Birdseye Potato Waffle

Birdseye Potato Waffle are simply the best, I was brought up on them and have tried other brands which simply cannot replicate how good it is.

These waffles are really tasty and you have this sticky mash texture in the middle with a crisp exterior.

Overall, these are amazing and complete any breakfast.

The above was done in the oven and the second time I had them, I toasted them and the results were just as delicious but much much quicker!

Mini potato waffles also available but I still find the unicorn waffles to buy:

M&S Barbers cheddar melt in the middle cheese fondants

I am so glad I tried the Marks & Spencers Barbers cheddar melt in the middle cheese fondants because they were really tasty.
They are a bit like American popovers filled with cheese in the middle.

Lidl Rowan Hill Thick & Fluffy Crumpets

I had a craving for crumpets so having tried M&S and Warburtons I decided to try a different brand.

Both Lidl and Aldi were offering them for 25p for 6.

Comparing the two I got Lidl because they visually looked better and were softer on touch.

To my surprise, they did not disapppoint because they toasted nicely giving a nice crisp exterior and then you have that soft squidgy texture when you eat it.

They were amazing with some marmite butter or jam.

Also tried it with fluff and the taste was so good.

To be honest, they were just as good as Warburtons so I secretly wonder if they are the suppliers.

Walls cornetto dragon ice cream

Spotted the Walls cornetto dragon mini ice creams at Poundland so decided to try them because the box was really stylish!
I loved the black and fiery design.

You get 8 x 55ml cones in a box but the size of these minis are slightly bigger than the Wall Miniature cones.

Anyway, I had to give them a try because they are non UK versions.

Currently you can get the dragon version in Australia and Netherlands however the ice cream looks visually different because the box I have is solid orange ice cream with strawberry sauce whereas the online photos show orange and strawberry ice cream.

Basically the same issue as the Cornetto mermaid, there were two different versions.

On the box, it is labelled as mango, passion fruit and strawberry sauce in a crunchy cocoa cone topped with chocolate cookie bits.

Personally I didn't like it because I just don't like mango and it tastes more like sorbet than ice cream.

Kinder Milk Slice

I can't really remember the last time I had a milk slice but from memory it was good and since then other similar variants haven't been as good.

The Milkybar milk slice on the other hand was really good.

Spotted the Kinder milk slice at Poundland so decided to try it again.

It was a pack of 3 for a pound.

Basically it is two thin slices of cake with white fluffy cream in the middle that melts in your mouth.

The cake slices were a little dry with a strong taste and smell of honey.

Overall nice with a cup of tea but somehow it does not taste as good as it used to be.

Jim Jams Hazelnut spread - no added sugar

Jim Jams spreads are widely available at the supermarket but I have not tried it because of the price.

I would say they are a relatively new brand as they were not around 10 years ago.

Anyway, they were giving out samples at Morrisons so I got to try the no added sugar hazelnut spread.

When they say no added sugar, it either means no added sugar or a substitute is used.

In this case, Maltitol was used.

After trying it, I was pleasantly surprised that the spread was really tasty and not cloyingly sweet because some sweeteners do not taste nice.

It tasted like a hazelnut nut butter with chocolate added but it was not too dry on application yet smooth.

The spread is nothing like or as sweet as nutella but I prefer this because of the hazelnut goodness and taste so you can slather on more!!

Well done Jim Jams!

Ferrero Rocher DARK chocolate hazelnut bar

Earlier last year, Ferrero Rocher launched these chocolate bars available in white, milk and dark.

I know I am late in the game but I finally got my hands on them as they were only a pound at Tescos.

They only had the dark chocolate but I was fine with that because I love dark.

Overall, you can imagine eating a ferrero rocher without the wafer but the only let down was the texture.

I found it rather soft on snapping so I will be putting it in the freezer to see if it helps.
