Ever the reliable! To be fair, I think regular Lion bars are a joy not to be fussed with. Or fudged with.
spied and haven't bought yet, those ainsley harriot pasta/cous cous things that come in the rectangle box? They look so..professional...

They were frighteningly low calorie too. Considering choc nut cornettos are 240 (single) or 200 (multipack), these were 156 each!
They're probably tiny

Dani honey, you need not hang the head. We love you. Doesn't matter when you discover a food, you get freakycited about it, and that is what it's all about!
I feel sufficiently comforted, thank God you're back!
Has anyone tried these yet?
Worth it?
Also, it may just be my living-under-a-rock again, but it seems Nestle are bringing out loads of ice creams? Caramac, Aero BubbleBall, and Crunch Bars. I make it my mission to try all before the summer is through. Well, if/when the sun comes out....

Sorry to be a douchebag (and actually use the word, "Douchebag") but the Nestle ones have been around since I was a tot - even longer than Mars and Snickers ice creams in the UK. One thing I will say is that they magically have less cals than even the most basic of choc ice which I find miraculous (caramac icies for 130!). You used to get the Caramac ones in Farmfoods back in the day for 50p a multipack!! In retaliation, Cadbury started bringing out their own bars, like Wispa ice cream bars, which are far better for you than their regular bars (210 for a Wispa and 140 for Wispa ice cream bar).
What I will say is... seek out Cadbury Fruit and Nut Ice Cream Bars, and Lion Ice Cream Bars. BLISS PLEASE.
Oh, and Chokablok? I've tried the "magnum-a-likes"; the Billionaire's Shortcake and Chocolate Lovers-esque ones - and I believe they're really rather good. Still, I would rather have a magnum or Haagen Dazs, but they're a nice change

I'd rep you if I could. </3 Know that the thought is there!
I swear a customer walked past me today with ANOTHER new Aero mousse in her basket. They already bought out 3 ones recently, of which I rate highly..but it looked like another, it was a blend of mint and chocolate in a screwball style fashion I think?
ANOTHER thing I spotted, new ketchup, American style? Asda, £1..would be intrigued to see difference.
Tangerine Confectionery has embarked on a new licensing venture with ice cream maker Fredericks Dairies, to recreate their Sherbet Dib Dab as an ice lolly.
Bringing new product innovation to the market, the Barratt Dib Dab brand has launched itself into the iced refreshment category in the form of six pack lollies.
HELLS TO THE YEAH.
Interesting!! Dib Dab lollies could be good!!
And don't say I never give things a second chance. You lot always rant about Ryvita and I've always shunned it, because I genuinely think it tastes like cardboard when there are many other "low cal toasts" like Crispbreads, Crackerbreads, Melba Toast and Dutch Crispbakes around.
But in Sainsburys I spied what is essentially a "grown up healthy lunchables" Ryvita Lunch pack... and I've seen them before but now they're on sale at £2; so I got one. I shall review when I consume, soon...
