New Covent Garden Soup Pumpkin Ghoulash: I've been waiting for the Halloween themed soup from New Covent Garden to appear instore and it's great to see that it's once again pumpkin inspired. This Pumpkin Ghoulash soup is a vegetable soup made with tomatoes, carrots, pumpkin, red and green peppers, and smoked paprika. I don't think I tried this one when it was around in previous years but I've already bought a pack this time. Review coming soon. £1.50p at Sainsbury's.
Sainsbury's Cappuccino Swiss Roll: I couldn't quite get a decent photo of this but it looked interesting - a cappuccino flavoured sponge roll. £1.50p at Sainsbury's.
A big thank you to Lucy W. who sent me some the following photos of products that she spotted instore and also a few that she bought. Thanks Lucy!
Tesco Salted Caramel Chocolate Chunk Muffins: Tesco has a new range of muffins in a few different flavours. The muffins come in packs of two for £1.50p which is quite expensive for supermarket branded muffins. They look good though, especially with their coffee-house style brown muffin wraps, and I'm keen to try this Salted Caramel variety.
Tesco Raspberry & White Chocolate Muffins: I like the sound of this flavor too! Lucy also spotted Lemon & Poppy Seed and Mississippi Mud Pie flavours in this range. Also £1.50p for a twinpack at Tesco.
Philadelphia Duo Cremoso: Available in three varieties: Garlic & Fine Herbs, Vine Ripened Tomato, and Cracked Peppercorn. The Duo Cremoso range has a dual texture with creamy Philadelphia on the outside and a softly whipped flavoured center. £2.50p at Tesco.
Tesco Gingerbread Cupcakes: I remember buying these last year but I didn't actually review them. They're gingerbread flavoured cupcakes with a gooey sauce center. They reminded me of a similar gingerbread cupcake that appears in Costa Coffee around Christmas time.
Gü Hot Chocolate: These new ready made hot chocolates from dessert makers Gü are currently on a 2 for £3.00p offer in Tesco. There are three varieties of hot chocolate: Gü Mocha, Gü Chocolate, and Gü Salted Caramel.
Gü Maple & Pecan Pies: Mr. Grocery Gems is a fan of pecan pie so I'll be tracking down this dessert version from Gü for him. £3.00p at Sainsbury's.
Gü Hot White Chocolate Melting Middles: These are coconut and white chocolate! Yes, pretty much my dream combination. I love the idea of the melting middle too.
Gü Salted Caramel Melting Middles: And if coconut is not your thing then there is also this Salted Caramel version. I'm still fully onboard with the salted caramel trend, and it doesn't look like it'll be ending any time soon...
M&S Salted Caramel Brownie Slices: These look good too! I love the idea of a salted caramel and brownie combination.
M&S Tiramisu Cream Liqueur: Oooh this is like Bailey's meets dessert! I think M&S will be selling a lot of these in the run up to Christmas. If you've tried this one then I'd love to hear from you in the comments!
Thanks again Lucy for all the brilliant photos!
Now for a few products that should be available instore soon:
Ready Brek Gingerbread: My kids pretty much start every day with a bowl of Ready Brek and even though I don't usually buy the flavoured versions, I'll have to make an exception for this Gingerbread variety - it just sounds so warming! £1.99 at Tesco.
Walls Gingerbread Sandwich: This gingerbread ice cream sandwich looks awesome. If you spot these instore anywhere then please let me know! Oreo Chocolate Ice Cream Cones with Oreo Biscuit Pieces: I really enjoyed the original vanilla version of these cones. Asda now has these new chocolate versions in store for £1.50.
