25.01.2022 [MILKA COPAYA] Whilst I cant read any of the writing on the front, I certainly see white chocolate. I also see almonds and coconut. I think I’m willing to risk it and live on the wild side this time... . I mean, it’s really not that wild: it dons the ‘Milka’ label across the top - it’s good enough for me . The smell of it alone was interesting: it was like a beg if crushed almonds mixed with shredded coconut. That sounds specific, but I couldn’t relate it to anything else!... . Then, getting it out of the pack - I realised that the fillings (which are phenomenally plentiful and obviously from the second you lay eyes on the chocolate!) probably are just that... haha. . This is getting a bit on the matter - but notice that the almonds haven’t even been peeled - this gives the almonds an extra strong roasted almond flavour - and I’m all about that life! . After putting this in your mouth, everything stops for a second, and you need to pay homage to Milka’s white chocolate... so nice and creamy, just perfect. . The chunky (well, tiny, but plentiful) mix-ins worked really well to give it a unique texture. Most closely, the texture is somewhat like an Aussie Golden Rough chocolate! (Where have those been btw... delicious ) . Due to the shredded nature of the coconut, and the finely crushed roasted almonds - the two are almost indistinguishable! But, trust when I say you don’t need to be tell them apart - they just work . . Interestingly - aside from saying that this is a new recipe - the pack also says that this chocolate is better cold or from the fridge (yes, I used Google Translate extensively... it’s all I had at my disposal )! That may be... or at least they’ve suggested it... but if you’re doing that: a) delete me. Chocolate does NOT belong in the fridge! b) why bother eating chocolate to start with? Just buy a big bag of Brussels sprouts . Anyhow, will finish this by saying that our whole Euro shipment has been 10/10 so far See more

25.01.2022 [PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE COOKIES] Sure Halloween has just ended... but the season hasn’t left us goddamnit! I’m here for all things pumpkin spice, and I refuse to let it go ... just yet... . Now hold on just one second: that’s right, read the label again, pumpkin CHEESECAKE! These are no ordinary pumpkin spiced cookies. . The good peeps at Pepperidge Farm have put together this limited edition seasonal SOFT cookie (part of me still thinks about the Family Guy representation o...f Pepperidge Farm... DM me if you haven’t seen it ). . Let’s cover one other big bit of info here: do I like pumpkin spiced products? No, not particularly... I like bits of them, but they get all too much when they’re just shitty and fake . (The Kit Kat’s were a no go, but I’ve got higher hopes for these ) . Doesn’t stop me from hunting them down every American fall season . Must be some weird perversion . . I haven’t even tried these yet - but I just HAD to show them off . These will go live with the mega release on Wednesday See more

23.01.2022 [PRINGLES SALTED EGG] ... if you’ve never had this flavour before... trust me, I know what you’re thinking... . I know, because I was you about a year or so ago! Hear me out: . I travelled to Singapore (yes, remember the good old days - travel! ), and EVERYONE in the airport had these yellow bags for ‘Irwins’ chips.... . I found the stand, and there they were - THE chips! Oh what... SALTED EGG chips?! . I was like... nahhhhh. Then I walked around and kept seeing them, and eventually thought ‘how bad could egg taste anyways?!! It’s not exactly artichoke or something ’. . Long story short: WOWWWZERSSSS! Amazing! . Fast forward to getting these Pringle’s - I was excited by them at first, but still kept them at bay for a week or so. . (Ok getting sick of my own long winded story here - cutting out paragraphs...) Fast forward you: . Had the Pringle’s, and wowwww! Haha. I would say that they were ‘Irwin’s Chips Good’ (because those were really top shelf!), but these were about as close as I’ve had! Really hit the spot, and would hit them again and again! . Who else has had Salted Egg snacks?! Any other good recommendations?? See more

23.01.2022 [REESE’S PUMPKIN] ...with PIECES! . Ok, I can’t help myself, but I realllyyyy need to drill this message in: holiday treats, are the BEST treats!! (If you don’t agree... fight me!... in the comments... I’m weak in real life ) . Ok, evidence #1: look at how thicccckkkkkkkk that pumpkin is.... Honestly, the chocolate / peanut butter quantity and ratio on these pumpkins is next level You can immediately see that you’re getting more, and it just fills the gob that much... better . Note: ONE pumpkin is about the same weight as TWO Reese’s Cups . . The second article of evidence: the Reese’s Pieces inside the pumpkin . For those that watched me eat this in my stories, you’ll know that they caught me off guard. I knew how good the pumpkin was going to be, but thought that the pieces might just be a tiny bonus: nope, I was wrong! Those pieces DEFS deserve their own individual appreciation! . The pieces (which can be purchased separately as Reese’s Pieces - are like M&M’s, but there’s no chocolate, and instead the filling is Reese’s Peanut Butter! ), being encased in that chocolate, have obviously softened up a little, and even though their shell is crispy, it easily breaks - and the peanut butter inside is Devine! . Anyhow, there was much silence in my tasting... just much appreciation of the greatness of these pumpkins . . What’s your fav holiday treat?! See more

