REVIEW - Double Peanut Butter Magnum

Magnum have released 3 new flavours to their range fairly recently - Double Caramel, Double Chocolate and Double Peanut Butter. I probably would have overlooked these (being more of a fan of tub ice cream rather than stick, as nice as Magnums are!) had I not been such a huge fan of peanut butter. It took me two Tesco trips to get hold of them, as they were out of stock the first time - I can't decide if they were really popular or if the store just didn't order very many in. Either way, I managed to snap up a box on round two.

It was £2 for a box of 3, which I presume is an introductory offer and will probably jump up in a few weeks. Grab them while you can!

REVIEW - Bounce Energy Balls

I love my degree. Not only because I get to learn about things that I genuinely find really interesting (food, nutrition and all that jazz) but also because we occasionally get gifted free food. The raw carrots we had in second year (as part of a sensory analysis lecture) were maybe not my favourite, but over the years I've also managed to obtain cheese, milk, biscuits, sweets and an entire cake. I'm not sure if the food has actually aided my learning, but I'm certainly not one to turn down free food!
More recently I was lucky enough to take home a whole box of Bounce energy balls. I've always wanted to give these a try but the price tag has been the main factor stopping me from doing so. I was pretty delighted when my lecturer showed up and started handing them out to us one Thursday afternoon!

I ended up with 3 different varieties: peanut, cacao orange and cacao mint. With no idea what to expect, I got stuck in first with the cacao orange.

REVIEW - Gu Maple and Pecan Pies

With Gu puddings still half price in Tesco, it was inevitable that they were probably going to end up in my basket again, despite buying the Zillionares' puds barely a week before. Still, in my defence I had actually been planning to pick up the new peanut butter Magnums, but my store was out of stock (!) so I needed to console myself with something else.

Again, I hovered indecisively over the Gu selection but ended up choosing the 'Maple and Pecan Pies', described delightfully by Gu as: "crumbly pecan biscuit base, topped with a creamy maple syrup-infused cheesecake". This did lead to me wondering why they are described as "pies" and not "cheesecakes", but then I decided that I wasn't really that fussed and would much rather just get stuck in with my spoon.

Gu for two (or one)
