Sainsbury's Custard Cream Twists - Banoffee Version [@NLi10]

 The humble custard cream often gets a few variations.  At its simplest it's two biscuits with some vanilla gunk in between. At its most complicated and deluxe it's a Viennese Whirl.

Here we see Sainsbury's trying a few new things - apparently there are 4 varieties - but here we have the Banoffee.


Opening it they smell like the worrying trend of Biscoff Everything.


But - it says it's toffee and banana...


And the first taste is totally the mysterious extinct banana flavour - and it works well.  The toffee part is there and does come through.  In fact after a couple of biscuits the banana side is less noticable and it tastes like a more biscuity proposition.

I wasn't sure these would be that good - but they work - and i'm interested in what's to come.