22.01.2022 [JOLLY RANCHER MISFITS] the new lineups continue - but wait there’s more - they’re also tastier . . Whilst I clearly like to test all types of treats, it’s no secret that gummies are not necessarily my favourite - I’m defs a chocolate kinda guy! . So, when something like this comes along, my mind goes to two places:... 1. How awesome does this look?! Then; 2. It’s probably not THAT great, and besides, how could it be better than an original Jolly Rancher? . Well, number one - it DOES look cool! The boldness of the cartoon fruit is a newer look for JR’s, and the fact that it’s half strawberry half lemon draws you in. . More importantly: the taste... wow. So soft and perfectly chewy, with such a strong flavour! Like, how do you get that much flavour inside of a gummy candy, without it just being ‘holy moly that was a lot of sugary sweetness’?! Well, I’m not scientists... but the flavours stood out ! . I’ve had Jolly Rancher gummies before, and they haven’t been a standout by any shot, but for the moment - I’d totally choose these over the original hard candy! (Big call I know ) See more

21.01.2022 [TERRYS WHITE CHOC ORANGE] We’re slowly releasing pics of the mega haul that’s to come this Wednesday, and this was a big one for me . I saw pictures of the white chocolate orange Terry’s chocolate a few months ago, and I was seriously... mind blown! . I LOVE Terry’s chocolate orange, and there’d been very little innovation in their range in the decades that it’s been around for (which is often a good thing - I mean why spoil a working formula?!).... . Anyhow, white choc seemed like an obvious progression (like with everything right - once you see it you go ‘ohhh yeh that makes sense!’ ). . Let me cut to the chase: the tasting. As soon as I opened the pack and stuck my nose in - the orange smell was MEGA! I mean, not sure what I was expecting, but it still smelled like original Terry’s . The taste was interesting: much more subtle than the milk choc flavour!the subtlety I see as a high-quality thing, hear me out. Lots of companies do white choc versions, and all it ends up being is a product which is so sweet and overpoweringly sugary, that it puts me off. These guys have executed well, and brought a too product to market . . On the stories I unveiled the big white choc Terry’s orange balls, here we have the minis - that’s two products unveiled in one . . There’s actually a few more Terry’s variants coming... stay tuned... See more

19.01.2022 [TERRY’S] Terry’s Chocolate Orange RANGEEEE (remember when all it was was just a single products - the Orange...? I mean, that still one of the coolest concepts in store-shelf chocolates!) has been making quite a feature on our page in recent times... I mean, how do we NOT with all of the cool products they’ve released?! . So, whilst I have to give the ‘coolest release’ award to the whole white orange (I think you would too... as far as cool concepts go... it’s a WHOLE orange... that splits into slices!!! ), these would receive the award as the best, most conventional, way of eating the classic Terry’s. . I’ve had the original milk before, so it was time to try one of the other two blocks... here I took @emily_fairhurstfood ‘s lead - she says that the biscuit bar is one of the best bars released in recent times (and if you see how much good chocolate she eats, you’d probably take her lead too... ). . Based on the picture, I expected the milk chocolate with chunks of biscuit randomly throughout - but it wasn’t! . The entire bottom of the block was covered in little bubble chunks of ‘something’ which I expected to not be like biscuit at all... . Long story short, they DID taste like biscuit, and there was a lot more of it than I expected - double win! . Oops... it’s Sunday, and I’m late for a family function - so I’ll end this here . . Let me know if you’ve had this - or which Terry’s is your favourite! See more

18.01.2022 [CADBURY SCREME EGG] Get it...? Screme... not creme...? It’s Halloween...? oh man... sometimes you just need to amuse yourself amirite?!? . Well, I enjoyed it ! . But seriously - how coooool are these?! Released in the US as a Halloween special - I think they tie in perfectly for us Aussies - we already love the Easter edition, and besides, who’s complaining about getting these eggs TWICE per year?? Not me, that’s for sure .... . So, I understand the part where they don’t release them here - we don’t ‘technically’ celebrate Halloween - but do they USUALLY release the creme eggs in the US during Easter?? That’s seriously news to me... (Hold up - what’s Cadbury even DOING in the US?! I either haven’t had enough sleep, or I’m totally into something ). . Regardless - the taste WAS a bit diff to the Easter Creme Egg’s we’re used to getting here! I put this down to two things: 1. Being made for the US, the milk choc formula is different in itself 2. The creme just has a SLIGHTLY diff taste to it. I can’t quite put my finger on it... but it’s slightly diff! (Again, if I HAD tried an American Creme Egg - perhaps I’d be all like ‘nope, exactly the same, diff colour!’) . Regardless though, I think the colour is WICKED as, and it’s worth buying for that if no other reason (I don’t need extra excuses, I loooovvveeee creme eggs ). . Have you seen any other cool editions of these that I’ve missed?! Plz tell me ASAP See more

