Hula Hoops Smoky Bacon Flavour (Morrisons) By @SpectreUK

I haven't seen a new flavour of Hula Hoops for a long time. I love KP Snacks BBQ Hula Hoops flavour, and their regular flavours such as Ready Salted, Salt & Vinegar and also Cheese & Onion. There are quite a few Smoky Bacon flavoured crisps out there, so are these Hula Hoops Smoky Bacon Flavour going to be a contender in an already smoky bacon flavour full market?

On opening the packet there was a sweet and smoky bacon aroma from the Hula Hoops inside. On first crunchy taste these slightly orange coloured Hula Hoops Smoky Bacon Flavour crisps had a lip smacking sweet and slightly spicy, smoky bacon flavour. Very moreish indeed, I certainly liked these new Hula Hoops flavour and would definitely have them in again.

Information on the packet: The 24g bag contained 119 calories, with 5.8g of fat, less than 0.5g of sugars, and 0.36g of salt. Please see photograph for the ingredients.

Cadbury Twirl White Dipped (Texaco) By @cinabar

Years ago, I think it was the 2000s, an iconic chocolate bar appeared for a short time: the Snow Flake. It was a white chocolate flake, dipped in milk chocolate to hold it together. I remember having an Easter egg that came with one of those bars and absolutely loving it. There hasn’t been anything similar, until now.

Here we have Twirl White Dipped. This time, it’s the other way round: the flake inside is milk chocolate and the coating is white chocolate. I was still really excited to give it a try. I spotted it at our local petrol station, and as is tradition when we top up the fuel, we buy a chocolate treat, so this was absolutely perfect.

Once home, I opened the wrapper and found two white chocolate-coated bars. Inside, the flakes were the familiar milk chocolate. I gave it a try and loved the flavour. The usual Cadbury chocolate shone through, but the white coating made it creamier and even sweeter. It was a lovely combination. I have a sweet tooth, so I enjoyed every bite.

The only downside is that it’s labelled as a Limited Edition, which is such a shame. I can see this becoming legendary, just like the Snow Flake did. Let’s hope it stays around a bit longer.

Creme Egg Fudge (Fudge Town) By @Cinabar

We go to a lot of Comic Cons with work, and I try not to spend too much, but I am easily distracted by the sweet stands. One thing I can’t resist is unusual flavours, and the lovely people at the Fudge Town stand never disappoint. I wandered over to their stall and really couldn’t choose between Creme Egg and Oreo, but I ended up settling on this one and a bar of Battenberg for the stall holder who was behind us.

This bar is based on the Creme Egg and has a cute pattern with chocolate fudge sandwiching a creme fondant fudge filling. It did look pretty. The bars are quite hefty, so I cut myself a chunk and gave it a try. The fudge has a lovely texture, firm but soft. The flavour is firstly chocolate, followed by that distinctive sweet, sugary Creme Egg fondant taste. It was absolutely spot on and worked really well. Sure, the flavours are novel, but they are made really well and match exactly what they are supposed to taste like.

The stall holder who had the Battenberg let me try some, and that was yummy too, even down to having the squares in the pattern. I’ve made a mental note to treat myself next time I see the Fudge Town stall and to make sure I get that Oreo one.

Gu Cake Pots! Victoria Sponge [@NLi10]

 Gu make loads of nice deserts - and they put them all in little glass pots so they can't escape and you can't tell just how small they are.  We forgive them though - they are really nice!

And now - at a reduced price of £2.50 there are cake pots.

I chose Victoria Sponge

The cut away here is nice and clean but I forgot to take a pic of when I ate mine.  There was a lot more topping than sponge, but the highlight was the raspberry beneath

Overall though at £1.25 per serving even at the sale price you could have a whole Victoria Sponge to yourself. I think that's a better option, although maybe not as calorie controlled.

Luminous Nights Beer From 71 Brewing (Morrisons) By @SpectreUK

I love the moon. I like to see it on clear evenings and miss it on cloudy nights. I was born in July which makes me a Moonchild. So, you can see the appeal of the front of this can with the man sitting on the crescent moon.

At 7.4% in volume, Luminous Nights should give me some illumination. This beer was produced by 71 Brewing, in Dundee. The can states that it is a hazy beer with tropical and citrus hops.

On opening the can there was a lovely tropical citrus hop aroma. On pouring, this hazy golden ale had a rather excitable head. On first taste, Luminous Nights was big on crispy tropical and citrus hops from the start. There was a refreshing juiciness to this hazy beer, with sweet malted barley into the aftertaste. This was a lovely luminous beer on any evening.
