Coffee
& walnut cake
After having this with ‘send soon’ last time, I was glad
to try it again because it was so yummy. At 149 calories per punnet as well, it
doesn’t disappoint. In fact, I was in such a hurry to consume the coffee and
walnut cake, you’ll have to wait until next time to see what it looks like! I
always try each element on its own, before mixing together to enjoy the overall
taste. My favourite bit was the chocolate coated coffee beans, which was, as
you’d expect, the strongest flavour. Mixing those with the sponge pieces and
walnuts, it really did taste like a piece of coffee and walnut cake – if I
closed my eyes, obviously. The raisins were a lovely addition and added a
different texture. Hot Cross Yum has always been one of my favourites, so in
comparison, this had a lot to live up to – but I think I may have found my new
favourite.
LOVE
Salt
& vinegar nut selection
As soon as I opened the punnet, the smell was really
overpowering – like the smell of a fish & chip shop, or strong smell you’d
get when on a seafront. With that in mind, I was expecting the flavour to be as
big, but it wasn’t. I love a really salty and sharp vinegar taste like your
average packet of crisps. I’m also a big fan of flavoured nuts – whether it be
chilli, honey or salt and vinegar – so I guess I was expecting big things. The
portion size was spot-on though and was just enough to keep my snack cravings
at bay for a little while – usually if a bag of nuts (or any other snack for
that matter) is open, I could easily wolf my way through the lot.

Fruity
mango chutney
Another of the snacks I was yet to try and being a fan of
the dippers, I was looking forward to it. I don’t like Indian as I’ve mentioned
a couple of times before, but I love mango chutney, I think because it’s so
sweet. The black pepper dippers were good, but the dip was too spicy for my
liking. When I looked at the ingredients, there were a number of seeds I’d
never heard of, so I assume they were what flavoured the chutney and made it
taste more like curry. If you like Indian food, you’d love this and it’d make a
great starter or pre-meal nibble, but I didn’t like it at all.
BIN
Toffee
apple
One of my downfalls is sweet snacks; I could honestly eat
an entire packet of biscuits in one sitting if push came to shove. And I have
always loved sweets. Toffee apple has become the perfect substitute for when
I’m craving something sugary and at 68 calories a punnet, it doesn’t seem so
bad. Toffee apple is slices of dried granny smith with a toffee sauce dip and
is just amazing. The annoying thing about it is, once it’s gone, it’s gone – I
could totally demolish another couple of punnets, but then I have no self control.
I’ve had toffee apple so many times now, and I’ve loved it since the first one.
