Mentos Grape

Last month, Stewart Alezander, the distributors of internationally-owned brand Mentos, released a Woolworths-exclusive limited-edition flavour of the sweet chewy lollies. While not new to the rest of the world, Grape, to my knowledge, hasn't had its own single-flavour roll in Australia before.

Gossip: New Starburst Packaging, New Skittles Packaging

Remember those new Starburst bags with the odd packaging I picked up earlier this year? It turns out that they were the first wave of new packaging to be introduced across the whole Starburst bagged range. These bags were spotted in IGA.

I also spotted new packaging for Skittles 45g bags - now they're handy boxes!

If you've seen new products or packaging while out and about, I'd love to hear about it! Email the blog, or post on my Facebook page, or tag me in a tweet (@LollyAddict)!

Nestle Wonka Nutty Crunchalicious

The final part of the Wonka story is in the Nutty Crunchalicious block. The set of four (including Chocolate Tales, Triple Chocolate Whipple and Caramel Hat Trick) were released in August last year, and appear to have been selling well in stores. The Australian-made blocks might be a competitor to Cadbury's Marvellous Creations, but they are still pretty interesting on their own, too.

Starburst Very Berry Chews

Unlike its travel buddy Snakes and Ladders and soon-to-be-reviewed Noughts and Crosses, Starburst's Very Berry Chews is very much American made. Although they have different packaging (who designed our bags, seriously!), the contents is much the same - a collection of berry-flavoured chews. Read on for the review!

Mars M&M's Vanilla Shake

Back in September last year, we saw Mars put out their last seasonal release of M&M's with the Raspberry flavour. It's about time for a new one, so here we are with Vanilla Shake. Read on for the review!

Gossip: New Cadbury Blocks Packaging, New Mentos, and Marvelous Creations Ice Cream!

First up, reader Haley has alerted me to the fact that Cadbury's popular Marvelous Creations range has branched out into the realm of ice cream. While it's not strictly a lolly product and thus won't be reviewed, I thought some readers might be interested in hearing about them! Let us know in the comments if you have tried them, and think the ice creams are better or worse than the chocolate blocks.

Staying with Cadbury, while out today I spotted that Cadbury is putting is 200-220g block range through yet another packaging overhaul. This time we're seeing the removal of the bold colour that currently takes up the bottom half of the front side, and the introduction of an art-inspired product name.

The new design also includes the sentence case version of the Dairy Milk logo that we first saw when the new packaging for the Bubbly blocks was introduced late last year. What do you think of the new design? (You can sort of see the old design of the Crunchie block in that picture.)

Finally, Mentos has issued another limited edition single-flavour roll of dragees in Grape. I'll have these reviewed soon!

Mars Pods Cookies and Cream

It feels like ages since we've had a new Pods flavour from Mars, and that's true - the last flavour, Honeycomb Bites, came out in early 2012. It's good to see a new flavour hitting the market, ven if it is the current 'flavour of the moment', cookies and cream.

Starburst Snakes and Ladders

Recently three new varieties of Starburst jellies have popped up at my local Coles supermarket - Noughts and Crosses, Snakes and Ladders, and Very Berry Chews. Today I'll be looking at Snakes and Ladders - and why does the pack look so different to other Starburst, anyway?

Cadbury Boost Nuts

The newest seasonal version of the Cadbury Boost bar is simply called 'Nuts' , though it would be better of called 'Peanuts' those are the only nuts in use here. The milk chocolate bar has a soft choc centre stuffed with peanuts, and then a layer of caramel is added before the final enrobing of Cadbury milk chocolate.
