Chipotle Mac n Cheese

Well, I don't know about you but I've never thought about putting chipotle sauce with my macaroni cheese. Until now. I've just discovered this gorgeous taste sensation that is ready in JUST 2 MINUTES! It's very cheesy and has just the right amount of smoked chilli. There are three others in the new macaroni cheese line-up: plain; with bacon and with chorizo. Available from Asda

Baileys XC

If you're passing through an airport this summer, be sure to check out the new liqueur from Baileys. It's called Baileys XC, which combines cream, cognac and fine spirit. Apparently XC stands for exceptional cream. Presented in an intricately designed gold and blue bottle featuring an eye-catching hologram effect, Baileys XC appears unique and indulgent. 

Cadbury Chopped Nut

Cadbury Dairy Milk will launch a new chopped nut tablet this August. The  company will expand its range of Dairy Milk tablets with the new 95g variant, having earlier released a range of soft-centred tablets and Dairy Milk tiffin tablet in May. The product follows the successful launch of Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut Chopped in November 2015, which has since become the brand’s fastest-selling variant behind Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Mars Frozen Desserts

Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats has launched a range of frozen desserts featuring three of the UK’s favourite chocolate brands.  The Twix cheesecake offers a creative new twist on the classic layered chocolate bar with a crunchy biscuit base, creamy cheesecake filling and caramel layer, all topped with chocolate sauce and chocolate-covered biscuits. The Maltesers pavlova is a meringue case filled with malted cream, topped with chocolate sauce and decorated with Maltesers, and the Mars dessert bar boasts layers of delicious chocolate sponge, mousse and caramel, covered in milk chocolate.

The new Twix cheesecake, Maltesers pavlova and Mars dessert bar are available from Iceland

Super Porridge

I introduce to you the new Quaker Super Porridge. Porridge has risen hugely in popularity over the last few years add several brands quickly caught on to this trend. Quaker seems to be rather late in jumping on the bandwagon, but better late than never... it's always nice to have something new to try. The new range comes in four flavours: Blueberry, Cranberry & Guava; Raspberry & Cranberry; Raspberry, Apple & Acai and Apple, Cinnamon & Raisin.
These porridges are a cut above most other flavoured porridges because they contain real pieces of the fruits, in either dried or freeze-dried form. They also contain added vitamins which is what's makes them 'super'. Each variety contains a different mix of added vitamins for a specific function such as a healthy immune system. They come in packs of 8 sachets.

I'm back!

After a very long time away from the blog, I return. I couldn't resist, what with so many great new products cropping up on the shelves. While I've been away there have been some great new arrivals in the supermarkets and corner shops... and some that have been not so great. Anyway, now you can stay up to date with all that is happening in the world of new product development!
