Giant Milkybar Buttons

New Milkybar Giant Buttons - in share size packs.

When Emma was a baby we used to feed her Milkybar as she loved it - actually 'Daddy' used to eat most of it and give poor baby Emma a tiny bit to suck on then spit down her chin. 
At that time we thought that as a sweet treat Milkybar was the best brand for baby but since 2008, Milkybar has been made using only natural ingredients. The chocolate is naturally free from colours and preservatives and free from artificial flavours ... so it means its even better for you!

Milkybar buttons are now giant which means that each button is now around twice (possibly 3 times) the size of the regular buttons ... they are available in share size bags (which we all know that my my house the sharing part just isn't going to happen), a 14 button portion (which is whats recommended) contains 154 calories, 16.2g sugar, 8.9g fat and 5.3g saturates.   basically Milkybar is now for adults too and not just toddlers. 

At the moment on Facebook Milkybar are promoting the giant buttons by giving away free packs: http://apps.facebook.com/giantbuttons/

I like to make chocolate fairy cakes and use Giant Milkybar Buttons on the top, or bake a large chocolate cake and make a pattern on the top held on with melted milk chocolate - gorgeous !!

Each share size bag is 150g and is available from all major supermarkets in the confectionery aisle.

Nestle Retro Easter Eggs

Nestle Retro Easter Eggs

This year Nestle have brought back their iconic eggs from the 80's, all the types and styles of eggs that I remember from when I was little.

I used to get all egg-cited when someone gave me an egg as they were HUGE :) I am happy to say that in our ever-shrinking price-increasing world the size of Nestles Easter Egg's have stayed the same!

Available this Easter are a selection of Nestle's top quality confectionery as boxed Easter Eggs. All major supermarkets stock them and I think you will struggle to choose which egg to buy for who (and don't forget to tell others which egg you want too!).
The Rolo egg comes with a large hollow chocolate egg, 2 full size packets of Rolo's and a single 'last Rolo' to give to your loved one.

Emma asked me what the single Rolo was for so I told her "Its to give to the one I love most!", she looked at me confused and promptly ate it!

The Smartie Egg is Egg-sellent, it contains a Smartie mug ... how cool is that! When I was little I had a Smartie mug and I think I had a matching egg cup too. Each hollow egg is made from top quality Nestle chocolate which is smooth and creamy, remember to not get carried away and eat a whole egg in one sitting as you could feel quite sick ... but that would be your own fault for being greedy (says the girl who ate a whole egg *ahem*).

I will save the best till last!!! Not only have Nestle egg-selled themselves with their retro styled eggs they have also released a Milkybar Moo-Cow.
Its cool, according to Andy who ate the whole thing while I stuffed my face with Rolo Egg the Milkybar Cow is gorgeous.

Made from pure Milkybar its a hollow cow shaped egg covered in printed foil. Great for little ones and adults, a brilliant gift for family and friends.
Milkybar is made from 100% natural ingredients which is why mums love to give their toddler a small a treat of Milkybar - so they can now have an Easter treat too.

Nestle have really impressed me this year and I hope they bring back more versions next year. I will certainly buy them.

Available from all major supermarkets.
