Have not posted for a little while. I am in the process of making some changes to this blog and adding a new one. Decided to create a blog dedicated entirely to the football side of things, whilst on this keeping with the themes of reviews, books, films, food and that sort of thing. The process is a bit of a pain in the arse, how I wish that the posts could be moved individually via the dashboard as I have so many drafts. Alas! Been seeking out some new sweeties recently and thought that I would share my thoughts.
Veggie Friendly Jelly Sweet Reviews
I am more of a chocolate person but an occasional fruity sweet is always good. It isn't easy to find veggie friendly options due to the addition of gelatine. Always on the lookout for new and exciting looking products.
M&S Veggie Percy Pigs
How often had I heard how wonderful Percy Pigs were?! Family and friends would harp on about them and admit how tasty and addictive these were. Last year (or perhaps a bit longer ago), I was delighted to see that M&S launched Percy Pigs that were gelatine free. At last I was able to see what all the fuss was about, or should I say taste! My sister also tried them and said that they were a bit harder than the standard ones and that actually made them nicer. Really like the grape, cherry and raspberry flavour of the sweets, it is quite a unique taste- good though! They are softish gums, refreshing with a fairly light texture. The pack size is very generous. They are priced at £1.89 per bag and are often on at 2 packs for £2.50 (mix and match). As well as the Percy Pigs a sweet called Colin Caterpillars also come in veggie versions.
Rowntrees Jelly Tots
These were always a childhood favourite and this love has followed into my adult life. Very surprising that they are indeed veggie. The tiny little drops are sugar coated and oh so fruity. Lovely flavour, the citrus ones- lemon, lime and orange are particularly mouth-watering and tangy. Other flavours include strawberry and blackcurrant. These are very refreshing and quite addictive. They also make a nice decoration for a plain iced sponge or fairy cakes. Found that the sharing bags vary in price from shop to shop, when I bought them they were on special offer at £1 in Morrisons.
