Jammie Dodgers Muffins (Co-Op) By @Cinabar

These fine looking Jammie Dodgers Muffins caught my eye when I was leaving the Co-Op, I hadn’t spotted them on the way in. I stared at the box and realised that I had to re-queue to purchase a box. I’m totally blaming this blog for my actions. The Jammie Dodgers Muffins looked so pretty on the shelves in their red sleeves all emblazoned with the Jammie Dodgers logo and even the trademark heart on top. They get full marks for packaging and presentation and if I’m honest it didn’t take much to sway me into a purchase.

So what we have here is a vanilla muffin with a raspberry jam filling which when I stopped to think about it (after I got home) wasn’t nearly as exciting as I had hoped. I’ve eaten many vanilla and raspberry muffins over the years. So the positives of this cake are that there was lots of yummy sweet jam in the centre and that it had a good flavour. The sponge was tasty and moist and very enjoyable to eat. The Jammie Dodgers Muffins also looked cute and were appealing. The negatives were that the heart on top did’t have any jam flavour, the icing was a vanilla dollop and not biscuit flavoured and all the Jammie Dodgers elements were in look only, they didn’t influence the taste. Still a darn nice muffin though, even though I wouldn’t have a bought a vanilla and raspberry muffin without the themed packaging. I think they saw me coming.
