When Darrell goes off on an essential shop he always comes back with a little something extra, a treat to lift our spirits, in, what are hopefully, our last few weeks in meltdown. Perhaps said treats are not strictly regarded as essential by many, but to us, the tangible and palpable excitement with which they are produced from Darrell’s shopping trolley, with much fanfare and flurry, is unbelievably uplifting, especially when we can also see an impromptu comestible review in the making.
So as renowned Malteser aficionados it would have looked soooooooo rude for Darrell not to bring a packet of Maltesers Cake Bars home for our delectation and expert opinion.
They promised much, but did they deliver? We think they did. They were crunchy, not too much, but just enough. We thought said crunch was more reminiscent of a coarse Crunchie type crunch rather than a more gentle Maltesers crunch, but crunch they did. The chocolate coating was thick and more than generous and well balanced in combination with the light cake and unmistakeably malty cream filling, however, if we were being super critical we might have to say that as a whole they were just a touch too sweet …….
……..we think that we could only eat one each at a sitting, but we did like them, Darrell “dun gud”.
And our considered score on our world famous Richter Scale of Noms? We all agreed, they deserved a most acceptable eight point five out of ten Crunchies out of a Twix! What are we like?
Too sweet? Impossible.
ReplyDeleteGreat find, Darrell!
