Tunnock's Snowballs

.......You'll have to try these. I love Tunnock’s snowballs, I always have. So when Hubby bought some the other day, to have with our Sunday afternoon coffee, I thought I would write a little review about them, to share with you all! History of Tunnock’s ------------------------- Thomas Tunnock opened his first bakers shop in 1890. The business is still privately run today, and the factory is based in Uddingston, just outside Glasgow. It is a bit of a Scottish Institution now, and the products are exported all over the world.

I’m one of those annoying people who is on a diet every other week. Lucky for me, this week is an off-diet week and therefore I have been stuffing my face! My current favourite naughty snacks are Snowballs. My Snowballs of choice are Tunnock’s. Tunnock’s were established in 1890 and are said to ‘still be a family business’.

This is basically a marshmallow covered in milk chocolate and coconut shavings. It tastes like you'd imagine, except the marshmallow inside is extremely soft. It almost melts in your mouth. It is not like a marshmallow which you'd buy in a clear bag. It was very sweet of course and I did enjoy eating it....I'm required to write more on this topic, but I honestly have no more to say. It is what you see. A really soft marshmallow, in milk chocolate, and coconut shavings. There are no surprises here. You will be getting what you think you're buying, a sweet treat, that old people can digest. If ... more
