Treat Review: Mars Bar Rice Crispy: If this was an actual slice, I'd be all over it. But as a Mars Bar, it kind of felt over complicating the Mars Bar and it felt messier. Quite tasty, might have again, but would prefer it as a little square on a bit of butchers paper...

Anyone had any fun treats lately they'd like to share?

The Old Gold Bundaberg rum choc is... fine. Wouldn't bother a second time. The dark choc coated ginger out of the scoop & weigh thingy is really damn good! Really zingy batch. ⚡️

Yay for scoop and weigh wins!! I'm a sucker for a scoop of the peanut butter pretzels, so good!

Hmm good timing, one of the boys just brought this in and it’s surprisingly good. The watermelon hit is just right and too overpowering. Nice combo.

I don’t really eat chocolate ever and I’m not sure if this is a new thing or not.

I want to try it, but I'm too mad about it being an MCo collab that I refuse until it's in the clearance bin, so thank you for the review!

I haven't been snacking lately but every now and again Aldi have Scorched Peanut Bites so I picked up a box for YL to give to her dad for father's day. He asked her where she got them from "Aldi. I knew you liked them so that's why I got them". She didn't even come into the shop with me 😂. Anyway they are really really good.

To be fair it was his birthday 2 weeks ago so she was all out of ideas.
