Sainsburys chocolate spread with popping candy!

jap200

Found this in Sainsbury (own brand) and persuaded to buy it by my son who was with me.

It's not on special offer or anything (£1.69 a jar), but is such a wierd, but rather lovely thing - definately worth a go! It made me nostalgic for the 'space dust' that first came out in the 1980s!

We had it on warm crumpets, but I can also imagine it as filling for a chocolate sponge cake - or topping for fairy cakes.

Any other ideas?

Also a coconut chocolate spread as well. I love Bounty bars. Imagine spreading that on your warm crumpets.

How about as an ice-cream sauce? The Crunchie lollies have popping candy in their chocolate coating and they're lovely.

Sainsburys also do an orange flavour spread too, the popping candy is quite nice, it pops but not ever so much. Bet it would be nice in a cake. Also noticed other day that nearest sainsburys have started selling teh 3 spreads which means i dont need to go to anotehr store.

before I go looking for these, Sainburys not my local, can anyone tell me if these spreads have hazelnut in them? I'm allergic and it would save me the trip. thanks in advance
