[Review] Sainsburys Toffee apples for Halloween and Bonfire night

Halloween is round the corner so you will why lots of toffee apples at the supermarkets.
It brings me memories of bobbing apples at a Halloween party where we had to bite some apples that were floating in a cauldron.
This year, I started my Halloween with a toffee apple from Sainsburys as I have not posted any before.

The one I got was from Sainsburys.
Taking a bite which I literally couldn't because it was rock hard and turned out to be a little bit painful with the hard surface of the apple knocking against my teeth!
In the end I broke into the apple with a spoon and it was quite delicious with the texture of the sweet juicy apple against the crunchy chewy candy coating which I believe is sugar and not toffee.
Overall, if you have never tried a toffee apple, why not try it.

city’super Launches Annual Christmas Hamper and Gift Set Collection

city’super is sharing the joy of Christmas launching over 20 Christmas hampers and a range of festive goodies for all budgets – including the ultimate mammoth trunk hamper for gourmet and wine connoisseurs.

The ‘Christmas Extravaganza’ hamper is probably the most prestigious ever proposed – featuring some 50 of the world’s most well-known fine wines, spirits and delicacies, with a price tag to match at a breath-taking HK$238,800!

Available for order from 22 October to 7 December 2018, the world-class hamper is headlined by a bottle of legendary Château Lafite-Rothschild 1982, alone valued at HK$49,800, from the most celebrated blue-chip vintage of the last 50 years.

Amongst some 20 other festive hampers, available for order from 22 October to 21 December, city’super’s brand new ‘Surprise Box’ hamper (HK$998) is packaged in a crafted wooden box of quintessential treats, tonnes of fun with festive balloons, cuddly MANUAL FACTORY Bear and a multi-purpose board game set, especially designed for joyous celebration in style.

I was impressed with the TOKU TOKU Hard Candy Cotton Candy Maker (HK$289) because it uses any hard boiled sweets to make candyfloss so the world is your oyster and you can make any flavour as long as you have the candy.
