Raspberries - Raspberries (The)

Simply Raspberry

Advantages: not 'just' bitter dark chocolate
Disadvantages: freeze dried fruit

of dark chocolate finding it too bitter for my tastes so often choose dark chocolate which is flavoured to give it a little more sweetness, and lately have found a taste for raspberry (sadly mostly in vodka but hey ho its one of my 5 a day right?). Opening the paper wrapper there is an inner gold foil wrapper, inside this is the chocolate itself, breaking the foil there is a fairly strong smell of dark chocolate with little evidence of the raspberry flavouring. Breaking off a block the chocolate seems to have quite a rough surface texture and inside can be seen some very vivid red bits around the size of small 'millions' sweets. Again at this point there is little scent of the raspberry. So putting that first small piece in to my mouth I first notice the strong bitter taste of the dark chocolate, as that first taste dies away the first hint ...

Review of Divine Dark Chocolate with Raspberries

Blowing raspberries

Advantages: Smoothes, polishes skin...
Disadvantages: ...at your inconvenience!

Skin type: Normal Introduction I really like strong, fruity smelling toiletries so I'm a fan of The Body Shop Body Butters and Scrubs. The raspberry flavour is hard to come so I was glad when not long ago The Body Shop introduced their limited edition raspberry range. Sadly it's already disappeared from the shelves but I stocked up some body butter too.

Apperance and application The scrub comes in a transparent plastic tub with a dark pink screw-top lid. The scrub itself is an raspberry juice coloured soft and runny gel that smells of freshly squashed raspberries. The texture of the mask is gritty with tiny specks / grains; these are the powdered ...

Review of The Body Shop Raspberry Body Scrub

Alpen with Raspberry

Advantages: It's pink and yummy
Disadvantages: None

Alpen bar Raspberry & Yogurt (6 bars) Like chocolate, yogurt is a fantastic addition to the otherwise plain cereal bars. The box which contains six 29g bars is available in Tesco for £1.98, and I think you can also find it in Asda and Sainsbury's for the same price, more or less. The six bars are individually wrapped, of course, and they come in a recyclable pink box. As you unwrap a bar of these, you can recognize the strong and fantastic smell of raspberry. As you see in the picture, you can see in every bar, the pink raspberry bits, the yogurt coating, in addition to the cereals. As is the case with similar other Alpen bars, these are chewy and moist at the same time. They are sweet, but they also have the slightly acidic flavour of the raspberry bits. If you check the ingredients, you'll find that the source of this ...
