deconstructing enrobed mallows...

Jam teacakes: 20 £0.95, yes that's right less than one british pound for 20 mallows....


'Real milk chocolate ENROBED mallows on a biuscuit base with a splodge of real jam'

Despite the illustration showing a 5 inch mallow monstrosity we were somewhat dissapointed to discover that the teacakes were in fact closer to the size of a stamp. Nevertheless, we decided to proceed with this mallow-tastic taste test experience...

Lesley commented that 'the base is too dry and it tastes better disassembeld'. Although, she is well known for being a dis-assembling-phile. The teacakes were not bad but the choclatey enrobedment was rather disappointing, more of a light covering some might say. Both myself and Lesley decided that the teacake could do with a little more jam. Paul maintains that he found the mallows irresitable despite the fact that they were rather dry on the mallow front.

Nevertheless, these teacakes were decidedly moreish and whilst this journalistic jewel was being written 5 were consumed in the office. Overall the biscuit based mallows proved to be a satisfacory afternoon snack and for a mere 95 pence are definitely value for money. Just remember not to be taken in by the misleading illustration on the packet.
