I recently reviewed a handful of treats from the lovely guys & girls at CyberCandy (review here) and was excited to see another email pop up in my inbox from the lovely Libby. She was asking if I’d like to try something from the vintage Hammond’s candy range*. I popped along to the website and found the perfect present for Steve, a PB&J sandwich chocolate bar!
I’m not the biggest fan of peanut butter (and definitely not PB&J together) so I left the majority of the taste test to Steve. I did treat myself to one square though!
The chocolate bar comes packaged in a pretty simple vintage looking red outer wrapper with black & white text and a gorgeous gold wrapper for the inner wrapping. Aesthetically pleasing, not offensive to the eye so far. The chocolate bar itself looks like most normal everyday chocolate bars, squared off. But how did it fare when it came to the taste test?
It was alright. As a chocolate bar, it was lovely. As a PB&J chocolate bar, I’m not so sure. I only had the one square but even Steve who had the rest of the bar said that the taste of the peanut butter and jelly (jam to use Brits) was barely there. Perhaps our bar was at the end of the days production and has a tinier amount than normal, who knows? We’ll definitely be trying this again to see if it is just how the bar was meant to be but for now, I’m unsure. Great packaging, great tasting chocolate. The flavouring? To be honest, I was expecting more.
However, I shall definitely be trying more products in the range as they look super tasty – and after treating Steve, don’t I deserve a treat too?
Ah wow that sounds amazing! I've been browsing their site with interest, I can't wait till my next payday so I can treat myself to some of them goodies :3 xx
Definitely treat yourself, there is so much to choose from!xo
This looks incredibly weird but I would definitely try it!
