Hi All,
I'm glad that you guys finally got a full quota of chocolate reviews this week after the Easter holidays and technical issues previous. To be honest with you guys there isn't much to report at the moment - things my side of the fence are ticking along nicely. You may have noticed that I have got reviews of some of the latest new products to hit the chocolate market up pretty sharpish in the last few weeks - you can expect a whole lot more coming soon as I will be sharing my thoughts on certain Thorntons and Cadbury NPDs in the next week or so.
Whilst on the topic of Thorntons you might want to take a look back at my review of the Thorntons Mini Caramel Shortcakes (See HERE) - I recently just updated the photographs on that review. Another one I have recently updated is my review of Montezuma's Culture Shock bar (See HERE).
I'm sure you will all be pleased to hear that Hotel Chocolat delivered a box full of their summer chocolate range this week - like the new products above those reviews will be along very shortly.
Be sure to check out the news page for all the latest goings on in the chocolate market. As ever I can only encourage you guys to leave any stories you find yourselves or any requests you have for product reviews.
Enjoy your weekends.
JIM
SNACK OF THE WEEK ..... a new part of '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' which will feature any manner of snacking product I have been products munching on in the week
Kcal 130 Fat 6.0g Fat(sats) 1.5g Carbs 19.0g (per 2 cookies)I know It's been a week of cookie and biscuit based products here on ChocolateMission and you are probably tiring of them all, but I just couldn't help but feature these Nabisco Nutter Butter cookies as 'Snack of The Week'. These were another American delight sent to me my pals at AmericanSoda (See HERE) - if you are lucky they might still have some of them in stock!
Nutter Butters are a Nabisco brand and come described as 'peanut-shaped sandwich cookies with peanut butter fillings'. I'm sure all you peanut butter lovers are salivating at the prospect of this and to be honest you have good reason to be doing so. AmericanSoda sent me the largest pack size of Nutter Butters that they sell (453.0g) but even that only lasted a few hours when left in my open office environment. Luckily for me I managed to grab a fair few myself - boy are they great. The saltyness of the peanut butter filling and the sweetness of the outer malty wheat biscuits is a combination made in cookie heaven. All I can say is that if you love peanut butter, you will love these cookies.
8.0 out of 10

At Amy's Ice Cream (in Austin, Texas), you can have Nutter Butter cookies mixed into their Mexican Vanilla ice cream, and the result is absurdly delicious!
Nutter butter are the best american cookies, Its a shame they dont make choco ones.
Is it a challenge this week to review as many cookies as possible or something :) lol I love anything you decide to review so please don't take my banter as criticism.
Thank you for the reviews this week choccie man. Have a lovely wk end.
Dx
Only the Americans could think about putting peanut butter inside biscuits. I'm not going to knock them too much. I would jump at the chance of having them myself if the opportunity arose.
Lol it was nice to get three reviews this week. Have a cool weekend mate.
How do you do it?
Its like you intentionally find these things to show us what we are all missing out on? Its all well and good you saying that those nutter butters are nice but if we can only buy them from expensive importers dont you think its highly unlikely we are ever going to buy them?
You need to start making your content more relevant to people.
Hey J
Who is your money to go down then boyo?
I think it will be West Ham, Blackpool and Wigan myself. I think blackpool will get thumped by Utd and then Wigan will get beaten. Birmingham should just about get away with it I think.
Thanks for the reviews this week mate.
Cheers

lol this news article made me chuckle. It's all about the sales of biscuits being on the up

Pretty apt after all the cookie reviews this week.
Thorntons should be paying you for this. I just added the shortcakes to my shopping list for later lol. Thanks for the reminder of how amazingly tasty they are.
That photo of the NB makes it looks like they dont have much peanut butter on. Do they do double stuff? I would bypass the originals if they do.
I saw you had some people complaining about you not reviewing chocolate bars on the post yesterday. I think its utterly ridiculous they bother writing to you about that. Just keep doing what you are doing I love the mix of different things you show us. I never knew about nutter butters until I saw them today. I want to try them now. Thanks for introducing them to me.
Thanks Jonathan
Just looked at your new pics on that millionaires shortcake review. So so lush. Im going to have to buy some today.
How depressing Jim there is no football today. We will have to get used to this aren't we :-(
At least I still have your reviews to keep me occupied. Have you ever thought about reviewing some of the chocolates that the supermarkets make? Wouldn't it be hilarious if you reviewed like a Tesco value chocolate and compared it to the cheapo one from Sainsburys lol I sense it could be well funny.
Dude thanks for the reviews this week. They were all awesome, especially bits and bobs.
WE WANT MILKSHAKES ON CHOCOLATE MISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the caps but I can't stress it enough. Make it happen for us please please please.
Ignore the idiots saying they are bored of the cookie posts jim. I think they have all been great. I want to see you review more things like that.
I'm looking forward to these HC reviews. Some of the new chocolates look so cool.
I wish I got to try all these american cookies and foods :( I just can't afford them at the moment though. That soda company are pretty cheap compared to some of the others though huh!
Mmmm nutter butters sound tasty. I might just have to buy some of them.
Are those the same people that make Oreos? I don't get the whole Kraft and Nabisco relationship. It's so conviluted and mixed up. One does one thing in one country and then the other makes the same product in the other. A perfect example being Oreos.
I love Nutter Butters. Last time I was in the US I brought 3 big packs home and they were gone in a week :( Enjoying the biscuit reviews this week, it's good for some variety. Also, to those complaining - everyone also said they wanted reviews from UK products that they could actually buy. Well there's only so many chocolate bars out there and Jim has covered most of them, aside from supermarket own brand ones. Wouldn't you rather have chocolate biscuit reviews of products we can actually buy, rather than some Ritter Sport one that we can't buy over here??
Note that I'm referring to BISCUITS and not cookies!!! There have been no cookie reviews this week! These hard crunchy things which you buy in cellophane in the biscuit aisle, in Britain they are called biscuits. I hate us adopting American terms for things. Next we'll be calling crisps "chips". I blame Maryland "cookies" for starting this. Fight ittttt.
Now if only we could get a double stuffed nutter-butter
@Julien yummm...Amy's. When I was little we had a class field trip that ended at their first ever store, it was unforgettable lol.
@Pete hmm how about ice cream instead? it could go in the 'snack' section ;) I've given up on mass market milkshakes as they're too disappointing compared to the real thing. Although, reviews might help me find a good one.
