McVitie’s Summer Collection Strawberries and Cream Flavour (Iceland) By @Cinabar

I spotted these new Strawberries and Cream cake bars from McVitie’s in Iceland and, as a sucker for anything that screams summer, they were straight into the basket. Strawberries and cream is such a classic warm weather flavour, it is hard to resist.

The packaging is bright, bold and almost a bit punk in its colour scheme, so they definitely stand out on the shelf. Inside, the bars are individually wrapped, which makes them perfect for lunch boxes, desk drawers or a quick grab and go treat.

As soon as I opened the first one, I was hit with a lovely strong scent of strawberry and chocolate. Always a good sign. The cake itself is a soft vanilla sponge, topped with a pretty pink strawberry flavoured creme and finished with a layer of milk chocolate.

Flavour wise, they are very sweet and properly fruity. They actually reminded me of those strawberry cream chocolates you get in the big tins at Christmas. There is a solid chocolate hit from the coating too, so it does not feel like just a fruity sponge bar. It is definitely more indulgent than that.

They are genuinely yummy, the only downside being that they disappear in about two bites. Still, as a little summery treat, they are spot on. If you love that strawberries and cream combination, these are well worth picking up while they are around.
