    Anyone tried the Rolo, Kit Kat, Lion Bar toppings yet?

    I am tempted to buy some but want to see what others think of them first.

    The rolo topping is just the hollow shells (like a normal rolo without the caramel filling or the bottom piece of chocolate) so nothing to get excited about, generally they would be served with ice cream with caramel pieces in it.
    The lion bar topping is basically chocolate drops, wafer flakes, wheat flakes & rice flakes.
    The kitkat topping is like kitkats that have been chopped in a food processer quite a lot of powdery bits in there.

    All of them are suitable for mixing with ice cream as a well known fast food chain does or they could be used mixed in with or for topping cakes/mufffins etc...
    The rolo shells are the least interesting but most vesatile of the three as you have literally just got a bag of chocolate which you can melt down & use the chocolate to make numerous things.

    I wouldn't describe any of them as must have items but they are not that bad either.

    There was a few free items on there last night but I was just so tired when I ordered that I didn't write down the links anywhere and now can't remember what they were. Worth looking for anyone who likes free things though. I got 220 of those uht milk carton things for my cats for free on there a while ago.
