Cadbury snow bites

Tried these snow bites made for Christmas.
The packaging was nice, it was balls of chocolate coated in a dusted sugar crisp.

Cheesy fun with The Chunky Cheese Co

After getting some tasteless cheese, I was craving for some tasty cheese when I spotted these individually packed pieces of cheese which was perfect for me because I didn't feel like getting a block that day.

I really liked it because they had three flavours:
Mature cheddar with chilli and lime
Mature cheddar with cracked black pepper
Tangy mature cheddar.

Anyway, I bought all three to try but the shop stuck these nasty labels which won't come off!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mature cheddar with chilli and lime:
The chilli was surprisingly fiery and the lime was subtle.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mature cheddar with cracked black pepper:

The cheddar with cracked black pepper was really nice when you chewed the black pepper pieces releasing a nice peppery kick.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tangy mature cheddar.

Last but not least, I loved this one because of the sharp taste.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is what they look like without the labelling.

Lay's black bean prawn flavour crisps 豆豉蝦味薯片

Thanks to my friend for getting these from China!
I really liked this flavour because it reminds you of Chinese takeaways and black bean dishes.

The black bean flavour was not that strong but it was quite spicy.

ORIGINAL GINZENG:
This contains American ginseng with natural rock sugar and water to help improve wellbeing and rejuvenates the body. American ginseng is known to deepen concentration, sharpen your mind, improve memory, and energize the body, all without caffeine!
I loved the taste of this one because the ginseng tasted natrual with a hint of bitterness and it was not too sweet.

I didn't try this because I don't like the smell of rose.

Orange millions milk chocolate bar

Orange millions:



The chocolate had a nice orange smell and it had pieces of crisp and chewy orange flavoured pieces in it which tasted delicious with the milk chocolate.
It tasted great after I put the chocolate in the freezer because the pieces became chewier.

too sum 100 calorie snack bar

When I first came across this snack bar I thought it was a dental product because of the name toosum.

toosum comes from the old English word “toothsome,” means temptingly tasty and delicious.

toosum seeks tasty natural ingredients from around the world and each 100 calorie snack bar flavour is inspired by exotic locations such as the South Pacific islands, the Amazon rainforest, the Greek Mediterranean Sea, and East Asia.

There are four flavours:
Each bar is clearly labelled.

My favourites were the greek yoghurt and the cherries and plum really I love the fruity tastes.
The texture of the bar was nice and chewy with crispy chia seeds in it and the overall taste was good because it was not too sweet.
