Love Heart Squashies (Service Station) By @Cinabar

We all know and love Love Hearts sweets, so spotting these fab large Squashies versions definitely caught my eye. Each piece still comes stamped with a little word or picture, which keeps that classic charm. Inside the bag you get six different flavours to try.

Is it just me, or does the picture on the bag make the white sweet in the top right look pale blue?

Also, a small gripe. The ingredients are printed in white on a pale background, which is not exactly the easiest to read when you are standing in a service station with dodgy lighting.

Moving on to the sweets themselves. Each one is nicely chewy with a soft texture that slowly dissolves as you keep nibbling. There is a proper little flavour burst from each colour too. Here is how they stack up.

• Green - 
Lime. Quite citrusy and fairly strong. A fresh, zingy taste that wakes your taste buds up.
• White
 - Pineapple. Soft and fruity. Definitely pineapple, but on the delicate side.
• Dark red - 
Blackcurrant. So yummy. Very fruity and nicely strong. We absolutely need more blackcurrant sweets in the world.
• Yellow - Lemon. 
Sweet and fruity lemon. Thankfully more pleasant and mellow rather than sharp.
• Orange
 - Orange. Mellow and sweet with a nice orange flavour that is easy to enjoy.
• Pink - Cherry. 
Not overly cherry, but there is a nice acidic burst of fruity flavour that keeps things interesting.

I definitely preferred the stronger flavours. Honestly, I would happily demolish a whole bag of just the blackcurrant ones.

Gnaw - Sea-salt & Caramel Hot Chocolate on a stick [@Nli10]

 Even though it's been a little warmer this week its still firmly hot chocolate weather, and a good excuse to use the ones we've accumulated up.

This one was a little more interesting with layers and ingredients inside - and it's another vegan one so perfect for my oat milk.

Sea-salt & caramel are not really my ideal choices, but in a drink it sounds nice

Cosy evening please!

Stick & blob

Melted easy enough

Decent colours & aromas!

Makes a nice chocolate - maybe for a bigger mug, and maybe hotter than I'd have it in my lovely stone mug.

Not too salty and not too sweet from the caramel either - a nice surprise and great to sit and watch the curling with.

McVitie's Summer Collection Pineapple & Coconut (Iceland) By @SpectreUK

It's still pretty cold, dark and damp outside. We've seen plenty of snacks for Easter time, but these McVitie's Cake Bars are the first limited edition summer products we've found on the shelves.

There is Strawberries and Cream Flavour available, which we'll blog about soon. First I wanted to try these McVitie's Summer Collection Pineapple & Coconut Flavour Cake Bars. These cake bars are milk chocolate coated with a layer of pineapple and coconut flavoured cream.

On opening the packet there were five individually wrapped cake bars inside. On opening the first cake bar wrapper, there was an aroma of pineapple and coconut to the milk chocolate coated cake bar inside.

This McVitie's Summer Collection Pineapple & Coconut Flavour Cake Bar was soft to bite into and had a creamy flavour of pineapple and coconut, with milk chocolate to finish. It was really gorgeous, and perfect for a lunchbox snack.

Information on the packet; Each cake bar has 95 calories, with 4.5g of fat, 9.3g of sugar and 0.11g of salt. Please see photograph for the ingredients.

Lindt Gold Bunny with Crispy Biscuit (Tesco) By @Cinabar

Lindt bunnies really are a sure sign that Easter is on its way. We are lucky enough to have a Lindt store not too far away, and the pick and mix is dangerously tempting. However, this bunny was actually spotted in a Tesco Express, sitting alongside the regular milk chocolate Lindt Gold Bunny and the dark chocolate version.

This new Lindt Gold Bunny with Crispy Biscuit is easy to distinguish thanks to its orange ribbon and bow, a handy visual cue that you are getting something a bit different.

Inside the wrapper, the bunny looks very similar to the classic milk chocolate version. The shell is made from thick milk chocolate and takes a bit of effort to break into, which always feels oddly satisfying.

Taste wise, it is that signature super creamy Lindt milk chocolate you would expect, but with crunchy biscuit pieces running through it. The biscuit adds a pleasant texture contrast and a touch of extra sweetness that works well with the smooth chocolate.

All in, this is a lovely twist on the classic Lindt bunny. Realistically I probably should have waited until Easter to open it, but there was no chance I was leaving it sitting there unopened.

Muller Rhubarb Crumble (Iceland) By @Cinabar

Get on your baggy jeans and combat boots, the 90s are back in fashion. Take That are on tour and Muller have re-released their classic 1990s flavour Rhubarb Crumble yoghurt. I remember having this back then and thinking the corner style yoghurts were super cool. Having one of these in a school lunch box was really something to look forward to.

This is one of their classic corner yoghurt flavours, with the crumble on one side and the yoghurt with rhubarb compote on the other. I still often buy corner yoghurts, so I had to pick these up when I saw them.

I tried one during a work from home lunch, so not quite getting the canteen kudos it deserved, but still the perfect time to give it a go. Regular readers will know I do like a mix of textures, so corner yoghurts will always be a favourite.

I opened it up and could see the crumble on one side and the yoghurt on the other. I folded in the crumble and gave it a gentle stir, which is when the rhubarb started to show a pinker tinge.

The taste was lovely. The rhubarb is a soft flavour and is not too sharp. There is plenty of creaminess from the yoghurt and vanilla, making it a bit like a custard. And of course there is the lovely crunch of the biscuit.

What a fab dessert. I cannot wait to take one of the others to work, old school, in my lunch box.

I love a bit of nostalgia.