18.01.2022 [PUMPKIN PIE KIT KAT] Talk about a staple of the Halloween / Autumn season in the US - it’s ALLLLL things pumpkin ! . Do I like pumpkin or pumpkin spice? I really don’t think I do... I’ve only just come around to even eating pumpkin in recent years, so go easy on me! . Do I like seeing all of these products in pumpkin flavour though...? ABSOLUTELY! I don’t know why, but I think it all looks cool! ... . So, let’s just firstly acknowledge how cool this pack looks! Not only the colours on the outside, but the Kit Kat fingers on the inside come in 3 different autumn/pumpkin shades, which gets 10/10 on design cues . . I did not have to get very far with these to give me other senses pumpkin vibes... the bag itself smells like pumpkin (...and a heavy dose of plastic! ). As soon as you crack a stick open, it’s pumpkin allllllll up in your nose! . I chucked one in my mouth, and whilst it took a few chews for the taste to set in... once it did, it was there, and in droves! . The flavour is sooo spot on - how do they do it?!? The wafer works so well with the flavour to - just very complimentary to the spiced pumpkin tones . . I had to eat two sticks to make sure to make sure what I thought... but then it was definitive... I hate pumpkin spice Kit Kat’s!! . It just reminded me of drinking a strongly flavoured pumpkin spice latte the whole time... so it didn’t help that I was chasing it with a Boss coffee . . The reason I’m torn here, is that I think these Kit Kat’s are phenomenal for what they are... but just defs not for me . There’ll be no hoarding these... they’ll all go to sale! . What’s the funkiest Kit Kat taste you’ve had?? See more

16.01.2022 [REESE’S FRANKEN-CUP] Thank goodness for Halloween and the creativity of the Reese’s company - look at these!! What a great idea . . It’s not secret that I like holiday edition candy - Ike number 1: holiday candy ALWAYS tastes better (defs have a read of my Pumpkin review ). . These are not as loaded as the pumpkins, but what they lack in girth, they make up for in colour... when’s the last time you ate GREEN chocolate?? ... . We also need to pay credit to the design team - we all know that the Reese’s cups get those little jagged ridges along the side due to the wrapper - and what better representation of Frankenstein have you seen?? Genius... . Now, I know you all want to know about the taste - is green, it HAS to taste different... ok, so it says it’s just milk chocolate, but surely... it says that it’s just green COLOURED creme, but it must... . My answer: there is defs a different taste to the green! My mind keeps playing tricks on me, telling me that there’s a ‘mint’ taste to it... (wishful thinking with this AND the Cadbury Screme Eggs I think ). . Whilst it may not be mint exactly, there is a different tinge tinge to the taste. I feel like the company has attempted a ‘milk choc’ taste without trying to change the flavour, but there’s no way that you can take ALLLL the brown colour out of the choc and have it taste the same! (I mean, what do I know, I’m sure that we’re fooled more than that on the daily... but still... ). . If you’ve not had many Reese’s cups in the past, you won’t know the difference - but seasoned tasters will be able to sense that extra bite . . Tell me what you think it tastes like See more

15.01.2022 [KIT KAT APPLE PIE] As part of the seasonal US range, we have been gifted: APPLE PIE ! . Is there no limit to what @kitkat can squeeze into one of their chocolates?? And, well... in a yellow pack, it stands out and is so appealing . . Let me get to the review, because I know you’re more interested in knowing about that than you are about me crushing on the packaging! ... . You open the pack, and BAM there’s a cinnamon-y punch to the nostrils (sort of like a love punch... a big smack - but resulting in good feelings only ). . So, in my head, I though - oh yeahhhh it’ll just be a white Kit Kat full of cinnamon derrr... . Nope. A big fat bag of nope! . MUCH BETTER! . At first, the cinnamon didn’t even hit... there was something else... but I couldn’t put my finger on it! Thennnn the cinnamon hit.. THENNN the other flavour came to me: . Apples! Hot apples! Hot apple pieeee! . Guys, this chocolate to me was straight up McDonald’s Hot Apple Pie. No two ways about it - that’s allll I could taste! . If you like McDonald’s Hot Apple Pies, you’ll love this chocolate!! . ....if you hate @mcdonaldsau Hot Apple Pies... then you’ll probably hate this too . Well done @kitkat_us See more

14.01.2022 [CADBURY GINGERBREAD BISCUIT] This is such a Euro flavour, that I still can’t believe it exists in Cadbury form, even though it’s in my hot little hand! (Disclaimer: my hand is in fact not hot. No fever. Defs no Covid . I’m actually sitting outside as I write this, and it’s getting a little bit cold! But perhaps I’m getting off topic now... ). . I love a good snack surprise, and the biggest surprise with this one was... well, it’s existence! The first I heard of this block... when I saw it on a suppliers listing with no photo! It was too good to be true, and it was expensive as hell, so I decided... I’ll limit this to 100 blocks only . . I started researching - and sure enough, I saw the mock-ups! Still didn’t expect it to arrive... . Anyways, clearly it did . . Cracking it open, all I could smell was a traditionally Euro Speculoos smell that you’d normally get from a Ritter Sport Speculoos block, or a Lotus filled milk chocolate... surely it couldn’t be quite like that with this one.... . I won’t make you wait for the verdict: it was EXACTLY like those blocks! It was so amazing, so delicious, so... un-Cadbury! . Was I more surprised and puzzled or just delighted?! I still haven’t answered that for myself, but I’m not questioning it for the moment, and just relishing in its sophisticated deliciousness . . Think: the creamy milk chocolate that we all know from @cadburyaust mixed with big biscuit chunks from plain Lotus biscuits (very northern-Europe-winter vibes! ). . Luckily for all of us, this is an Aussie release, and will (soon...? ) be found in all supermarkets I’m sure! (For those that are impatient can’t find it on our website of course ). . What’s your favourite all-time Cadbury block?? See more

