Saints Of Excess - GU Medicine

Advantages: Delicious flapjack treat
Disadvantages: Pricey and high in calories.

...Review of GU Naughties Millionaire's Flapjack The Product What is it? A black plastic, circular pot containing 16 pieces of chocolate coated caramel flapjack. Packaging A classy looking black plastic bucket type container with a photograph of three pieces of the flapjack. Nutritional values, allergy advice and ingredients are listed on the side of the container. The container is sealed with a peel away plastic strip around the lid and then the actual product is sealed for freshness with foil inner lid. My one criticism about the packaging is that I can see no mention of whether it is recyclable on the label, which, perhaps wrongly, leads me to believe that it is not! Taste, Texture and Aroma The flapjack is one of the nicest I have ever tasted, rich and sweet in flavour, oaty, with a lovely chewy texture... Read review

Advantages: Very effective for dry skin and chapped lips
Disadvantages: Initial cost and strange smell

Although it calls itself a cream, its consistency and texture are more like a gel and as such I find it a bit off-putting applying it to large areas of skin (eg using it as a moisturiser) and prefer to use it on smaller "problem" areas. The initial outlay on a 50 ml tube is around £17 which sounds a lot... Read review

Advantages: gorgeous chocolate, warm and tasty, comes with ramekins, usually on offer.
Disadvantages: expensive if not on offer, loads of calories, more-ish!

...I had a day off work today and I had already decided to treat myself to a gorgeous bit of carrot cake which I seem to have an addiction too at the moment. But shock horror at the supermarket as I couldn't find any carrot cake at all! None in the whole place! (Is there a carrot strike on???) So on my way to the checkout these grabbed my eye and I quickly dropped them in my basket. Ok so I like carrot cake but chocolate has always been my number one! ** Gü ** Gü is a new name to the market which has created a whole new world of chocolate extremism. Created by a rather clever chap named James Averdieck, he was inspired by the local patisseries use of chocolate in Belgium and after a few experiments and a bit of market research, the first Gü chocolate products were launched in 2003. They now make everything from chocolate brownies... Read review
