Nestle Aero White Choc Bubbly Dessert (Asda)

White chocolate mousse is a fantastic concept, and it wasn’t too long ago I was frustrated that I couldn’t find any in the shops anymore. Milky Bar desserts have been available for some time now, and are really nice, but aren’t a mousse as such.
Don’t worry though, this is the real deal. Sweet, fluffy and creamy white chocolate mousse, but rippled with a darker chocolate sauce. The rippling idea is genius, and it does make the pudding look very appetising and pretty in the pot. There is a good taste of white chocolate too, which is lovely and light without being over rich.
I guess it is a clever way to represent Aero, as the fact that it is a mousse means you really can feel the bubbles melt!

Seabrook Tomato Ketchup Crinkle Cut Potato Crisps (Asda)

This isn’t a new product, but it is one I haven’t tried before. I was drawn to it after reminiscing about Walkers Tomato Ketchup flavour crisps, and I realised that I hadn’t seen that flavour for ages. Looking around the shelves in a local supermarket I found these, and thought that they looked like they would be worth trying.
These are a crinkle cut crisp with a nice crunch. There is a good depth of flavour, with a lovely strong tomato taste with a hint of paprika and onion. They are not as sweet as I remember the Walkers ones to be, but they do have a lovely zingy taste. Well worth trying if you are missing the other variety.

Banana Creamy Yogurt with Mini Smarties (Asda)

This is a little bit like the Mini Eggs dessert I told you about last month, i.e. there is a section of yoghurt and a container with the chocolate that you tip in to complete the dessert.
This particular variety though doesn’t have a liquid chocolate section, it has a pot of banana yoghurt with mini Smarties to tip in. The Smarties compartment is only about two thirds full which seems like a disappointing portion, but once they are tipped in it seems an acceptable amount.
The yoghurt has a creamy banana flavour and is silky smooth without any bits. Once the Smarties are in, they bleed there coloured shells into the white yoghurt and leave a colour trail. As the Smarties are all natural the colour trails are at least not artificial. The dessert itself is very sweet as it combines rich banana and chocolate, but my sweet tooth enjoyed it very much. For those of you who aren’t into banana flavoured products, it is also available with vanilla or strawberry yoghurt. I will update you when I have tried those too!

Red Sky West Country Bacon and Cream Cheese Crisps (Waitrose)

There seems to be an increasing number of new crisps on the market, and an increasing number of 'all natural' products. This product fits into both those categories, as it has no artificial flavourings. However, as these are a completely natural flavoured bacon crisps I feel I should point out that the bacon comes from actual animal source and therefore these are not vegetarian. After discovering that several of the meat flavoured pot noodles were vegetarian it does now come as a surprise discovering products that are and aren't vegetarian.
The crisps themselves are thick cut and have a good crunch. They have a slight greasiness though, not as much as a regular Walkers crisp, but not as crisp as a Kettle Chip. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavour, although the cream cheese is just an undertone and the salty bacon flavour sits in the frame. I love the concept of an all natural product, and the flavour really benefits from the natural ingredients. I'm looking forward to trying the other products in the range.

Milka White and Rice (Germany)

Of all the fabulous Milka bars sent to me, this was the biggest! It isn’t just a longer bar compared to that of a standard Milka bar, the chocolate is also much thicker and the pieces are quite chunky. It is in fact a huge bar, and each chunk takes quite a hearty bite.
When I first tucked in I was expecting the rice to be like that in a rice crispy breakfast cereal, but this contained puffed rice like that in sugar puffs. Actually the word ‘contained’ doesn’t do this bar justice, it is packed with puffed rice! The chocolate itself is a creamy and sweet white chocolate base. It is of a really good quality with a lot of tone within the flavour. The rice breaks up the chocolate nicely, and as the grains are so plentiful the chocolate bar feels like an amazing naughty treat, and a pleasure to eat.
