Colin the Caterpillar Softies Review

 So, after my first blog post where I reviewed sweets from a Spanish company that aren't very widely available here, I have decided that for my second blog post I will review sweets that are native to Great Britain.

The ones I am talking about go by the name:


                 Colin the Caterpillar Softies


For those who don't know, they are a first party product of British retailer "Marks and Spencer". Part of their "Colin the Caterpillar" range which also consists of a chocolate cake(maybe I'll talk more about that another time). These "Raspberry & Milk Flavoured Foam Sweets" have a very nice taste and I really like the foamy feel of them.


Each bag of contains around 18 Caterpillars inside them.



I don't know about you but this looks like a rather unsatisfactory amount to have which is why I typically like to buy 2 bags during 1 visit to M&S.


Now that's more like it!

Being of a similar size and shape to the "Tornadoes" I reviewed last week (or 9 days ago on a Sunday if you want to be technical), I often like to eat them in a similar manner.

They are highly recommended to anyone looking in an M&S shop for something to eat after lunch/supper or maybe just something to have as a snack throughout the day and I do hope I will be able to convince at least a few to try these out.

Though I will admit that I do get a bit sick after having 36 whole caterpillars in only about half an hour, so maybe take breaks between eating some.

Why are they still selling Halloween themed "Rice Krispies Squares" in March?

Image
About a week ago, Sainsbury's delivered this pack of four "Gooey Marshmallow" flavoured "Rice Krispies Squares" to my family's house. Except they weren't "Squares". They were SCARES: Yes, that's right. Sainsbury's is still selling the Halloween themed variant of Gooey Marshmallow Squares (called Ooey Gooey Marshmallow) at the end of March. Almost 5 whole months have passed since Halloween and even after we've had Christmas, New Year, Valentine's day and Pancake day we are still getting these. At this point some may even see this as a premature tie-in to THIS year's Halloween. But seriously, Here's the best explanation I can come up with for why this is happening: Perhaps they WERE originally sent to store shelves all that time ago before last year's Halloween. But they must have greatly overestimated how many of these would be sold during the Halloween period, to the point that they still haven't been able to se...

Tunnock's Milk Chocolate Teacakes Review

Image
Today's Review will be on milk chocolate teacakes, specifically the ones sold by Thomas Tunnock Limited. They also sell a dark chocolate version but I never had them because I don't like dark chocolate. For those unfamiliar with chocolate teacakes, this is what they look like: This may initially seem like nothing more than strangely shaped chocolate but looks can be deceiving. This is how it looks like when cut in half: As you can see, it's only chocolate on the outside. On the inside, there's a biscuit on the bottom, and this giant marshmallow(well it tastes like a marshmallow but it's much less solid than an actual one) on the top. What an ingenious idea. Here's how the whole marshmallow looks like without the chocolate covering it: Pairing the soft marshmallow with the crunchy biscuit makes for an overall very tasty treat. I find it hard to imagine that anybody wouldn't love eating this unless they're one of those people that hate chocolate, marshmall...

Cuétara Ricanela crackers review

Image
I feel I owe my non existent followers an apology for not making any new posts in over 3 weeks. I have been going through a very difficult time in my life lately and either haven't had the time or was too upset to make any new posts. For my first new post, I have decided to talk about cinnamon biscuits/cookies/crackers from this Mexican (or Spanish?) company called "Gómez-Cuétara Hmnos, S.A. de C.V." They call their cinnamon biscuits "Ricanela" (canela is Spanish for cinnamon) and I have to warn you, they are very addicting. Heres what one looks like: I had got these from Amazon.co.uk a couple weeks ago as I was looking for graham crackers (prefe rably cinnamon flavoured), and these seemed close enough to that and would come the earliest. I only got them so I could make s'mores (never really had them before and was curious). But was surprised how good they tasted on their own. In fact I'd say they tasted incredible. To be fair, t hese are like the only c...