12.01.2022 [SNIFTERS LUMPS] There’s something so appetizing about this bag... perhaps because it looks minty, perhaps because it’s so familiar but it’s not pineapple lumps... perhaps because I’m just keen to know what SNIFTERS are!? . As you’d know (if you’d picked up on my obsession) - I love having a products WHOLE range - I like having ALL the Pop Tart flavours, or EVERY M&M available... Not that it’s been at all possible during covid, so that’s doing my head in . . ANYWAYS - the ...point I was getting to WAS: I always thought pineapple lumps to be a one-off product, nothing else like them! Until I saw these... . . I was like ‘ummm what are those green pineapple lump things?!’... and here we are . . I must admit, I had to Google Snifters... and I also appreciate everyone’s DM to my story - I totally had no idea anyone had even tried them this century . . So, picture a Jaffa, but green... mint, with a dark choc inner, and a chewy mint Centre! The jury is still out on whether these lumps taste anything like the original candy... but here we are - minty lumps! . Long story short - these did have the exact texture of pineapple lumps (albeit stale ones ), but with a mint aftertaste! . At first it’s like ‘yeh... no big deal’. Then... three quarters of a bag later, it’s like ‘ok ok... I guess I kind of DO like them’ . . I’m trying to think of what the minty texture and taste is like, and the closest I can get to, is a mix between a fresh White Knight and a stale Mint Pattie... who knew there’d be a segment in between?! . Who’s a fan of mint?! See more

12.01.2022 [NUTTER BUTTER] two words that make love to my ears... . I have loved these since the first time I ate them! Nay... since I first put my eyes on them! I just knew (you know when you just KNOW?!)... . It was just obvious from the start - it had all the right elements: biscuit, peanut butter, novelty shape!... . Let’s start with the the last of that list, the shape! I mean, how cool is the unshelled peanut shape? I wonder how many people it’s actually just lost on... . It’s not something we see often! Anyhow, I just think it’s cool . Next: the peanut butter filling . Like, this doesn’t really need explaining - peanut butter errrrthang y’all - it’s the best! This, being inside a biscuit, is actually more like a peanut butter flavoured cream... (dunk this in your hot coffee in the morning and thank me later ). . I have a feeling (as of this mornings fresh tasting) that the biscuits themselves have a peanut butter flavour - can anyone either confirm or dispute my new claim?! . Long story short (now that you’ve come this far ): these are tasty! . . (We actually have these - and a STACKKKK of new stacks - all coming fresh on the website next week!) . PS did I mention that these are owned by Nabisco...? Did someone say Oreo...? See more

11.01.2022 [KIT KAT WHITE]... . The real MVP of my snacks yesterday - this white beauty . . I do sometimes go on about this a little - but how great is this packaging?? Perhaps it’s because I’m used to seeing the packaging in red, but the white is so crisp and clean! ... . There’s nothing super fancy or surprising about this chocolate - it’s the classic Kit Kat wafer that we know, covered in a delicious white choc ... I said it wasn’t surprising, defs didn’t say it wasn’t overly delicious - because it is! . I’m caught in a bind here... these are hard to get, and those that buy them, only ever buy them in multiples: 4,6,12! So, do I really let everyone in on the secret of their greatness and risk selling out immediately, or do I keep it to myself, and ride off into the sunset eating them... . Well... . That’s all I’ve got to say... haha! . What’s your fav Kit Kat flavour of all time?! (There’s defs been a few...) See more

11.01.2022 [NESTLE GALAK PRALINE] Shout out to Nestle Europe for making some of the softest, most delicious white chocolate out . Seen here wrapped around hazelnut praline filling... . One of the most popular posts we’ve ever made - and most popular products requested - was the Nestle Galak Speculoos... and with good reason - respect to that chocolate bar (posted further down this feed if you’d like to find it)!. . However, I’m putting myself on record here: THIS IS BETTER ...!!! . I love hazelnut, I love hazelnut cream/creme/praline (call it what you will ) - therefore, this bar is right down my ally!! (Also probably quite a good reason as to why I love all things Ferrero / Kinder / Nutella! Hazelnut...). . If you saw me eating this live, you would have seen first hand just now filled those squares were with the cream, and just how deliciously I was losing my mind . . I think I’ve said all that I need to say about this bar without alerting too many people to its greatness... wont last long enough on our website otherwise . See more

