Pop Tarts Confetti Cupcake Review
This version of Kelloggs popular sweet breakfast product is ultra sweet. It does capture a nice cake flavour rather well, with a sweet, deep icing/vanilla flavouring going on, and this goes on with the nicely texture plain pastry. It's pretty good, and one of the better flavours that I have tried.

Popangles Sea Salt Review
After trying the Sweet & Salty flavour of Popangles, I was eager to try more. This is another unique and interesting product, much the same as sweet and salty - it was really good. The texture is so brilliant and satisfying to crunch through, that for my money it's better than regular popcorn which is arguably a risky snack. Check out the review for my full thoughts.

3 Musketeers Coconut Review
Claire and I had always heard of the 3 Musketeers bar, and under the presumption that it sounded like a Milky Way, avoided it because - what is the point? But we love Coconut things, and this was reduced so we took the plunge. I'm glad we did. The coconut flavouring was surprisingly natural and rather strong. The texture very nice and enjoyable. It's a pretty great bar!
McDonalds Chocolate Chip Iced Frappé Review
I recently tried the Chocolate Chip Iced Frappé from McDonalds. It wasn't too bad! Kind of non-descript! Not much to it. It was just alright. Flavour wasn't very strong and considering it's probably really bad for you, you should enjoy it more than I enjoyed this product. Watch the review for full thoughts.

Old El Paso Stand N' Stuff Soft Tacos Review
I do love a bit of Old El Paso! When I saw these soft taco bowls being advertised it was immediately attractive because whilst I've always enjoyed soft tacos, I have found them quite the challenge to eat. I am happy to report that whilst this product does taste really nice and I think it's a great option for an incredibly easy and tasty dinner - the best thing about it is the ease of eating. Hassle free. I highly recommend this product.

Blueberry Soda & Ice Cream - Gourmet Ice Cream Float
Words could do this fusion no justice. Check out the above video where I combine two ultra premium products, blueberry soda and strawberry cheesecake ice cream. I intend to retry this using vanilla ice cream and vanilla soda for a less muddled experiment.

McDonalds Mint Aero McFlurry Review
Wheeee! Another new McFlurry from McDonalds and wow, these guys have been hitting it out of the park recently with their McFlurry's. Twix was my favourite until now, but this has matched it. The mint is sweet and crisp, and because it's not chocolatey sauce it allows the mint flavour to come through and not be over powered. The Aero chocolate tastes a bit sweeter than normal Aero which is good and the texture is great with the bubbles! Bloomin' lovely!

Mint M&M's Review
Claire is a huge fan of M&M's and she loves mint stuff. To say we were hyped for this product goes without saying. It didn't disappoint! Perfect amount of sugar shell which lends to nice sweetness, the dark chocolate on the inside is nice and the mint gives a nice deep flavour. Really nice! Check out the video for full thoughts.

Cadbury Roses Pots of Joy Strawberry Dream Review
I have tried different Cadbury Pots Of Joy before, and honestly, have never been very impressed! Until now that is. They have captured the taste of the chocolate very well, it tastes identical, the texture is really nice and in this dessert the combination of chocolate and strawberry works very well. It's not exactly creamy, but more tangy and just works really well.

Domino's Cheese & Garlic Pizza Review
I reviewed a create your own pizza from Dominos. I selected double cheese and single garlic butter on a regular crust. It was delicious. It had the perfect balance of flavours, a decent amount of cheese and the garlic was not at all overpowering. Check out the video for full thoughts.

Mrs Freshley's Swiss Rolls with Reese's Review
We review a product that I had never heard of until I saw it! Now "Mini Rolls" have always seemed a little over-hyped to me, but obviously adding Reese's to it is not going to do it any harm. Definitely the best "mini rolls" type product I have ever had, but suffered from the same problems as normal "mini rolls" - chocolate isn't amazing, and very dry. Alright though! Check out the video for full thoughts.

Tango Ice Blast Mango Flavour Review
David and I tried the brand new (I think first ever NEW flavour) of Tango Ice Blast. This is the mango flavour. It is surprisingly not super strong, it was perfectly sweet, very refreshing and the texture is brilliant. It has a delicious amount of tang.

Gulp Strawberry Milkshake Review
This is a very indulgent tasting milkshake, it tastes like a very rich strawberry dessert. I recently had the vanilla flavour Gulp, and whilst I preferred that one, this is still a really nice tasting milkshake with a nice reasonably thick but not too-thick creamy texture. I recommend it.

Dominos EPIC Nachos - Food Review UK Fusions
Bam! This fusion was...kind of amazing! I took the Dominos Nachos, Dominos Fajita Wedges and Dominos Chicken Kickers and fused the heck out of them to create a godly concoction of lovely cajun flavours, nice heat and glorious textures. Check out the video for my full thoughts.

