Eats Lately #4

This past month has been a busy one, filled with all things sweet! I think it's time to do a little round up of all that is bright and sugar related :)

Cadbury's Marvellous Creations range has always been something I thought of as extremely clever. They've marketed this range so it looks super fun. I can't help but be drawn into their little chocolate worlds whenever I see one of the ads. Their new range is even more fun if that's possible. Thanks to Holly Frendo of Red Agency for sending over a couple of samples for me to try before they hit up stores this month!

I love all things cola flavoured and I love all things chocolate but combined together? I think it was a bit too odd for me with the whole sugary candy and creamy chocolate combo.

What was more down my alley was the caramel shakes! It felt like I was eating solid caramel milkshake bits. If M&Ms had crunchy bits in it and were caramel flavoured, this would be it.

Another company who just launched their Spring collection is Tupperware. I sure woke up bright and early to get a preview of their new range. But there's nothing better than starting an early morning with a breakfast of yogurt and fresh fruits.

The hot brekkie (though not sugar related in any way!) was simple yet went down a treat.

The Tupperware collection is super bright - much like spring! You can't help but be happy if you brought your food out in these cute containers, no? And are the bags adorable or what? I can just imagine the big smiles on the faces of the kids using these bags. Thanks Kaaran Gaffney and Vanessa Waingent from AMPR Public Relations for hosting such a lovely breakfast with fantastic views of Bondi Beach :)

And no sweet month is complete without a visit to the Pie Tin. This adventure features THREE glorious dessert pies! Yes, I went on two different occasions. Don't judge. Can I just take a moment to relive how delicious these all were? They were so different, but respectively amazing.

Whipped lime pie, $8.50

The whipped lime pie was delightedly zesty yet creamy at the same time. Is this what the American's call key lime pie?

Oreo cookie pie, $8.50

And oh my god the oreo cookie pie... This is definitely for you diehard Oreo fans! Oreos and cream everywhere!

Tim Tam pie, $8.50

Did someone mention Tim Tam heaven? I'm not sure if any exists, but I feel like if any did, this would be it. This slice of pie was chock full of Tim Tam bits left, right and centre. So rich and chocolately. All three are not for the faint-hearted, as the cream content is very, very high. But if you are not afraid of the delicious dairy goodness that is cream, I highly recommend them all :P

And that's a wrap up of my super sweet month! Hmm, I feel the oncoming of diabetes... Better tone it down a notch with the sugar :P

marvellous creations?

Cadbury has some new chocolates released into the confectionery aisles of Coles and Woolworths everywhere - their Marvellous Creations range. They do also have a peanut toffee one, but it didn't come in the smaller bars and I wasn't in the mood to buy a massive block so I just have these two. I absolutely love the packaging though! The font is reminiscent of a circus, no? (:

Look at all the honeycomb bits in the Jelly & Crunchie Bits bar

I believe these will appeal to the inner child in all of us. They are both incredibly sweet as with all the chocolates in the Cadbury Dairy Milk range. The Jelly & Crunchie bits bar is full of chewy raspberry flavoured jellies and small honeycomb pieces. It's the same honeycomb they use in their Crunchie bars I would think. The Jelly, Popping Candy and Beanies is more interesting. The popping candy fizzles and pops in your mouth. However, I find the addition of smarties quite meaningless as smarties are just chocolate covered in a crispy shell? Perhaps to add more crunch and texture, but the popping candy is already crunches if you bite into it and also pops at the same time so the smarties seem redundant. It's a fun chocolate candy bar, and if you feel like having something with both lollies and chocolate in one, then why not? Probably not for the chocolate connoisseurs out there though haha.

easter chocolate

Peel, Bite, Spoon

Cadbury Egg 'n' Spoon, $3.50

I loved the concept of this new egg made by Cadbury of cracking open the chocolate egg to reveal milk mousse innards oh yes. As soon as I saw it hit the markets I was adamant on trying this at least once so it was with great joy that I managed to purchase these at the post-Easter chocolate clearance sales at Coles for half the price - bargain! It was definitely fun and enjoyable to eat, but as with lots of Cadbury chocolate, it was incredibly sweet. Great if you have a sweet tooth like me, yum.
