The little treat costs 75p, and I think that's very reasonable, given that Sainsburys bakery is epic!
Personally, I don't think this little fella looks quite like the animal it's meant to be, but with all of that delicious looking chocolate, I wasn't going to complain.
I am never a fan of the icing decorations on this kind of biscuit and the same applies here. It just doesn't work with the chocolate. That said, it's easy to pick off and makes the biscuit look rather cute. The chocolate was delicious! It was milky and sweet with a good cocoa hit; much better quality than a standard packet biscuit.
Now, I keep calling this a biscuit and I think that's where it all went wrong for me. I expected crunch and a creamy filling. I thought this would be a little like a bourbon; just bigger, better and covered in chocolate. What I actually got was a softer, more cake like affair and I didn't really like it. I know it wasn't stale, but the texture reminded me of biscuits that are on the turn and have that damp texture and peculiar after taste. I really didn't like it.
Now, I find it tough to give this a yay or nay, simply because I think the reason I wasn't keen is simply down to the fact I had assumed this was a biscuit. The chocolate coating and creamy filling were both superb, in fact the cake/biscuit (I'm still confused) tasted really nice, I just didn't like the texture and found the aftertaste a bit odd.
For 75p this is worth a go, you may like it - so long as you don't bite into it, expecting some crunch.
well, that's a wrap, folks! It's been 24 days of festive food reviews; I've eaten my way through a colossal amount of turkey sarnies and cranberry filled pastries and I hope you've enjoyed reading about it. I'll be back after Christmas with plenty more reviews and maybe even a few recipes to take you through the next year.
Have a very merry Christmas - eat, drink...and then eat some more!
Munchie stuff.
