Co Op Rainbow Unicones & Cherry Bakewell Ice Cream! (Spotted In Shops)

co op rainbow uni-cones

Today's Spotted In Shops post is a bit late, but a heads up to anyone with a Co Op nearby...they are now selling Unicorn themed ice creams called...Rainbow Uni-Cones! Yep, they've jumped on the magical unicorn highway and have created these Ice Creams complete with vanilla and raspberry ice cream, sprinkles and bizarrely, black waffle cones. Maybe to highlight the filling? Who knows!

Going further to the Dark Side, they've also created these "Twice as Ice!" Double Chocolate Waffle Cones. I can't say they appeal to me, as much as like all things chocolatey.

co op pineapple lollies

In fruitier ice creams, they're also doing these cool-looking Pineapple Lollies. Sounds tasty!

co op cherry bakewell ice cream

They're also doing this lovely sounding Cherry Bakewell Ice Cream, complete with almond flavour ice cream, cherry sauce and digestive biscuit. Yum!

co op Coconut & Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream

Plus a Coconut & Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream, complete with butter enriched coconut biscuit and a truffle centre.



co op British Strawberry & Clotted Cream ice cream

As well as this lovely British Strawberry & Clotted Cream Ice Cream, rippled with strawberry compote and hidden pieces of scone!

co op peach bellini popsicles

In alcoholic treats, they're doing Peach Bellini Ice Popsicles. Not for anyone under 18 as they contain real alcohol! Suitable for vegetarians.

co op handcooked gourmet burger crisps

They're also doing these special limited edition, hand cooked Gourmet Burger Crinkle Cut Crisps. What makes them gourmet, I hear you ask? Well it's the Aberdeen Angus beef, Monterary Jack cheese and Dill Pickle of course! These do sound yummy I have to say...sadly they're not vegetarian for anyone who may be wondering.

co op triple chocolate cookie pudding

Last but not least, they're doing this fab sounding Triple Chocolate Cookie Pudding, with chocolate cookie dough, white and milk chocolate chunks and chocolate sauce. Sounds like sugar heaven!

Well, that's all for today's Spotted In Shops! If you've tried any of these Co Op treats do let me know your thoughts in the comments!


New Marks & Spencer Chouxnuts & Coconut Pots

Today's post is another Spotted In Shops (soooooo much new stuff lately!) and again it's for M&S who have been busy not just adding a new British Isles range (complete with the weird Salt & Vinegar Caramels) to their confectionery offerings, but a rather decadent looking range of pastries to their desserts. One special addition in particular is this hybrid of choux pastry and a doughnut...the chouxnut!

Available in Salted Caramel (of course), as well as...

Rhubarb and Custard Chouxnuts:

And the new Ultimate Chocolate Eclairs, filled with chocolate mousse and with white chocolate icing!

As well as these fancy looking White Chocolate & Blackcurrant Spheres:
Plus they're doing some new vegan dairy free vanilla Coconut Yogurt Pots...

As well as Blueberry Coconut Pots...

Plus Mango & Passionfruit Coconut Pots...

There's also been more additions to their confectionery and snacks range, which I'll do a post on shortly! If you've tried any of these desserts please do let me know your thoughts in the comments!


Tesco's New Frozen Toasties: the height of laziness?


Whilst perusing the new products in Tesco recently I came across something that made me stop in my tracks. "Really?!" I thought...people are really lazy enough to buy a FROZEN Toasted Sandwich?" It's not like they are that hard to slap together especially if you have a Toastie Maker.


The frozen delights come in classic Toastie flavours like Cheese & Ham, Tuna & Sweetcorn, BBQ Chicken, and Cheese Tomato & Spinach.




The latter even comes with wholemeal bread...mmm healthy frozen Toastie!


I imagine this range may be popular with students, although I reckon they'd opt for something shop-bought over these - too much effort!

Have you tried the new frozen Toasties from Tesco? Are they actually any good? Let me know in the comments!


Oreo Birthday Party - new for the UK!

oreo birthday party

Just a quick post today as a heads up...Oreo Birthday Party variety is now available in the UK! From Asda specifically, these are on offer for 50p and consist of regular Oreo vanilla creme cookies with sprinkles in the centre. They're pretty much the same thing as Oreo Birthday Cake which have been available as imports for a while, and have been launched to celebrate Oreo's birthday.

Have you tried these? Are they as good as Oreo Birthday Cake? Let me know in the comments!

It wouldn't be Easter without a whopping Easter Eggs In Shops post, so without further ado let's crack on...or rather crack the eggs!

Available from Sainsbury's, this egg was simply described as "The Purple Egg" - presumably the colour purple is enough to be associated with Cadbury Dairy Milk! It's simply a milk chocolate egg wrapped in purple foil. Price: £1.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Ultimate Chopped Nut Egg:
