Jacob's Iced Gems

My future mother-in-law is a gem. Somehow she always manages to provide me exactly with what I am looking for. I tell her about my fear of flying, she comes up with Bach's Rescue Remedy. I am looking for Mr. Right, she provides me with my fiancé. I am looking for a low-calorie snack to satisfy my sweet tooth with - she comes up with … Iced Gems! ♥ The product ♥ When I first spotted these little gems in her kitchen, I was not attracted to them very much. The primarily blue and white packaging frankly looks cheap with its Tesco shopping bag-like plastic. It is decorated like ... more

As a child my lunchbox was always so boring. I mean when you look at the magazines these days they suggest putting in cherry tomatoes and hummus and home-made biscuits and things. All very well but who has the time for that? Not my mum. When I was at school my lunchbox was so boring it verged on depressing. Crackers and cheese and a KitKat or Penguin or Viscount. Not for me the little mini bags of cookies or other such delights. I was reduced to scrounging them (well they offered me) off other children. This is how I was introduced to Iced Gems. I eventually persuaded my mum to get me some but ... more

I am always on the hunt for low fat things that taste good are sweet and that can fill me up. On my search I came across an old friend, the Ice Gem. As a child I used to eat these a lot and they were one of my favourite things to find in my lunch box, and now I understand why mum used to buy them. I came across them in Tesco's while looking down the biscuit isle for something a little bit different but at the same time not too fattening. The Ice Gems immediately stood out. They come in a multi pack of 6 bags for £1.19p but can be brought singularly for around 30 pence. I was peckish on the ... more

My children love to share a packet of Iced gems, if I'm lucky or they may insist on a whole packet each which means the packet of 6 mini packets isn't going to last long. I have also been know to allow my daughter to take them to school as I feel they are better than actual sweets which are a no-go for school lunches as far as I am concerned. Anyway after getting them delivered from tesco's at a cost of 98p for a packet containing 6 individual 30g bags, I decided they could spare me one bag for me, all me and nobody but me. ***Packaging*** This particular packet came with some free stickers to ... more

I absolutely love Iced gems. Always have done, always will do. That's probably why I find myself sitting down to write this review when i should really be booking people in for their training appointments, but nevermind. *** So Why Did I Choose Iced Gems? *** I am really bad with the sweet snacks and biscuits and basically find that the bigger the packet, the happier I am because I am quite content to sit there and scoff the lot whilst I still have a great figure. However, the problem with the larger packets of biscuits, like Maryland for example, give outsiders the impression that they are to ... more
