The Goodies

Mallow Puffs : Salted Caramel Mallow Bar

“Super-puffy vegan salted caramel mallow bar dunked in Belgian dark chocolate”

How cute does this packaging look? or is it just me?

This sounded very very nice, as I love salted caramel 🙂 so I couldn’t wait to unwrap and take a bite.

This tasted really good, my only issue was I couldn’t really tasted the salted caramel as the Belgian chocolate over powered it….but this was MEGA nice.

TREK POWER Millionaire Shortbread

“each bar is covered in a natural chocolate alternative, 15g protein and is 100% plant based ingredients”

I love a nice millionaire shortbread, so I was intrigued as to how this one would taste since its plant based.

Ohhh I am very impressed with this as it tasted MUCH nicer than I expected, the chocolate was nice and the overall flavour was good.

I could easily have this again.

St Pierre Brioche Waffle

I was introduced to St Pierre in a previous Degusta Box, and really liked it so when I saw two products again from them I was very excited to try them.

I love Brioche, I love waffles so this should be good…

AMAZING!!!

The Brioche, the sugar mmmmm SO SO SO SO SO GOOD!!!!!!

Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles Sharing Pouch

“Vegan friendly sweets that are chewy, fruity and irresistible”

I have not had Fruit Pastilles since I was a kid, so this brought back a lot of memories.

Just as they describe they are chewy, fruit flavoured and very addictive as you just want to take more and more 🙂

Barleycup

“made from cereal grains and chicory roots”

This was a nice find for me as I like an alternative to coffee, as I have been using another bran that does this style of drink since last January.

Time to make my Barleycup….kettle on…..

It tasted just like I expected since I have tried a similar brand.

If your looking to cut back on your coffee intake and fancy a nice alternative then check these guys out.

Mister Free’d Avocado Tortilla Chips

These sounded very interesting to me, and one that I was and wasnt looking forward to trying due to the Avocado flavour…

I took a few in my hand and ate them…

I couldn’t have been so wrong!! these were actually REALLY good, the flavour was really nice and I will 1000% be buying these when I see them again.

Gregory’s Tree Organic Strawberry Fruit Twists

I have never seen or heard of these before so it was going to be fun trying these.

These were very nice, the strawberry flavour was just perfect and also the texture of the twist was really nice.

These were finished very fast 🙂

Whitworths Shots Fruity Biscuits

These sounded very nice and I was looking forward to try this.

I opened the packet and oh not what I was expecting….I was expecting either a liquid or a biscuit with the fruit through it….but nope its just a packet with the fruit as it is.

I popped it all in my mouth and enjoyed it, and this is another one if I see it again I will buy it 🙂

NAT Bears Cereal

Firstly how cute is that box, and how cute is the bear drawing.

This has 6 packets inside and this boxes flavour was Honey.

The ingredients are sourced from natural origins, no artificial colours or flavours and wholegrain oat as their number 1 ingredient.

I poured milk in to my bowl, and placed a bear inside.

This had a really nice flavour, and the honey flavour was very very nice.

Grey Poupon Dijon Vegan Mayo

Grey Poupon launched a new Vegan Dijon Mustard Mayo and it was included in this months DegustaBox.

I decided to make my self a sandwich and use this mayo, I made a chicken slice sandwich and dug right in.

This was very nice, the flavour of the mustard mayo was very nice. It wasnt overpowering or left an aftertaste in my mouth.

If you like mustard but find it just a tad too strong for you, then I highly recommend this.

Baker Street Rye & Wheat Bread

I have never tried Rye bread before so this would be a first.

Since I was making a sandwich for the Dijon Mustard Mayo, I used the Baker street bread for this.

Hmmm I really liked the flavour of the bread, and its texture.

I could easily see myself buying this again, as it was a nice change from what I normally buy

Lizi’s Focus and Boost Super Muesli

I cant remember the last time I had Muesli or even if I have ever tried it so this would be interesting.

One of these contained nuts so I had to skip that one, but I did try the Boost one.

I emptied the packet into a bowl, and poured some milk in…

This was an interesting texture and taste for me, I finished the bowl.

I dont think Muesli is for me, it lacked taste for me but I am sure if your into this you would liked this.

Sun-Pat Smooth Peanut Butter

I have been addicted to peanut butter recently, so when I saw this in this months DegustaBox I was very happy as I have not tried this one yet.

I got the smooth one, where some other Degusta Box peoples got crunchy…now this splits people down the middle what is better? smooth or chunky? for me I am a chunky fan but I was still looking forward to try thing this.

The smell of Peanut butter on warm toast is so mmmm

Ohhh this was very nice, it had a really nice flavour and very moreish hmmm could this change my mind about chunky being better hmmm thats a tough one.
