Mr Kipling jam and custard slices

Now as far I'm aware these might actually be new! Which is exciting for me! As I was wondering around asda I decided I should probably buy something which I could later review, and these caught my eye, being a lovely £1 in price and mentioning the word custard!

I must admit, I haven't actually eaten any Mr Kipling products as my mum always just avoided them but now I have a shot!

The packet came with 3 individual packets containing two cakes each, which I find a little odd as they're serving size is just one cake... Not that that stopped me devouring the second one almost immediately!

The description for these cakes is: Pastry base layered with plum and raspberry jam, custard flavour sponge and decorated custard flavour icing. Well, if that doesn't sound impressive, I don't know what does! I mean custard flavour cake and icing?! Why hasn't this been done before?!

Upon opening these, I was met with a fairly sweet vanilla smell and the cakes themselves looked great, with their even bright red lines, layered on top of a thick yellow icing, they looked just as promised on the box!

Now the taste... they were great! The icing was really smooth and creamy and I could pick up a definite custardy flavour and the sponge was lovely and soft, the only problem I had was I couldn't detect much of a pastry or jam flavour, there was definitely the texture, but none of the flavours which i did find a bit disappointing really. Overall though these cakes made for a nice little snack and I would recommend them to anyone who loves custard!

Nakd Rhubarb and Custard

Now, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the wrapper unopened, and sorry for the quality of the pictures, it was my snack in college the other day...

Anyway, I know they're not new per say, but I had never had one and I thought it'd be a perfect time to review, especially with it being the month where everyone seems to want to eat better and healthier and what-not...

I wasn't too sure what to expect upon opening this, I've had the chocolate flavour ones of these before and they are absolute heaven! But I was a little sceptical about this one, all that was to change though! Upon opening I was met with a delicate sweet smell, slightly vanilla-ish and very inviting! I wasn't let down either! This bar was amazing... it was sweet, with a slight rhubarb tang and whilst progressing through the bar there is a delightful creaminess to it, I assume this is the custard aspect.

Now although as an avid custardlover, nothing quite beats a big, fat, steaming bowl of delicious, creamy custard.... But for a mid morning snack bar this is a great product, especailly if you're looking for something sweet without the guilt!

Verdict- 8/10

Price- They are currently on an offer but the usuaul going rate is 75p for an individual bar

Sorry

Now then, I do doubt that anyone actually reads this blog or that I am doing anything world changing or interesting. But for that possible person who may come across this blog... sorry I haven't really posted much, I have been really busy or something happens or my internet gets cut off pretty much everytime I go to make a new post so sorry for that. Thanks if you do read this :) all the best to you

First review!!

So, I know it has been a little while that my blog has actually been up, and so far it has one measly post... but here goes, my first proper post!
So in costco the other day, I have always looked longingly at the chocolate filled crepes, until now! glancing over, I spotted a different packet! Toffee flavour!

sorry about awful quality of the photo and bad background choice... I will refine this soon!
anyway, they come in a quite a big bag of 16 all in their own little packs.

once opened, I was expecting a big toffee smell, but there wasn't much of a smell at all really, which I found a bit disappointing. Upon splitting the crepe in half, I was met with a odd creamy, beige filling a lot of crepe.

It looked a little like the butterscotch angel delight and on first taste, that is exactly what I found, it was actually quite a rich toffee flavour with a nice creamy, mousse like texture. The packet suggest heating them for 10 seconds in the microwave, just straight out of the pack.... well that made it absolutely divine! And if I was to have another one I'd definately have it warm... BUT use a plate, the filling ent everywhere and set in seconds!

Overall, I think this product is delicious and with such a big bag I will be definately have to be eating more of them! The hot version is fantastic although I did have fun unrolling the cold version crepe and eating it from one end to the other!

Verdict- 6/10
Calories- 121 per crepe
Purchased- Costco
Price- I forget, it was around £3.50
