I spotted this pretty gold packet of Honeycomb Bites in Lidl, in their specials area. The honeycomb is covered in Belgium chocolate and has the addition of popping candy. I love popping candy, it reminds me of my childhood, even though I know it is just a bit fun. The bag also states that this product has been made in small batches in Harrogate which gave it a nice more special feel.
Inside the bag the pieces are a mix of sizes, some very small a few that are huge! I started on a medium piece and, unfortunately, found it rather hard to bite into. The Belgium chocolate is nice and thick, but the cinder toffee underneath was rather solid and difficult to get my teeth into, it was distracting and put me off the whole thing. It was so much tougher than a Crunchie bar. Even the smaller pieces were difficult to tuck into. I also realised I hadn’t noticed any effect from the popping candy whatsoever, it was completely lost. I even ended up picked a crystal off to test it and that was the first time I noticed the crackle, so it was just not very noticeable as part of the whole product.
As nice as this bag of Popping Candy Belgium Chocolate Coated Honeycomb Bites sounds and as exciting as the flavour should have been it wasn’t for me. I don’t wan’t my sugary treat to be that hard to bite into, it totally put me off.