11.01.2022 [POP TARTS PUMPKIN PIE] I love when we get specialized, seasonal, stock - and these pumpkin pie flavoured Pop Tarts hit at the heart of that! . So, Halloween is over I hear you saying... but did you know that Thanks Giving is just around the corner?! . Correct me if I’m wrong, but even though us Aussies associate pumpkin spice with Halloween, it’s really more of a Thanks Giving flavour! (It’s ok, we are noobs after all... we’re not American - we just like to think that we... know everything about American culture ). . Anyhow, those Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Pie cookies went down very well... almost all too well - to the point where I’m not sure if I should be cracking a box of these @poptartsus . Like, my wife is going away for the night today... what happens if a quick snack turns into 16 pumpkin pie Pop Tarts for dinner??? (Given that this is a possibility, and there’s still a strong chance I might bring this on to myself... I’m glad she doesn’t read my posts ). Well... to keep it healthy, I might not bring home the whipped cream, and have it with some @fitlato instead! . . Tell me if you’ve had these before... I really think that the pumpkin flavour would do wonders for these (for example I like cinnamon flavoured ones, and they’re MUCH more subtle than a rich chocolate one which smacks you in the mouth with the sweetness!) . See more

10.01.2022 [KIT KAT CHUNKY MINT] Here’s another one of those killer UK Kit Kat specials - mint... one of my all-time favourite chocolate vices! Haha. . As soon as I saw Kit Kat Chunky, and ‘mint’ on the same wrapper... I was like I’M IN FOR THOSE! . As soon as the wrapper came open (it was a standard ‘D opening wrappers live on camera’ sitch, so, half hand half mouth combo ) - the mint smell was like a punch to the face - immediate!... . The chocolate looked a little dark on first inspection, but I looked at the pack, and nope, defs didn’t say anything about dark! . The mint taste was strong! Funnily, unlike some of the filled mixes they make - the mint wasn’t a filling in this - it was within the chocolate itself! . In fact, the wafer was a normal Kit Kat Chunky standard wafer - but the chocolate was infused with the mint taste! . The taste again was a little dark, but I concluded that it was simply the difference in taste between an Aussie or American Kit Kat, and that of the slightly less ‘sweet’ UK formula! (Someone feel free to Google this and tell me I’m wrong ). . Anyhow, I smashed the bar on the stairs at work, and didn’t even bother taking a picture of it half way through or anything . This will release with the other big release products on Wednesday! See more

09.01.2022 [PASCALL L&P LUMPS] ... this game is getting deeper and deeper... and personally, I’m loving it . . So, in Australia, we all grew up with the Pascall Pineapple Lumps. I get hit up by American snack accounts for these alllll the time. I mean, I’ve never had any complaints about these personally - I love em! . But, recently, my eyes have been opened to the wider world of @pascalllollies Lumps!... . It started with the NZ based Snifter Lumps. These are green, and minty. Based on the Snifter Lollies of times gone by - I never got the chance to try those - but anything mint + chocolate is a-ok by me! . . THEN I was rocked recently by seeing the Perky Nana Lumps! Based on the Chewy Banana flavoured Perky Nana - these are (as you can guess ) BANANA flavoured! They tasted rather chewier than the others, but then that texture was very suited to the texture of the chocolate, so it worked! (Or perhaps I just over-thought it... one or the other ). . NOW, present day, (this exact post!!) - we have Limited Edition Pascall L&P Flavoured Lumps!! . Based on the lemon-y flavoured New Zealand soda (think - refreshing and quenching lemon squash!) - these have a lemon flavour, that somewhat surprised me. . Firstly, they seemed rather soft, and the lemon taste didn’t actually kick in immediately! Initially, I thought that the taste was just weak... but after a couple, I realized that this was a sophisticated move! . Hear me out: if the flavour was immediate and extreme, you wouldn’t be able to eat too many of these. This way - the taste kicks in towards the second half of the first lump, and is constant through the other couple of handfuls you have (That’s standard right...? The pack isn’t that big, and it’s limited edition... it would be rude to not finish it! ). . Anyhow, my vote goes a bit like this: Snifter and L&P equal first, and Perky Nana and Pineapple equal second . . How many have you had? How do you rate them?! See more

08.01.2022 [DORITOS COOL RANCH] There are many different reasons I love particular snacks, and one of the mains reasons I like these is: they’re unassuming! . It’s easy for all types of people to walk in to the store and get excited about snacks they hear about on TV. Fruity Pebbles, Jujy Fruits, Junior Mints, Twinkies... the list goes on! . But, there are a few key products, which don’t look particularly special, or have a big name due to a TV show - but it’s a defining product in know...ing who’s who in the store! . When someone walks in, looks at everything with a slight smile... but then looses their s#!7 at the sight of a single line of Doritos, it makes me go ok, so you’ve played knifey-spoony before . We recently got a limited release of these in Australia (and trust me, we got them - loads of them - greedy! Haha), but it wasn’t the same . They tasted like sour cream and chives, and I couldn’t really stand them after a few bites. . At this point, I got scared to dig into these (if you watched me open them in the stories - you know what I’m talking about...). I thought crap, what happens if I’ve actually forgotten what the US ones taste like, and they end up being just like the Aussie ones?! . Long story short: it’s fine, they didn’t, and I lived... happily snacking on them into the afternoon . . It’s hard to define the exact difference... but these have a more American ‘ranch dressing’ flavour, with a mix of herbs and spices. I don’t think that they’re anything that will ‘blow your sox off’ on a first try - but they’re just a delicious staple! . Tell me what you think the difference is between these and the Aussie ones if you’ve tried them! See more

