Eat Natural fruit and nut bars

Finally tried these Eat Natural fruit and nut bars.
My favourite was clearly the almond and apricot where they always pair together well as well as the tasty yoghurt coating which is not too sweet along with the lovely chewy texture.
The protein packed bar was a bit too heavy for me as it was too peanutty but the taste wasn't bad.
If I were to try their other bars in future I would go for the darker chocolate with almonds and apricots, apple, ginger and dark chocolate, cashew, blueberry and yoghurt coating!






pepsi Max

The pepsi max had a Pleasant sweetness but leaves a clinging sweet aftertaste.
Tried at room temperature and chilled.

Persian Trail mix from my Persian Prince!

I was given these nuts from my Persian Prince which were such a delight.
It was a Persian Trail mix of green raisins, chickpeas, pistachios, whole almonds, walnuts and these amazing sweet dried mulberries.
You won't want to touch a normal fruit and nut mix again!!





Snacksters Doner Kebab

I have always wanted to try Snacksters but have been holding back because the ones at Iceland are ffrozen.
When I saw the ones at Poundland which were in the chilled section and only required 1 minute in the microwave I decided to finally buy them.
Described as sliced doner meat in a soft flatbread with a sachet of chilli sauce.
Sadly, there was no sachet of chilli sauce in the bag.
The doner slices looked like uniform slices of ham but after heating in the microwave, they looked the part in terms of colour and texture.
Overall, the doner slices were quite tasty if not better as they were not gritty with that usual salty kick however I felt I didn't get the full experience with the chilli sauce missing.




Snickers almond butter bar

Spotted these Snickers almond butter bars at the newsagent.
There are 2 squares inside. 
I found them very sweet and couldn't taste any almond or almond butter.
The so called almond butter part was rather waxy and doesn't really melt in your mouth.
Rather disappointing and pricey.





Swizzels rhubarb custard chews

I am not really a sweets person but the Swizzels rhubarb custard chews was seriously comforting and moreish!
It's been ages since I've had penny sweets.
There was no weird aftertaste or artifcial sweetness.

Quaker heavenly oats - chocolate orange & caramel fudge

I love flavoured oats because this is the only way to make me eat oats.
Strangely when I posted these new heavenly oats I got many disgusted comments.
For the new Quaker's heavenly oats series there is chocolate & orange and caramel fudge so I bought both.

As well as sweet oats I have also tried the Asian savoury Quakers oats which is similar to savoury porridge.
It was really hard deciding which flavour to try first so I decided to save best to last and try orange which I am not so fond of.
There are dark chocolate chips in the pot which melt when you add hot water.
The taste of this porridge was really good and totally made my day as it was so indulgent without being too sweet yet the orange was well balanced.
The orange flavouring was light and natrual so it was in harmony.



The next day I tried the fudge which was also sweet and heavenly but in a different way.
It was more of a caramel sweetness with chewy bits of sugary fudge.
There was a buttery hint and taste to the oats.
For both flavours, the oats had this lovely thick, sticky chew to it.
Overall, I loved these sweet oat treats although you could add sweet things yourself.
I was inspired to add something to the fudge and so added some caramilk which really took it to the next level so I think I will buy more oats in the future and add some fancy things into it.
