Happy New Year

I want to thank all of my readers and wish you a Happy New Year!
I will see you again in 2015 with more Candy 'n Stuff!

Oreo Birthday Cake

Today is all about me, because it is my birthday.
Many people ask me if it is hard to have a birthday this close to Christmas.
But I do not mind. I like it.



I am not gonna ramble on to much today, I just do not have the time.
These are Oreo birthday cake flavoured cookies.
And they fit really good today do you not think so?
The packaging is pretty much standard Oreo but with a big birthday cake.
They are regular sandwich cookies.



They smell alot like cake frosting, as they should.
They are very sweet.
It is almost like eating nothing but frosting.
But hey, that is ok with me.
The sprinkles are neat and crunchy.
So, once again happy birthday to me!
And no, I did not try to win the tickets...

M&M Peppermint

Tonight is the night. Santa is finally coming.
Me and Mr Red M&M is ready for him.
We have trimmed the tree, hung the Holly and put out some milk and cookies.
I think Santa will feel right at home.
And I hope he brings many gifts to me, my family and friends.



Like last Christmas eve, I have some M&M's to write about.
This year they are peppermint flavoured.
And, peppermint are candy canes so, why not!
I enjoy the packaging very much.
It has an abundans of red and white.
And I love how Reds eyebrows are incoroprated in his Santa hat.



These are, like i wrote above, peppermint flavoured.
And are based on white chocolate.
The M&M's themseleves also follow the same Christmas colour scheme, red & white.
Let me tell you, the smell a lot of peppermint.
I love that peppermint smell (and not just at Christmas).
The white chocolate is lovely and the amount of peppermint flavour is perfect.
You can tell I liked these and they put me in a blissful Christmas spirit.

To all my readers, I would like to wish a...

Apotekarnes Årsmust 2014 [Limited Edition]

Yes, they have started a new tradition.
Who are they, you ask?
Why the kind santas at Apotekarnes.
Here they are with a new special Christmas cordial.
What flavour is hidden in this years special?



The lable on the bottle looks the same as last year.
Except for the "2014", so nothing new here.
I would think that they at least could change the image on the lable or something.
I love that they have a real cork though.



The beverage smells like regular Christmas cordial.
At first i thought I tasted liqourice which was kind of weird.
Because I do not think cordial and liqourice go well together.
Up on checking the back of the bottle, I found out the secret flavour is orange.
And now that I know that it, of course, starts getting an after taste of orange.
Orange and cordial is a better mix.
And I really liked this one.
Your taste buds are a funny thing.

Starbucks Honey & Almond Hot Chocolate

It is that time of year again.
To sample the Starbucks Christmas specials.
And like last year, I was very dissapointed to see they only had one new flavour.
And it was not even coffee based.
But still, hot chocolate is a must at winter.



There is a lot of chocolate in this beverage.
Hot chocolate with chocolate whipped cream and chocolate sauce plus honey.
There is also ground almond in the beverage.
It smells alot of chocolate.
It also taste alot of chocolate. Alot.
To much for my tastes and I do not think the almond fits at all.
It tastes pretty weird and not that good.

Renskit

Let us face it, Santa is real.
And so are his reindeer.
I have the proof right here.
In the form of reindeer droppings.
Of course Santas reindeer droppings are candy.
Chocolate buttons to be precise.



The package is pretty cute.
The reindeer, which I think is Prancer, looks kind of embarrassed.
But he should not be.
He gives us nice candy.
The candy is dark chocolate buttons.
And they smell and taste like dark chocolate buttons.

JuleSkum Pepparkaka 2014

Yes! They are back.
The marshmallow Santas from Cloetta.
Who bathe themselves in different flavours every year.
Bringing delight to children of all ages.

Over the years we have had different flavours.
Candy Cane, Winter Apple and Butterscotch.
This year, they are gingerbread flavoured.



The packaging is pretty close to last years packaging.
The same brown colour, but with a gingerbread pattern.
Santa is still looking at the same gift.
He loves that gift. I wonder what is in it.



Anyway, opening the package reveals a nice gingerbread smell.
A really nice smell that makes me think of freshly baked gingerbread.
The taste is somewhat tamer.
They do taste like gingerbread, but I think it could be a more rich taste.
All in all, these are the best of the JuleSkum flavours.
Thankfully I got a second bag.
