Little Debbie Nutty Bars

Little Debbie Nutty Bars

What Is It: A chocolate and peanut butter bar.

Packaging: A yellow box with a big picture of the product on it make it look pretty tasty. They also had Peanuts characters on this box which is cool.
7.5 out of 10

Taste: These are one of the more traditional and well known dessert bars and with good reason. It's delicious. It's a very simple, no frills bar. Chocolate and a crispy peanut butter center make this perfect for lunches or just a snack. Just grab a glass of milk because it's rich.

Barber Foods Chicken Cordon Bleu

Barber Foods Chicken Cordon Bleu

What Is It: A pack of two frozen chicken cordon bleu pieces meant to be oven baked.

Packaging: A simple white box with a picture of the product on it. Nothing special but gets the job done.
6 out of 10

Taste: I love chicken cordon bleu so I decided to try out these frozen ones. This was a pretty good effort here. Plenty of ham and cheese in the middle enclosed by juicy chicken. The swiss cheese really stands out here as it complements the meaty flavours very well here. Just make sure you bake this thoroughly because if any aspect of this is even a little cold it ruins the entire thing. Definitely worth a shot.

McDonalds Biscuits And Gravy

McDonalds Biscuits And Gravy

What Is It: A bowl of white gravy served with 2 biscuits. It cost me $1.99.

Presentation: It comes in a Styrofoam container with the gravy poured over the biscuits.  Not bad.
6.5 out of 10

Taste: McDonald's has a really fantastic version of this classic dish. The gravy has a really good peppery flavour to it which I love. Their biscuits are also fluffy and delicious  (not just for this meal but across the board) which adds a lot. If you're looking for a cheap, delicious breakfast this is a great option.

Doritos Taco Explosion

Doritos Taco Explosion

What Is It: This is a new item that Doritos has come up with. It's a taco inspired product. It comes with four different flavours spicy nacho, sour cream, taco, and salsa.

Packaging: This bag looks really cool. It has a fiery design on it along with the pictures of the product on it. It really makes you want to buy it.
9 out of 10

Taste: The triangular shaped salsa one's are my personal favourite as they have a tremendous amount of spice along with a great salsa flavour. My second favourite is the spiral shaped sour cream one's followed by the nacho one's and finally the taco roll things. This is a very good representation of tacos and definitely a worthy snack.

Throwback Rainbow Nerds

Throwback Rainbow Nerds

What Is It: Multicoloured and multiflavoured nerds in an old school box.

Packaging: Well the gimmick was an old-fashioned box. It looked pretty cool.
8 out of 10

Taste: Nerds are a very popular candy and with good reason. Unless you are patient enough to eat these one by one you are not going to be able to identify each different flavour but together they have an explosive taste. One thing I will say is if you have any teeth problems at all then you need to avoid these. Chewing these can be a painful experience. But all in all if you like fruity, explosive flavours then eat away.

Goldfish Grahams Smores

Goldfish Grahams Smores

What Is It: Dessert version of Goldfish crackers that are smore themed. The pack includes graham cracker and chocolate flavoured Goldfish crackers with tiny marshmallows mixed in.

Packaging: Very colourful bag that really makes these look good. I like it.
9 out of 10

Taste: I love smores but I'm always skeptical when companies try to put out snacks that replicate them because they always seem to fall flat. This wasn't  a terrible effort by any stretch. The graham cracker bites were my favourites but the chocolate and marshmallows were hood too. I never got the impression that I was eating a smore but the three components work well enough on their own to justify picking these up. Just don't abandon your campfire smores to go looking for these. Thumbs in the middle slightly tilting up.

Little Debbie Fudge Rounds

Little Debbie Fudge Rounds

What Is It: A circular shaped chocolate cake that is filled with more chocolate in the middle.

Packaging: Little Debbie never skimps on the packaging. Big delicious looking pictures of the Fudge Rounds are on the box making you more than ready to eat the whole box.
9 out of 10

Taste: These are one of the all great snack cakes. A chocolate lovers dream to be sure with ooey gooey chocolate cake filled with a gooey chocolate filling. They're not the biggest snacks out there but they're packed with flavour. Just have a glass of milk ready because they're rich.

Andy Capps Hot Fries

Andy Capps Hot Fries

What Is It: Little fry size snacks with a spicy cheese flavour.

Packaging: Very simple blue bags with some cool little artwork on it. I like it.
7.5 out of 10

Taste: This is a very unique snack. They have a tremendous spicy cheese taste to them which will get even the spiciest tongues attention  (like mine). I also like that they come in a smaller than usual bag but there are still a lot of fries in there which is good. The smaller bags means they can keep the price down on it which I definitely like (they sell about a dollar a bag). If you want a solid snack and you have a dollar  (and some change maybe) then pick these up.  Just have some napkins handy because your hands will turn orange.

McDonalds Chicken Mcnuggets Cheese Sticks Shamrock Shake

McDonalds
Chicken Mcnuggets
Cheese Sticks
Shamrock Shake

What Is It: This nuggets meal was a 10 piece one that came with sweet and sour and hot mustard sauce. The cheese sticks are a three piece that comes with marinara sauce. A Shamrock Shake is a minty shake.

Presentation: McDonald's doesn't have as cool of packaging as it used to but it isn't bad and the food looked ok.
6.5 out of 10

Taste: The nuggets are adequate on their own but with the sauces they are delicious. The sweet and sour and hot mustard are my two favourite sauces they have. The cheese sticks were about what you would expect from a McDonald's cheese stick. Not terrible  but not terrific either. Very salty flavour to them. The Shamrock Shake is delicious. If you like mint than this is definitely for you.

Butternut White Bread

Butternut White Bread

What Is It: A simple loaf of sliced white bread.

Packaging: It's hard to mistake a loaf of Butternut bread as it has a very distinctive look that I like. Blue checkers for the win.
7.5 out of 10

Taste: You might be wondering why I'm reviewing a loaf of bread but it's because I think Butternut has by far the best loaf of bread out there (not counting like delux loaves like French bread or stuff like that).
It always has a great doughy texture and always seems to taste fresh. It's perfect for toast (which is what I used this loaf for), sandwiches, spreading something on it, or pretty much anything you can think of. When it comes to white bread Butternut is my favourite.

Grasshopper Mousse Pie Blizzard

Grasshopper Mousse Pie Blizzard

What Is It: A Blizzard patterned after a Mousse Pie with a lot of mint flavour present as well.

Presentation: Come in the traditional DQ Blizzard cup. The real thing doesn't look nearly as good (or as green) as the picture.
3 out of 10

Taste: This was a Blizzard Of The Month thing so I had to try it out. It was a very mint heavy ice cream which isn't a bad thing in my world. There was plenty of chocolate present as well but the mint was the star. If you like mint than you should get this for as long as they have it.
