Influencer Bait at Home! Tesco Finest Pistachio & Raspberry Tarts [@NLi10]

 Sometimes you know food is meant to be admired and photographed rather than eaten - like this beautiful Tesco Finest Pistachio & Raspberry Tart.

Rather than being in a cafe and stretching towards the £5 mark - these are in Tesco's!

...and £2.66 in the last minute buys section. What a result!

While the packaging and design is luxury there is actually a lot going on here too - and there are layers within the tart.  I'd have sprinkled some pistachio on top too, but as it stands this is an awesome flavour punch.  Very reminiscent of the Patisserie Valerie high-st high-end café chain.

It truly is café grade at home, and made a lovely change from the basic snacks and puddings.  As a treat mind - I don't think you could sit and eat through one a day.

I look forwards to seeing what else is in the summer treats range.

We - book people - went to Hay-On-Wye - city of books - and didn't buy any books!  In our defence it was day 0 of our holiday and there were lots of potential targets, but we resisted.  What I couldn't resist was this big bar of Tony's Chocolonely - specifically the White Raspberry Popping Candy version.

The chocolate looks like this

It's got lots of info about how it's even better than FairTrade (which was revolutionary at the time but now we can do even better!)

And here is a better pic of the Welsh view

That's our hotel to the left! I like getting good deals that come with good views.

And Tony's provides both! It's a pain to share, and it was a little hard to get the best from it without a fridge to store it  - but we kept half to take home and tried both ways.

And it's great - fruity (with seeds) and the popping candy adds a little texture too.  The chocolate is milky and smooth - I'd like to try a real choc flavour from Tony to see how good the dark gets - but this is great quality.

Overall a big fat luxurious chocolate bar - great for presents and great to sneakily pick up when out at the Oxfam book-shop.
