Carrot Cake Hot Chocolate (Whittard) By @Cinabar

Carrot Cake Hot Chocolate (Whittard)

This is a new limited edition from Whittard, presumably released for the Easter season. Easter means bunnies, bunnies eat carrots, carrots become carrot cake… I might be overthinking that one. Either way, it is a new hot chocolate and I am always up for trying one.

The drink has a white chocolate base, and the powder itself is pale in colour. When I tried the blueberry version from Whittard, it looked white but turned lilac once hot milk was added. Sadly, no such magic here. The colour stayed the same when mixed, but the aroma more than made up for it, with plenty of warm, inviting spices.

It mixed easily into hot milk, and the first sip was a winner. The flavour genuinely captures carrot cake, with a smooth, comforting sweetness. The cinnamon really stands out, which I personally love, blending nicely with the white chocolate base.

I will admit to a strong cinnamon bias, as mentioned before, but this really was lovely. Rich, cosy, and exactly what you want in a mug at this time of year.

Absolutely delicious. Happy Easter.

Seabrook Roast Chicken Crisps (Home Bargains) By @Cinabar

Seabrook Roast Chicken Crisps

I spotted these in Home Bargains on a display stand, marked as a limited edition, and they went straight into my basket. Chicken crisps are easily my favourite flavour, and I have always had a soft spot for Seabrook, so this felt like a safe bet.

These are crinkle cut, which is always a win. The ridges really hold onto the seasoning, so you get a proper hit of flavour in every bite. The crisps look quite thick, but the texture is still satisfyingly light. That matters more than you would think. There is a trend of thicker, harder crisps being treated as premium, but for me, a lighter crunch is far more enjoyable.

Flavour wise, these absolutely deliver. It is a proper, full-on roast chicken taste. Rich, savoury and packed with that meaty depth you want. There is also a herby note running through them that leans into a stuffing-like flavour, which really sells the whole roast dinner idea.

I will admit I am biased when it comes to chicken crisps, but these are genuinely excellent. The only downside is right there on the packaging. Limited edition. Why? These deserve a permanent spot on the shelf.

Oreo Cadbury Crème Egg biscuits (Ocado) By @SpectreUK

Oreo Cadbury Crème Egg biscuits

I have to admit that I hadn't tried Oreo biscuits until a year or so ago. I've always preferred Jam and Creams myself. I have, however, liked most of the Oreo biscuit flavours I have tried.

These new limited edition Oreo Cadbury Crème Egg biscuits smelt amazing on opening the packet. They smelt of sweet gooey Cadbury Creme Egg fondant and chocolate Oreo biscuit.

As you can see from the photographs, these Oreo Cadbury Crème Egg biscuits twisted off with the yolk on one side, and the white on the other. Both have slightly different flavours of sweetness, with the yolk being sweeter. Both are backed up by the traditional chocolate Oreo biscuit base. These were fantastic, it seems a shame they are limited edition.