07.01.2022 [CHEETOS MAC N CHEESE] ...and here it is... the product that I would consider to be the ‘pièce de résistance’ of our upcoming release... . . Stop reading this text... seriously... look at that picture - isn’t it just marvelous?! I can’t stop looking at these packs, they combine two of the most phenomenal things: 1. Cheetos, being one of the best staples of the US snack world, and; 2. Mac N Cheese, the one US product that’s taken us forever to get in the door.... . Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure I could come up with about another 6 things to attach to that list, such as the fact that these Cheetos Mac N Cheese packs are super new, and super hard to track down in the US, let alone Australia . . Have I tried them yet? No... I’m too scared to dig in just yet! I’ve been waiting for a cooking pro to step up and make a masterpiece out of them, instead of me making a mockery of a too shelf product by using a microwave that doesn’t even have a light . (*cough* PING @photobeforeweeat - where you at?! *cough*) . These will go live on Wednesday... but I don’t expect them to be around for much longer than... well, that afternoon . . I’ll keep you posted on the tasting though See more

05.01.2022 [WHITE NUTELLA] Let’s just take a moment to look at this picture, and appreciate this unicorn of a snack... . This blessed jar was sent to me by @thesnackcontroller - and I need to thank his/her/their beautiful soul for creating this thing of beauty, and sending me one . . This jar, with that logo so famous, is found on shelves ALL over the world... but alas, it’s always a dark brown colour... milk chocolate flavour. This one has a white - slightly golden - colour, and e...ven look at the toast in the picture, it has a white spread on it! . Ok, I’m going to be bombarded with messages and DM’s, so let me answer right now - no, this is not a real product, and no, you cannot buy your body’s weight of this product! . @thesnackcontroller DOES have more posts about it on their page though, and if you read carefully through the descriptions, you might even discover the recipe they used . The spread smells like a Kinder dream, and it tastes even better . It does remind me of one of my ALL-TIME favourite Kinder snacks, the White Schoko-Bons It has the familiarity of a Kinder product, with a strong hazelnut influence, and creamy white-milk-chocolate (can that be a thing?! ) . You may have seen the video of me eating this in the story... there wasn’t much that was said... just a lot of heavy breathing on my part . . Ok, starting right this minute though, I’m determined to get @thesnackcontroller to make a special Bruce Super batch of this heavenly delight, and offer it up to the people! . Show your support in the comments below if you’re down for this! See more

05.01.2022 [RITTER SPORT] These guys never fail to impress me with their designs and new flavours (not to mention that TASTE! ). Wouldn’t seem to take much though... the block itself is a square, so they’re already in the mess before they’ve even begun . . @rittersport has a slurry if great flavours, but nothing that looks like this new (neu ) bunch! . We’ve got coconut and wafer, yogurt with honey, and crunchy mango and passionfruit. Without getting into the translations, I grabbed ...the coconut water one last night - it doesn’t matter what language something is in sometimes - I know good food when I see it, especially when it’s this esthetically pleasing . . You know what’s a funny thing? Even though I know that these little squares punch above their weight, I’m always expecting them to let me down for some reason! Well... once more, this block not only proved me wrong - it said, ‘listen, we’re not stuffing around, we mean business!’. . Ok, so the milk chocolate and the wafers are just good, I don’t need to go on and on about that... this is where they step it up though. Each little block of chocolate is actually quite deep, and it gets filled with the flavour all the way up in there! In this case, there was STACKS of the coconut flavour - and it was creamily delicious . . It’s in the way that they execute their flavours that really sets them apart. In my ‘basic Ritter’ favourites for example, the Hazelnut, the actual hazelnuts seems WHOLE! And there’s not just a few... it’s a whole layer of them, at least 1-2 whole hazelnuts per small bite - I mean that’s satisfaction . . There’s been many many many flavours over the years - what’s your favourite? (Mine is still probably the Spekulatius one we had in our hands for a hot second a while back ). See more

05.01.2022 [POP TARTS] ... and not just ANY Pop Tarts, but Frosted Cinnamon Roll flavour (some would consider this to be the Creme de la creme of flavours... I’m just a measly shop keep, who am I to argue this?! ). . Whilst I’m a small player in the game, I AM man enough to admit when I’m wrong... and I was personally wrong about Pop Tarts... . For years I avoided them. Not for a particular reason. Not because I had cause. Simply because I THOUGHT they’d be no good....... . Boy did I get that wrong . Luckily for my tastebuds, I have enough humility to look back every now and again, and give somethings a second shot... phew . I actually started with the cinnamon flavours pretzel pop tarts - wow . . Next I had to jump straight to these... EVERYONE wanted them - was it fair to deny myself the pleasure.... I mean - it’s my JOB to taste things right?! . I’m a huge fan of all the cinnamon-y flavours, especially when teamed up with a special ice cream flavour (insert caramelised white choc wafer @fitlato here... ). . I’m only at the start of this journey though... about 3 flavours down, and looking forward to the array of others to go ! . Anyone recommend which flavour I should go to next?? . Also, I will NEVER figure out how these frosted sugary tops taste so soft, yet don’t melt ALL over the insides of your toaster! See more

