Last year, Tesco Orchard asked its members to get their thinking caps on and come up with a new flavour of Biscuit Spread to take its place on the shelf, next to the already established, Bourbon and Custard Cream jars. Jammy Dodger was my suggestion which word has it, might be in the pipeline but for now we will have to make do with this NEW Millionaire's Shortbread Spread!
The 400g jar of caramel flavour and chocolate flavour butter biscuit swirl spread cost £1.99. Hazelnuts also make an appearance in the ingredients list which is always a winner in my book!
Nothing extraordinary struck me about the scent upon unscrewing the lid - It smelt like every other chocolate spread which wasn't particularly reassuring considering I was expecting to be in caramel heaven. Texture wise is was thick and silky smooth, making it very easy to spread although I did just eat it as is, by the spoonful! The Millionaire's Shortbread flavour was spot on in being very rich and full of cocoa flavour whilst having a strong yet sweet caramel taste which matched the chocolate perfectly - Not a smidgen of hazelnut but still absolutely divine!
Without a doubt, this is my favourite of the 3, Biscuit Spreads that Tesco have to offer - I am in actual awe! If you are a fan of Millionaire's Shortbread, I can see this going down a treat.. If not, you best stay clear as it is very rich and could easily be branded as sickly. I can't wait to see what other flavours the store comes out with.. Preferably Jammy Dodger and preferably soon please! Its a 4 out of 5 from me.
I am dubious about eating this on anything savoury. A Jammy D one would be rather intriguing though :) xx
ReplyDeleteSavoury? Like what? It goes on toast well but I wouldn't want it on a cheese roll, no haha. Jammy D all the way! :D x
DeleteHaha you never know that cheese roll concoction could be the next best thing!! What can I say I'm just not a chocolate spread on toast kinda gal xx
DeleteYou could have it in your current fave of cucumber and cheese sammies! Haha. I have to say, I do tend to eat these things from the jar more often than putting it on something :D x
DeleteYou missed out the ham! Ham cucumber and a sprinkling of cheese, literally the best sarnies ever, my one today was pretty epic haha. What am I going to do in China!! xx
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sorry! I could go for a ham, cucumber and cheese sandwich right about now actually.. :D Take supplies with you or just fill up on the sticky rice! Haha xx
DeleteReally want to try this! Sounds epic! I agree I think jammie dodger spread would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's mighty delicious! :D Fingers crossed Jammy Dodger makes an appearance soon! We could start a petition :D x
