Coles Pretzel Caramel Cravings

Not long ago I reviewed the first of Coles' four new chocolate mixes, Popcorn Honeycomb Passion. Next up is Pretzel Caramel Cravings, a mix of salty pretzels 'nuggets' of creamy caramel and milk chocolate.

Darrell Lea Australia's National Liquorice Pineapple and Apple

Happy Australia Day, dear readers! I found a fitting product to review today, A bag of Australia's National Liquorice, produced by Darrell Lea. But first, a history lesson on this interesting brand!

Whittakers 33% Cocoa Peanut Butter

Whittakers is a brand of New Zealand chocolate that has had extensive time in the Australian market, yet it never seems to be hugely popular. Wikipedia indicates the brand is popular in its native country; in a 2013 Readers Digest, the brand was declared the number one most trusted brand in the country. But in Australia, the brand hasn't moved far from its lower shelf status. A limited selection of flavours is available in Woolworths, with the full range carried in Big W. This exclusiveness may contribute to it being somewhat uncommon.

Gossip: The National Confectionery Company Wild Things

I just came across this image on the National Confectionery Company's Facebook page - looks like we might be getting a new release soon!

I haven't been able to find any information on these new jellies, so if you see them while you're out and about, please let me know!

Coles Honeycomb Popcorn Passion

It's always interesting when stores begin to produce a range of items, especialyl when they try and muscle in on a market as big as the chocolate one. One of the major supermarket chains in Australia, Coles, has recently released a range of four chocolate mixtures, each containing an unusual combination of ingredients. The first I'll be looking at is Honeycomb Popcorn Passion.

Cadbury Dairy Milk with Oreo

Another day, another imported Cadbury product masquerading as a local on our shelves. Similar to its cousin Cadbury Dairy Milk with Golden Biscuit Crunch from Austria, this new Cadbury Dairy Milk with Oreo is from Germany, albeit in a small 120g block. It's been on the shelves for a few months, and seems to be carried exclusively by Woolworths. In my local stores in WA, I noticed that stock seemed to dry up for a period of a month or so, before reappearing recently.

Lindt HELLO Strawberry Cheesecake

Earlier this week I reviewed one of the flavours from Lindt's new HELLO range, Caramel Brownie. Today it's time for the second flavour that caught my eye - Strawberry Cheesecake.

Fino Berry Flavoured Jells

Last week I reviewed the other flavour of Fino Jells, the Citrus bag. This week it's the Berry bag.

Fino is an Australian brand with a strong social conscience. A lot of thought has been placed into the sourcing and production of their ingredients, resulting in a product that is gluten free, all natural and suitable for vegans. Be sure to check out their FAQ for more info on the brand - I applaud a brand that has such a strong moral behind it.

Cadbury Twirl Caramel Flavour Limited Edition

It took my ages to track down this particular product for review. I suspect it might have something in common with another limited edition chocolate bar I reviewed recently - the Nestle Aero White - in that it may only be available in the petrol and convenience sector, as I've been unable to find it in all the major supermarkets and department stores. It has also flown under the radar online - googling it gives you a link back to this blog, and the only way I found out about it was through one of my lovely readers. Makes you wonder why Cadbury has neglected to advertise it! (But of course, I do live under a rock here in WA, so if you've seen advertising, please let me know!)