05.01.2022 [JAPANESE CHEETOS] No, I can’t read the writing. No, I don’t know what it says. No, they weren’t quite as described. Read on to find out what I thought... . I just love foreign snacks... America, Europe, New Zealand, Japan! Not because they’re always so much better, but because there’s an aura of the ‘unknown’! . These were gifted to me by @thesnackcontroller (because the Controller is the bomb!). So, in saying that - it also means that these aren’t on the website, and I do...n’t have them for sale So, don’t be offended if I don’t keep responding to your msgs of ‘I can’t find a them on your website... blah blah’ . The Controller described these to me as ‘KFC Zinger flavour’. I took one single look at the packet, and I was like SOLDDDDD! . However, as soon as I opened the pack, a huge smell came out... and it was glorious! It didn’t smell like Zinger though... but I couldn’t pin point exactly what it was! . I tasted a few, and the spice came through after about 2-3, but still the exact taste/smell wasn’t coming to me... all of a sudden it hit me... . Mi Goreng!!! The flavour sachets of mi goreng noodles, that was IT!! . From that point on, I was only more and more hooked on these... till I realised they were long gone, and I needed to find me a Japanese supplier... hahaha! . If you can get your hands on these, do yourself a favour, and absolutely get them!! . A new favourite of mine, and going straight to the tops of the Cheeto charts (next to American flamin hot, and chipotle flamin hot... ) . What’s your favourite Cheeto of all time?! See more

03.01.2022 [BOSS VANILLA LATTE] If you’ve been watching my stories for a while now, you probably know that I have a Boss like... every afternoon (ok, ok... if you’ve EVER seen ANY of my stories, you’ve probably seen me holding a Boss ). . This kid is as loyal to the Boss can as loyal as a boss can. (Pardon the lame jokes... it’s 2.30am, and it’s all I’ve got ). Seriously though, @suntorybosscoffeeanz needs to step up and start sponsoring me (*cough cough* ). . Soooooo - you ...can imagine my excitement when I heard about the new flavour coming through . . Prior to having one of these, I was never really into iced coffee, and I had most definitively never had it out of a can ! I gave it a shot one day (mind the pun ), and I was instantly hooked! It didn’t have the super sugary taste of most iced coffees, and in fact, it’s sugar free, and practically calorie free too! (Fitness fam, listen up!) . The long black is one that I’ll drink when I don’t have access to the latte, but that latter is defs a preference (just not as bitter, and smoother for me!). . So, the vanilla was put in my hands... what was I to do?? Chill it and smash it with a snack ofcourse . Having long been a fan of the latte version, there was a lot at stake here... . The vanilla actually has slightly more calories than the latte, and I was expecting it to be sweeter. It surprised me here, as it actually tasted milder! The taste wasn’t as sweet at all, but the vanilla was definitely present on the back end! . Overall, I would say that it comes close to the latte for me... but for now, whilst this is close second, I think I still hold the latte in number 1 position! . This isn’t releasing till October some time, but you can bet your sweet behind that I twisted the reps arm into a few sneaky cans (for those desperate fiends like me) to be found on the website (no one tell the company though, because we’ll all get in trouble . For real though...). . Let me know which one is your fav and why! See more

03.01.2022 [PERKY NANA] Choices choices... if you know me, then you’d know that I like trying to get ALL the snacks that belong to a particular range . Do you prefer having all of the choices, or are you too indecisive with those kinds of scenarios? . Anyhow, this month was a good one for me, and everyone who likes the original Perky Nana! On the one hand, we FINALLY got our hands on the Perky Nana Lumps, and then... Cadbury released a Perky Nana block for distribution in AUSTRA...LIA! Whaaaaat?! Can you do that with the Caramilk Hokey Pokey now plz @cadburyaust ? Ok, that’s all my requests for today . . For those that have never had a Perky Nana before, let me squash some myths - it is NOT an old-school hard-marshmallow banana lollie from those old mix bags... it’s chewy/squishy/stretchy... . The easiest thing to relate it to is Pineapple Lumps . Think about how they get chewy... well, THESE lumps are EXACTLY that, but with a fake banana taste instead of the fake pineapple taste . . Note... no one here is dissing the ‘fake’ taste... it’s a good one (yes, there are lovers of many fake tastes - fake cherry anyone?! Exactly... I knew you were there ). . The block is one I was quite keen for - Cadbury has amazing milk choc, and the filling on this one is mega good! (Big clap for Cadbury Aus from the get-go here ). . Whilst the bar and the lumps are very similar to each other (the lumps have the SLIGHTEST bit more chocolate, given that they’re cut and have choc on the ends ) - but the block changes it up - the banana to chocolate ratio is reversed! Whilst the lumps and bar have stacks of pineapple with a bit of choc, the block is stacks of choc with less banana. . Honestly, I think I was really hankering for some choc this arvo, so it came out on top this time . Have you had the chance to try them all? Which one came out on top for you...? See more

