter jelly

I was so excited when I saw Hartley's new glitter jelly range in the supermarkets.

There are three flavours:
-Hartley's Mixed Berry Glitter Jelly

-Hartley's Raspberry Glitter Jelly

-Hartley's Strawberry Glitter Jelly

It was really hard to decide which flavour to get but in the end I chose Raspberry because I wanted the jelly to look foodogenic with a nice sparkle.

The packaging is great with a silver and pink tone to it.

Much to my excitement, I forgot to take a picture of the jelly powder and mixed it with hot water straight away.

After mixing it, you could see fine edible sparkling particles swirling round in the mixture.

When it was ready to eat, the jelly was shimmering.

The taste was like normal raspberry jelly however the texture was too soft for my liking but it could be my fault because I just couldn't wait to try it.

I thought it would be fun to try the other two flavours as well.

They were both similar in consistency but the blue one had the prettiest sparkle.

Vegetable jelly

Normally jellies are fruit flavoured but I happened to come across one that was made of vegetables by a Japanese brand called Woody Village.

On the side of the cup, it shows the vegetables that are in the jelly.

After peeling the lid, you can see tomato seeds in the jelly.

There were bits and pieces of vegetables in it.
As for the taste, there was a strong tomato taste but I didn't like it because it tasted artificially sweet which is really weird because tomatoes are not meant to be sweet.

There was also carrot jelly as well so I wonder how that would taste.
