Baby Ruth Chocolate Bar Review

This Chocolate bar hit me as a bit of a surprise I found it on sale in the imports section of my local Tesco so because it was only a pound I thought I'd give it a try.

The wrapper is silver and blue with red writing outlined by white which says Baby Ruth and slightly above this it says Nestle.

The bar contains 4 Grams of protein as it is keen to point out on the front of the wrapper. This chocolate bar is not something you should eat if you are on a diet because the ingredients are quite bad for you 63.9g of carbohydrates and 23.5g of fat which isn't very good but this bar does not claim to be healthy. The ingredients also mention that it is produced from genetically modified soybean and genetically modified maize. This product also contains peanuts so if your allergic to nuts steer clear of this.

This bar tastes very much like a Snickers bar it has nougat, caramel, peanuts and chocolate in it which is pretty much the same ingredients. I would say this is nice but the similarity between the two bars would put me off getting this bar because the other bar is so much cheaper and easier to obtain in the UK. So I would suggest Snickers instead but if you are in a place were these are available and Snickers aren't then you should try this one other that wouldn't say trying this one is very necessary.

I'd give this a 7/10

Strawberry Pocky Review

In Japan Pocky is a very popular choice in snack so i was wondering what all the fuss was about so i found some Strawberry Pocky on Jbox.com and had to buy it. Pocky is a type of flavored chocolate coated biscuit sticks.

Pocky comes in a rather lovely cardboard pouch. The kind of Pocky i bought was the strawberry variation so it was in a pink box with lots of strawberries on the packet and pictures of the Pocky itself of course.

As you open the cardboard pouch you will find 3 packets of Pocky each with like 5 sticks in it the packets are coloured pink and white.

As soon as you have unwrapped the Pocky there is a really strong smell of strawberries coming from the within but after you take a bite you'll just want more and more at least that was the case with me. These strawberry flavored chocolate biscuit sticks really are delightful. The biscuit could be made out of a nicer tasting biscuit i feel but the strawberry chocolate tastes really delicious and makes up for what is lacking in the biscuit.

I can't say that these snacks are very original because i have seen very similar things in the past but i would say that these are very nice for what they are and worth buying because they really don't cost much so for a small snack to get you through a busy day i would recommend these.

 I'd give these an 8/10

Lotte Koala No March (Chocolate Flavoured Biscuits) Review

Brand - Lotte
Shop - Tesco
Price - £1.50
Country Of Origin - Japan

These come in a very nice little colourful hexagonal box which has cute koala bear designs all over it. All the writing which is on the box is in Japanese but on the packet I bought there is a big white sticker placed on it by Tesco which lists the ingredients in it in English. It also has the Australian koala association logo on the side of the box and apparently some of the profits made from these biscuits go to that particular charity which is good.

These are very small crunchy koala shaped biscuits with lovely milk chocolate in the middle they are heavenly to eat. Each of the biscuits have different pictures of koalas actually baked into the delicious cookie. These are a pretty convenient snack because the small bag could easily fit into your pocket if you want a small snack while your out and about these would be perfect. The amount of biscuits there are in a packet is not a massive amount but its a good size for the price it costs and i would say its definitely worth trying and if you don't like them then you must be dead inside.

I think I'd give these a 9/10