03.01.2022 [CRISPY KINDER SCHOKO-BONS] It’s a formula that can never fail. The big-ups worked hard to get it right, and, it may have been hard in the beginning, but once they got it - it couldn’t fail! For common folk like you and me, it contains only one ingredient: KINDER! . Now, tell me I’m wrong!?!? . I love Schoko-bons! That’s German for... Choco-bons! (come for the snacks, stay for the language classes ).... . I love them in all their forms! We actually have Milk Chocolate ones here locally - so, you should start by going down to your local supermarket and buying a pack of those (@colessupermarkets @woolworths_au - who’s going to sponsor this post first?? ). . Here, they’re milk chocolate on the outside, and a white Kinder filling with little hazelnut specs on the inside... seriously, DROOL!!! . Recently (scroll down a little on my feed ), I got my hands on the rare WHITE Schoko-Bons from Germany... . These were white choc on the outside, with the white Kinder filling with hazelnut pieces . . Now though, we have the CRISPY! Many say that these are the best (honestly... how do I even separate and rank them?? No idea where to start! ). Interestingly, these are totally different to the other two: these have a crispy Kinder shell (think, Kinder Hippo, think Kinder Card, think Kinder Krocao, think Naked-Bueno!), covered in delicious chocolatey-biscuit-crumbs, FILLED WITH a white-choc and milk-choc Kinder filling (think Hippo, think Bueno, think Nutella!). . Is it possible to describe a Kinder product by only referring to other Kinder products...? Well, I did... shoot me (also, if you’re NOT into Kinder products, just unfollow this page... we probs wouldn’t get along ) . These are from the Middle East, and I know you can also get them in India - but no idea where else?! They’re rarely found (the white ones are only ever special releases in Europe ). You can see by the imagery also that these packs were part of a Ramadan special release . . I know what I said above, but that was an old review, by the old me. Current, more seasoned me made a controversial call on camera: Crispy Schoko-Bons are the BEST Schoko-bons. Yep - BEST! It’s said now See more

02.01.2022 [CARAMEL COCONUT OREO] Woop woop put your hands up for that new-new Oreo . Some @Oreo flavours I love, some not so much (very very few I dislike... Oreo Australia... this would be your department... ) - one thing is for sure though, they always NAIL a flavour! And that in itself is a true experience every time . . One thing I just realized though... is ‘caramel coconut’ a famous American cake that I’m completely new to? Like, is this the American Lamington - or just a... random cake flavour...? If it’s common... I’m completely missed this side to their food scene . . The pack itself smells amazing (as always...) - the smell gives me real ‘dulche de leche’ vibes . The caramel is there - it’s most definitively there . Then there’s the coconut... I find that the coconut came through two fold. . Now, as some that follow the stories might know, this was my afternoon driving snack, so I could be completely wrong on this - butttt: the... BISCUIT itself has coconut pieces?! I should probably Google this... but I’m almost certain that the biscuit had some light coloured specs through it... . The cream also, not only did it have a coconut flavour coming through, it did have little bits of coconut throughout - I find that this always give the ‘coconut’ flavour authenticity . . Anyhow - these were good (and the more that I look at that picture, the more I want to dig into that moist-looking caramel-coconuty chocolate cake ). . What’s your all-time favourite a Oreo? There’s a lot of good ones I’ve tried, but I still feel like Mint was one of that first that REALLY opened my eyes like... See more

01.01.2022 [RITTER SPORT] Winter Editionnnnn ! European Winter that is... and I’ll take it, because it fuses Christmas flavours that are my all time fav! . Let’s start in the logical spot... Spiced Biscuit . Call it Lotus, call it spekuloos, call it spekulatius, call it Danish cookie... give it any name you like, I think we’re on the same page... but I’m finding it hard to read now because I’ve drooled all over my phone ! Let’s just say that if you’ve never before tried thi...s Ritter Sport Winter Edition in one for or another, you’re missing out... . The Caramelized Almond is also a great classic - instead of giving it the usual Ritter Sport Almond treatment - being whole regular almonds, these babies are like honey glazed almonds, smashed into tiny pieces and then sprinkled throughout the chocolate! . The truly interesting piece to this trio is actually the Coconut Macaroon - it’s the newbie . Ashamedly, I haven’t tried this just yet (give me a break - it’s been here less than a week, and there’s been like a bajillion new chocolates to get to ), but I’m already excited about it! What, with the introduction of many chocolate coconut flavours in the Euro ranges over summer (think Duplo Coconut!), I can only imagine that this is the bomb too... just look at that thiccc filling . . All due to release on Wednesday - set your clocks, these won’t last long! . What’s your favourite all-time @rittersport chocolate? I think mine is still the German Edition Spekulatius I had last winter (well, that’s the same as spiced biscuit this time around ). See more
