Hershey's Cookies 'N' Mint Review

Hey everyone!

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today, I would talk to you all about something that I found whilst I was doing my essential shopping trip.

I was in Home Bargains, getting some thing that I needed for the week and I saw something that caught my eye. I went up to see what it was and saw that it was a Hershey's Cookies and Mint bar. I had never seen them before and thought to myself, that I had to get one because I love anything that contains Mint, so I did!

First of all, I mainly got it because the packaging drew me in and I saw the word Mint, but I didn't;t realise that it was a White Chocolate based product. I'm very particular when it comes to White Chocolate products. I'm not sure why, but I just am. When you bite into a piece of the bar, you instantly get a kick of marvellous Mint. The Mint alone isn't too strong but is still noticeable. I know that Mint based products have a very reminiscent note of Toothpaste to them, but in my opinion, this bar did not.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I'm not the biggest fan of White Chocolate. I have to be in one of those moods to enjoy it otherwise I don't really want to eat it. The White Chocolate cut through some of the Mint flavour which ensured that Mint flavour within the bar wasn't too strong but my main problem with this, is that the Mint and White Chocolate combined together gave the bar a peculiar aftertaste. I don't know how to fully explain it, but in my opinion, the bar had a sort of sour aftertaste?  It's not an overwhelming aftertaste but it was enough to make me wonder what was causing it.

I loved the texture of this bar. I loved the contrast between the smooth creamy chocolate and the nubbly pieces of milk chocolate based cookies. I loved eating a piece of this product and then being surprised every time my mouth found a piece of Cookie. If you have ever tried the Mint Dairy Milk and Oreo bar, and loved the texture of the interior of the bar, then you will love this. Imagine that but with more crunch and less cream.

Would I buy this product again? Probably. Would I go out of my way to buy it? Probably not, but if I was in a supermarket and I saw it then I would pick it up. Would I suggest this bar to others? Hell yeah, if you love White Chocolate and Mint then you will love this!

Have you tried this bar before? Let me know down below!

Hershey's Strawberries & Creme Chocolate Bar Review

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today, I would talk to you all about some chocolate that I tried recently.

When I was in Home Bargains doing my weekly necessary shopping, I saw that Home Bargains were selling Strawberries and Creme Hersheys and I knew that I had to try them. I have tried the Hershey's Cookies and Creme several times due to Luke being obsessed with them so I thought that it was fitting to try this product too.

From what I could tell, this product was a white chocolate bar with a strawberry sort of flavouring to it with little sugar crystals running all the way through the bar.

I'm not the biggest fan of White Chocolate so I was a little bit anxious when trying it, mainly as some White Chocolate products can make me feel sick after a bite or two, but this product wasn't like that at all. The White Chocolate was more of a backdrop which allowed the Strawberry flavour to sing. To me, the Strawberry is more of an artificial strong Strawberry flavour compared to a more sour real Strawberry flavouring that ive tried in other products before. The best way to summarise this, is imagine a Strawberries and Cream iced drink from a Coffee Chain but in Chocolate Bar form. The sugar crystals make a good surprising textural contrast against the smooth chocolate. The reason that I say surprising is because compared to other bars that have a crunchy texture, this one is a bit more fine thus making you go ooh when you encounter the crystals.

I think that this a great sweet treat and can imagine this particular flavour being released within other products such as ice-cream and frozen desserts. I bought this bar from Home Bargains for 50p whilst it was on offer. Would I buy it again? Yes. Would I buy it regularly? Maybe not, just because I'm not the biggest fan of White Chocolate so unless I;m craving a Strawberry sweet treat then I might not remember to pick this up regularly.

Have you tried this product? Have you tried any new food products lately? Let me know down below!
