8 Ultimate Chocolate Orange Teacakes (Marks and Spencer) By @Cinabar

I have to say that if you name your product with the word ‘ultimate’ in the title, you have to accept that there are going to be quite a lot of expectations. Still, Marks and Spencers have called these the Ultimate Chocolate Orange Teacakes.

 

To start with, I have to say that I liked the fact that all of the packaging is recyclable. The outer packet is paper-based, and the inner tray is clear plastic. I put both in the recycling once we were done. That is in line with these being ‘ultimate’.

Inside the pack are eight small to medium (should something labelled ‘ultimate’ be bigger?) teacakes. Two were leaking a little marshmallow, again not very ‘ultimate’ but not a big problem.

I gave one a try, and the chocolate was a lovely, rich flavour; the base was firm but not crunchy; and the mallow was fluffy and super soft. That all met the ‘ultimate’ description. The orange flavour was a bit mild for my taste; it was there, but it was far more subtle than I had expected. They were still super tasty, but not what I would call an ‘ultimate’ orange taste. Still good though, and I’d certainly buy these Ultimate Chocolate Orange Teacakes again.
