[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten Free Bacon & Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts

Spotted these puff pastry tarts which are similar to quiche except the pastry has been replaced with puff pastry.
I got the Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten Free Bacon & Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts which I enjoyed because they felt much lighter than a quiche.
The filling contained potatoes, maple cured smoked bacon and extra mature cheddar cheese in a creme frache sauce topped with bacon lardons.

[Review] Aldi Holly Lane Hazelnut Crispy Squares

To be honest, I was specifically at Aldi to get the Rhubarb Custard crumble tarts but stumbled upon these Holly Lane Hazelnut Crispy Squares.
They also had the chocolate & Marshmallow crunch which I would have also liked because of the Marshmallow but I guess the pink put me off.

Priced at 1.69 they were not cheap but if it is good then it would be a nice treat I got from Aldi and not a bargain.

To my surprise these hazelnut crispy squares were actually delicious.
The hazelnut, caramel and chocolate on the chewy crispies actually worked.
As they were quite sweet, I've actually cut the pieces in to four so that I can nibble on them when I want.
Putting them in the fridge make them extra chewy and less sweet :)
Unfortunately, the smaller pieces were quite addictive so you end up eating more.










[Review] Aldi Holly Lane Rhubarb custard crumbles

Recently snackschats reviewed these Rhubarb custard crumbles which seemed worthy of trying so I made a special trip to Aldi for them.
Again I was bowled over by another Aldi product Thanks to @snackschat
This Rhubarb & Custard crumble was amazing, the pastry was light and soft topped with fine crumbles.
The star of the show had to be the filling, there were chunks of rhubarb and a thin layer of yellow custard.
Although it wasn't as tart as I hoped, it was still nice but the rhubarb chunks were a bit woody on the first tart, custard wasn't that visible.
On my second tart, you could visibly see more custard.
Definitely worth trying because it is hard finding anything with real chunks of rhubarb in it.
Just as snackschat said this gives you more satisfaction than your ordinary Kiplings.

Also had it with some custard and it tasted fantastic.

[Review] Sabra Mezze Houmous Extra

The competition for houmous is fierce these days with every supermarket having their own range of houmous in different flavours.
As I haven't tried the Sabra Houmous I decided to review it.
My first impressions was that the tub was nice but the contents looked thick inside.
According to the label, it is a smooth, rich and decadent. Sabra Houmous Extra is topped with pine nuts and Olive Oil and contains extra whole chickpeas at the bottom for the most authentic tasting houmous available.

After trying it, I was quite impressed because it tasted like the houmous you get at restaurant where it is thick and creamy.
The pine nuts and whole chickpeas are what makes it special.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Roasted mushroom & onion pie

I love pies with mash on top but sometimes I don't feel like meat hence the Marks and Spencers Roasted mushroom & onion pie was perfect.
It has roasted mushrooms and caramelized onions topped with creamy parsley mash on top.
The mushrooms are in this delicious red wine gravy so you get that complete pie satisfaction but without the meat.





[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers 4 Bubble and Squeak Cakes

Spotted the Marks and Spencers 4 Bubble and Squeak Cakes so had to get them because I love bubble and squeak.
In the box, you get 4 big cakes.
The taste was a bit a disappointing because it was bland but after adding some salt it was much better.
The bubble and squeak cakes were a bit oily as well.





[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Chocolate Swiss Roll

A while ago, I spotted these fresh cream rolls at Marks and Spencers.
There was Passion fruit or Chocolate.
As the passion fruit was new, tried that first and it was amazing because it was refreshing.

This time I got the M&S Marks and Spencers Chocolate Swiss Roll which is a moist sponge filled with whipping cream and gooey chocolate sauce.
Again, it fulfilled my sweet cravings especially the chocolate sponge because it was light yet the chocolate was intense complemented by the dreamy cream.
The chocolate sauce wasn't gooey as stated but I still loved it because it was not cloyingly sweet so I was happy eating that roll to myself over three days.