Propercorn Sweet Coconut & Vanilla Review
Propercorn is branded as a low-calorie and premium popcorn product. This is a unique and interesting flavour combination - Coconut and Vanilla and wow does that combination go extraordinarily well together! The flavour is divine. You don't get a huge amount and the flavouring isn't strong enough throughout but it's a very nicely made product and I recommend trying it!

Gulp Vanilla Milkshake Review
Gulp has been a brand I keep seeing but I finally took the plunge! I'm glad I did, turns out they're really nice. The vanilla has a nice deep and natural vanilla flavouring, it is a nice indulgent thickness whilst not being too thick and it's not too sweet. Very creamy tasting.

Calippo Bubble Gum Flavour Review
I was very surprised to see the addition of Bubble Gum flavour to the Calippo arsenal, but excited too. I got this for £1.89 which seems very expensive...and is certainly not RRP, I would guess! Anyway, we cracked it open and the smell is very strong. It's got an almost slightly mellowed bubblegum flavour which is nice, as I explain in the video, bubblegum that you've chewed for a few seconds so the initial flavour is gone. It's very sweet, but it is very refreshing. Good product.

Valencia Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets Review
When I went to Costco for the first time recently, my eyes lit up when I saw this gigantic container of delight before me. Had I died and entered the pearly white gates? No, these actually exist. "Valencia Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets" it sounded like the culmination of every great thing on this Earth. I was very excited to try them for the first time. Funnily enough it wasn't the flavour that hit me first, it was the instant removal of liquid from my mouth - these are the dryest things you could ever eat. It's salty, a satisfying texture, slightly sweet and deep peanut butter and it munches down into a glorious concoction. Highly recommended.

Reese's Crispy Crunchy Review
This is a super sweet, super nutty, rich chocolate bar. It's got crispy peanut butter flavour sugary crystallised kind of candy, peanut butter and nuts. It's almost too much! Very Reese's-ey. Check out the video for full details.

Skittles Wild Berry Milkshake Review
I was surprised to see this new flavour of Skittles Milkshake in the supermarket the other day, and....a bit excited. The Skittles milkshake was the first product I reviewed on FRUK. I opened the lid and the aroma hit me immediately, very sweet berry smell, and reminiscent of the wild berry Skittles themselves. The taste is really good, a nice balance of different berry flavours that all work really well together! Check out the video for the full review.

Walkers Market Deli Tortilla Chips Anglesey Sea Salt With Cracked Black Pepper Review
What a disappointing product! Tortilla Chips themselves are very low quality. The actual flavouring is definitely poor. It's disappointing that they put such a poor flavour behind such fancy packaging and wording. It contains Anglesey Sea Salt - not that you'd know it. So this product that has such a long title is far FAR worse than Kettle Tortilla Chips Sea Salt which doesn't hide behind fancy sounding names and is just very good with very few, simple ingredients. Wasn't keen on this at all, tastes cheap and low quality.

Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Challenge
David and Claire take on the Jelly Belly Beanboozled challenge! Disgusting flavours of jelly beans (or nice ones) await them!

Dominos Nachos Review
Dominos have introduced a number of new products....this coincides with the World Cup but I'm not sure if they are limited time items. The Nachos are actually pretty good! I really like the light spicing and flavouring on the tortilla chips themselves, it has a nice cajun flavour, quite light but a nice zest of lime and spicyness. The texture is very nice, firm and warm and almost with a nice bakey texture, and the cheese and tomato work well with it. Pretty good! Check out the video for full thoughts.

Reese's Fast Break Review
Thank you very much to friend and star of Food Review UK, Sir David Flavin for providing a big old bag of goodies to munch our (my) way through. First up is Reese's Fast Break, which contains peanuts, peanut butter, nougat and is covered in chocolate. This bar, like a lot of Reese's products is really rich, but it's also absolutely delicious. Very sweet and with quite a mouth covering texture, it feels very much like a treat eating it. Check out the video for full thoughts.

Fake Oreo Showdown!
Claire and I review four different attempts at the popular Oreo cookie/biscuit. The results are surprising on which one is the best! They range from the premium product from M&S to the crazy O2 from the likes of B&M bargains. Check out the video above!

Cherry Twizzlers Review
The lads banter lads are back! We review the cherry Twizzlers sweety, which is like red licorice. The flavour is....a bit strange. Quite artificial tasting and it seems to have taken on the flavour of the plastic packaging. Not super amazing or impressed with this one!

Costco Pepperoni Pizza Review
I could not believe how good this pizza was! One slice is massive and reasonably priced (about £1.35 ish), the flavour was fantastic, good quality pepperoni, delicious cheese and the dough tasted unbelievably airy and fresh. One of the best pizzas I have ever had in the UK. Watch the video for full thoughts.
Cadbury Caramel Doughnuts Review
The Cadbury Caramel doughnuts are available in supermarkets - I've seen them in ASDA and Morrisons so far. They look very appealing and they have got a pretty nice texture. The caramel centre is ample and has a velvety caramel texture. Not too bad but don't live up to the Cadbury name. Check out the video!
