Having A Festive Plopp

Yuletide is a time when we like to try one or two of the new and different festive comestibles we stumble upon when we are out mooching …….

….. so when Nigel spotted these Plopps in the Swedish section (hosts of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, woo hoo hoo), when he nipped into Lidl, on the way back from the school run, it was a no brainer, the name was enough to sell them to him!

Now, it goes without saying that we greatly appreciate anything of a milk chocolate bite type nature, especially when soft toffee filling is involved ………

……… so when you then add a country as romantic and inherently Christmassy as Sweden to the mix, it has to be a must for a cheeky seasonal review.

How did our Plopps fair?  Well, as you know, we all have an incredibly sweet tooth, but on this occassion, they were just on the cusp of being almost too sweet for us, which is almost an unknown! So sadly, though they promised much in their romanticism,  we can only award them 5 chocolate logs out of 10 Christmas tree trunks, on our festive Richter scale of noms.

However, all is not lost, as it’s a big bag, we’ll still keep a few for us, but we thought we’d also pop one or two Plopps in with our festive family and friends fairings….. but only for the ones we know share the same sense of humour as us……..what are we like?

Oops. In Mexico, we have food bags called Bol-Lock, which always makes me smile.
