REVIEW! KP Salt and Vinegar Snackers

KP Salt and Vinegar Snackers

I purchased these KP Snackers from Asda last week. They come in this Salt and Vinegar flavour, Salted and also Spicy Chilli flavour. The bag weighs 160g and a 32g serving is approximately 184 calories.

This "Snack and Nut Mix" as the bag calls it, contains jumbo peanuts, crunchy corn strips, potato spirals and multigrain crispy bites.

Salt and vinegar is only of my favourite crisp flavours and this is a good one. The vinegar is nice and strong which is the way I like it.

The various elements of the mix are evenly spread but you do need to give the bag a good shake as the peanuts being heavier than everything else do have a tendency to go to the bottom. I enjoyed the crazy mix of crunchy textures and although the main taste is salt and vinegar you do still get the taste of the different snacks with the peanuts and the multigrain bites being the most obvious. I liked the subtle mix of flavours.

Verdict
KP Snackers are pretty tasty and more exciting than just a bag of crisps or a bag of nuts. I think I will give the Spicy Chilli flavour a go next time.

REVIEW! Quorn Mexican Chilli Burrito

Quorn Mexican Chilli Burrito

I'm not vegetarian but I eat a lot of Quorn because I find it really tasty and it's low in fat. I am particularly fond of the fake "ham" slices and prefer them to normal ham even though they are quite a bit more expensive. Anyway I honestly can't remember which supermarket I purchased this from but they are on offer in Tesco at the moment for £1 (normally £1.99).

The burrito contains 234 calories and is described as "spicy mexican chilli sauce with tomatoes, chargrilled red peppers and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla".

Quorn Mexican Chilli Burrito

This is a frozen burrito and it is super easy to cook which is great for when you are feeling lazy which  obviously was when I purchased it. You just need to microwave it in the plastic packet for 3 mins (1.5 mins each side) and it's done!

Quorn Mexican Chilli Burrito

I will be honest, I am not usually a huge fan of microwave meals but actually this wasn't too bad. The wrap was little soggy and there wasn't much cheese either but the chilli part was quite tasty and it was pretty filling too.

Verdict
I wouldn't rush out to buy this to be honest but the filling was nice. I think in future I would probably just make my own version using Quorn mince.

REVIEW! Peanut Butter Creme Oreo Cookies

Peanut Butter Creme Oreo Cookies

Yesterday Mr Review Addict and I took a trip to the The Stateside Candy Co in Aldershot. I have said before that I could spend hours and a fortune in this shop so I told myself that I wasn't go to purchase anything for myself, just buy the Salt Water Taffy for Mr Review Addict's nan (she is proper addicted to the stuff) and just go. Well famous last words, as just by the till were these bad boys and I couldn't help myself. This huge 432g pack of Peanut Butter Creme Oreos cost me £5.75. It contains around 30 servings of 2 cookies which contains 140 calories.

I reviewed the insane Green Tea Oreos the other day and loved them and these are considerably tamer in comparison but I love peanut butter and I love Oreos so I knew that these were going to be good!

I was expecting some individually wrapped packets in this big pack but instead it was 3 rows of gorgeous Oreos which smelt absolutely gorgeous, I could honestly sit and sniff my biscuit barrel all day long.

Peanut Butter Creme Oreo Cookies

These Peanut Butter Creme Oreos are very similar to your standard Oreo, the only difference is of course the peanut butter filling. It is a very sweet peanut butter creme rather than salty and it is smooth and really compliments the dark chocolate cookie.

Verdict
I can't really say much else other than these are definitely my favourite Oreo cookies yet!
