A round up of new products spotted instore - let me know in the comments if you've tried any of these!
Ben & Jerry's Speculoos? Specu-love Cookie Core: Any regular readers will know how much I love Speculoos as a flavour. I'm barely over the excitement of the Krispy Kreme Biscoff doughnut and along comes another awesome speculoos biscuit inspired product. There are two other new varieties available in this Cookie Core range; What-a-Lotta Chocolate Cookie Core and Utter Peanut Butter Clutter Cookie Core. I'm sure I'll try those last two eventually but look out for my review of the Speculoos variety soon! £3.00p at Sainsbury's.

Limited Edition Fab Tropical: I didn't get the best picture of the box - it shows lots of tropical fruits along the bottom. I'm a fan of the Fab range, especially during the summer, as it's a relatively low calorie choice for an ice cream/lolly and I'm looking forward to trying this new Tropical variety. Review coming soon! £2.00p at Sainsbury's.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Ice Creams: For some reason I'm not that excited about these ice creams from Cadbury, and I wasn't really tempted to buy them at £4.00p a tub. The flavours above are; Zingy Raspberry Choc Brownie and Jelly Popping Candy. The first one doesn't sound too bad but I think I'll pass on the second one. £4.00p each at Sainsbury's.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Ice Creams: There was also this yellow tub which is a bizarre Salted Caramel & Sour Cherry concoction. I was disappointed that this wasn't a banana ice cream instead! If you try any of these varieties then I'd love to hear from you in the comments below. £4.00p at Sainsbury's.
Magnum Pink Raspberry: I've posted about the new Magnum Pink and Magnum Black before. I had heard that they were available at Tesco but I haven't been able to find them in a Tesco near me. I finally spotted them today in Sainsbury's at £3.40p.
Magnum Mini Pink & Black: I was hoping that the new Magnum Pink & Black would be available as Mini version but I didn't expect to find them both in a Multipack too. I much prefer the mini sized Magnums, as I find the large ones a bit too much to eat in one go, but the smaller sizes are perfect. I picked up a pack of these too - my freezer is now well stocked with ice creams! £2.00p at Sainsbury's.

Walls After School Family Favourites: Not new, but an interesting new rebranding as "after school" snacks for this selection of classic Walls ice creams. £3.00p at Sainsbury's.
Walls Push Up with Haribo Gold Bears; I think these have been available individually in freezer cabinets and from ice cream vans but I don't remember seeing them for sale in a multipack before. I wonder if they are replacing the Walls Haribo Dino Candy Ice Lollies? £2.50p at Sainsbury's.
Walker's Limited Edition Linda's Chicken & Chorizo: I can't find any information about these but they don't seem to be part of any new Walker's flavour competition. I tried these today and they're very tasty with a distinctive smoky chorizo flavour, I'll have a full review soon. £1.50 at Sainsbury's.
Bahlsen Choco Leibniz White: These are white chocolate covered cocoa biscuits. I've tried the Choco Liebniz Milk Chocolate and Caramel varieties before but never this White chocolate version. I picked up a pack while they're on special offer. £1.00p at Sainsbury's.
McVities Marie Biscuits: I was quite surprised to see McVities branded Marie biscuits in the UK. Marie Biscuits (also known as Maria in Spain/Portugal) are the European version of Rich Tea biscuits. They have a slightly different taste and I always used to pick up a few packs on holiday. At least McVities didn't release their Finger Marie version here in the UK! £1.20 at Sainsbury's.
Mr Kipling Lemon Fancies: Once again there are lots of lemon and orange flavoured cakes for Easter. I'll refer you my post last year "New Instore: Easter Cakes" as I spotted most of the same products - just with different packaging. Also back are the Mr. Kipling Lemon Whirls and Mr Kipling St. Clements Slices. £1.00p at Sainsbury's.
Shape Pineapple & Coconut Special Edition: A tropical inspired 0% fat yogurt with 63 calories per pot. £1.00p at Sainsbury's.
Müller Light Inspired by Barbados Piña Coloda: This is quite similar to the Müller Light Inspired by Bali yogurt from last year, except with added Rum flavour! £0.70p each at Sainsbury's.
Lidl Jolly Choc Spreads: I'm not sure if these are exactly new but it's certainly the first time I've seen them. These are chocolate spreads with added chocolate drops - basically mini Smarties - in either Chocolate Spread or Milk Spread. They're available this week as part of the Lidl "Taste of the USA" promotion. £1.29 at Lidl. £0.99p each at Lidl.

