Blueberry / Blue Berry Jammie Dodgers

I love Jammie dodgers so I had to get the new blue coloured jammie dodgers when TESCOS had them.
Again, they contain apple just like the other ones.
Overall, another nice jammie dodger with a great blueberry aftertaste.

Sorbos Edible straws

As I was early somewhere, I popped into the Londis by the petrol station with no expectations and I was so surprised to find some really cool discoveries there.
First there was a fwip machine and there was a some slush drink.
What got my attention were these edible straws which come in quite a few flavours, they are free if you buy the slush drink or you can buy them for 30p.
These days you can get so many edible things like edible coffee cups and edible chopsticks etc.
Anyway, I had to try it myself.
The interesting thing is that they have no expiry date for something edible but after googling it they have a shelf life of 2 years.
A few years ago, Bacardi were giving away these straws when you buy the drink but as I don't drink alcohol I didn't get it.
Anyway, the strawberry and chocolate were quite different.
You could really taste and smell strawberry in the drink hence it didn't work well as a straw unless you paired it with strawberry milkshake.
Chocolate on the otherhand was amazing and did not add any flavour to the water.
Overall chocolate was my favourite.
When the straws are wet, the surface goes slimey which makes sense because it contains gelatin and that slimey hydrogel surface acts as a barrier to help it serve its purpose as a straw until you have finished your drink!

fwip Salted caramel Italian Ice Cream / Gelato

On a random visit to Londis, I discovered fwip Italian ice cream which is bascially portioned ice cream dispensed from the fwip machine.
You choose your flavour capsule and basically put it in the drawer, press the button and ice cream comes out similar to freal which dispenses milkshakes.
Overall, I was impressed with the taste of the salted caramel which was very fudgey and buttery.
The look of the ice cream dispenser and cups were bright and cheerful as well as the blue spoons.












Tesco New York Cheesecake

If you have tried the Salted Caramel cheesecake from Tesco, it is basically the same without the salted caramel and chocolate topping.

Bobby's Salt & Vinger and Prawn Cocktail Spirals

Bobby's snacks have been around for ages but I felt that they haven't had justice as they are so delicous.
I had them before but in those days I didn't really blog.
Anyway, I got them again recently and they taste as good as they used to be if not better.
The spirals are big and have a moderately hard crunch which then melts in your mouth with that starchy texture.
Overall both flavours are addictive and moreish that you end up finishing the whole bag especially the prawn cocktail which is similar to SKIPS but a million times better.

Salted caramel HIP oat milk chocolate

I have always wanted to try HIP chocolates which are made with oat milk.
Finally tried it because there were samples at IFE 2022.
I tried the salted caramel which was actually quite nice and unsuspectingly vegan and you could really taste the grains of salt at the end.
Although I liked it, I feel that I can only give it a proper review when I have tried the creamy original one.






Tesco Salted Caramel Bar Cake

According to Tesco reviews, the Tesco Salted Caramel Bar Cake is not new and was sold in 2020 but your rarely see it.
I spotted it last week so planned to buy it the next day but it was sold out already.
They also have chocolate brownie but Salted caramel is obviously a hot seller as the chocolate brownie one was still there.
Went back a week later and managed to get it.
The bar cake reminds me of a long version of the M&S sticky toffee mini loaves with the buttercream and decorations.
The star decorations and chocolate curls definitely make it attractive.
Beneath the buttercream you have this decadent caramel cake and caramel filling which really satisfies a nice afternoon treat with tea.
Overall, recommended.
