Happy haselnuss to you!


At one scottish pound and thirty nine pence this was undeniably good value for 400grams of sugared goodness. I was particularly impressed with the photo on the front, although I was glad that the bag consisted of hazlenut rolls, rather than hazlenuts and rolls as the picture suggests. I liked the fact that the original German name 'Haselnuss-Roellchen' was kept - clearly a reflection of the bilingual shoppers that the store attracts.

The rolls were a sensous delight: crunchy shell with a tasy smooth hazelnut mousse-like filling. The only danger being that they were so appetsising that I devoured 6 or 7 in a few minutes. These were very sweet and maybe a little too sugary for some tasters. One of the selling points that the haselnuss-roellchen photographer missed out on was the diversity of these dessert snacks. They would make an ideal accompniment to ice cream or chocolate sauce, that being said they taste equally good as a cheeky chocolate snackette.

Overall, these are nice light biscuits and would go well with a glass of buickfast as part of a sophisticated evening treat. Well done lidl...Widl.

how did you manage to take a photo which makes my end of the office look anything other than a disaster area?

we had the haselnuss rolls at our research group seminar series last week (along with the mini snowballs). they went down well, with more than one seminar-goer remarking that we had good biscuits for a change.

i'm catering the seminar from lidl this week too.