Wow, some cool new stuff there! I'm not so excited about the Marvellous Creations ice creams either, although I was looking for the candy floss one in Sainsbury's and couldn't find it. That's the only one that really interests me. Raspberry & brownies sounds a bit boring...Ben & Jerry's have done plenty of ice creams like that already. The white choc Liebniz sound ace!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise there was a candy floss one! That actually sounds quite cool and different. I hope they have them on special offer soon - that might make them more tempting lol
DeleteYep, I couldn't leave those white choc Liebniz behind!
I bought this spread with smarties :)
ReplyDeleteI'm regretting that I didn't buy it - is it any good?
DeleteI love easter because of the lemon French fancies! I was pregnant with my son this time last year and lemon French fancies were my craving, saved me a bit of money having 8 in a box. I need to try all of the new Ben and Jerry's cores - cookies and ice cream are two of my favourite things
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte,
DeleteThe lemon French Fancies must bring back happy memories for you! It's nice when favourite products come back at certain times each year. It makes them more special then ones that are available all year round (even with this pack instead of the usual multipack).
And I totally agree about cookies and ice cream - it's just the perfect combo!
Great info Katherine. I would be tempted to try the Dairy Milk ice creams but £4 is quite expensive in my opinion. The only thing I will buy is the white chocolate Leibniz. The Magnum packaging looks so much better than the other brands
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll probably try the Cadbury ice creams once they're on half price offer but no way at £4.
DeleteMy eyes are practically popping out of my head - I'm ridiculously excited for the new Ben & Jerry's flavours!
ReplyDeleteMade up to see white chocolate Leibniz too...and the Lidl spreads look like something different but tasty.
There are just so many new ice creams, even I was surprised!
DeleteThe white choc Leibniz are great. I wish I'd bought the Lidl spreads now!
Ive tried the marvellous creations ice creams and the candy floss one is definitely the best. Nisa stores have it in. The others are nice but not amazing, the best part is the mix ins. They're also releasing a caramel shortcake flavour. Moving on to ben n Jerry's I've tried both the speculoos and peanut butter core and loved them both! !! Incredible. Can't wait to try the new blueberry cheesecake Greek yoghurt fro yo either! Did you pick up the new cornettos in peanut butter and cookies and cream? Cannot wait to tuck into them!
ReplyDeleteOoh thanks so much for the heads up about the candy floss Cadbury ice cream, I'll try my local Nisa shop.
DeleteSounds like I'll be buying the peanut butter Ben & Jerrys aswell then! I wasn't keen on their last peanut butter flavour, with the jammy core, so I hope this new one is quite different.
I didn't see any new Cornettos in my Sainsburys! Oh my goodness, now I want those too lol. Fingers crossed they will have them next time I go... And the fro yo too!
Oh no I hate the Peanut Butter & Jam core it was disgusting - don't worry this one is nothing like that and is considerably better. More akin to the Peanut Butter Cup ice cream if you've tried that one?
ReplyDeleteYes definitely look out for those! Maxibon are out in this country now too!! Apparently the Blueberry Cheesecake was released on Sunday just gone so hopefully fingers crossed it'll be out there soon!
That's good to know, I'll definitely give the peanut butter one a try in that case.
DeleteOoh Maxibon! That's great news too! Just need some nice sunny weather now... :)
Thanks Katherine for another great write up of new offerings... allways great to read and see whats coming out over there.. Better run , of to search Ebay for the new chicken and chorizo walkers lol .. all the best !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sarah, glad you enjoyed it! I hope you manage to get hold of the crisps, it's a great flavour!
DeleteI thought the Dairy Milk Marvellous ice cream were pretty unpleasant (I've tried three of them so far, the salted caramel one being the last I'm yet to taste). The jelly bits give such an unpleasant texture, the actual ice cream itself is nice, but it's just too cluttered with stuff that isn't really that nice or suited to being in ice cream. There's also just a massive clump of chocolate at the bottom, which I guess acts kind of as a divider between the two different flavours of ice cream, but you're just left with a big chocolate lump at the end.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Anon, that doesn't sound tempting at all. Not sure why they have chosen such random flavours rather than ones that might actually taste nice... And the lump of chocolate at the end just sounds bizarre!
DeleteThanks for sharing your experience with the new flavours! Let me know how you get on with the Salted caramel one (really interested to know how it pairs up with Sour Cherry!).
I've tasted the salted caramel one now too and yeah, think it's the worst one for me. Didn't really like the sound of "salted caramel" along with "sea salted biscuit pieces" to begin with and wasn't great. The cherries are pretty massive too, and didn't seem to be sour at all to me. Not ideally texture wise either. And then the big lump of chocolate at the end again.
DeleteThink these are all decidedly un-marvellous. The popping candy one I think is the one I've liked the most but I don't think that's much of a compliment!
