Title: Mars Skittles Chocolate Mix
Post by: paulham on May 24, 2008, 11:04:07 am: http://www.cybercandy.co.uk/aaasmt/index.php/url_indprod/xlc_3782/Mars%20Skittles%20Chocolate%20Mix.html

Can't see the different flavours. Good to see "artifical and natural flavours" included.

Post by: goldencup on June 02, 2008, 08:45:39 am: How rude of them. I hope you ate them yourself (the M & Ms, not the friends!) I had to be dragged out of that shop too.

I hope they live up to your expectations.
Title: Re: Mars Skittles Chocolate Mix
Post by: Jim@Chocolatemission on July 29, 2008, 10:19:04 am: Right I tried these last night and HERE is the review (http://www.chocolatemission.net/2008/07/july-29th-skittles-chocolate-mix.html) if you care to read.

If you cant be arsed to read it - in short I thought they were largely disappointing. The only real flavours I enjoyed and thought lived up to their billing were the brownie batter and s'more flavours.

Post by: loulou on July 29, 2008, 07:25:21 pm: Did you try putting them all in your mouth at once?
Title: Re: Mars Skittles Chocolate Mix
Post by: paulham on July 29, 2008, 07:39:26 pm: Brown coloured skittles that taste rubbish.
Rebrand?
Skitters!

I did indeed try all the flavours in one mouthful...the most distinguishable flavour was from the brownie batter - though the sickeningly sweet vanilla did come through aswell....to be honest though it was just a mish mash of sweet flavours...not the best product ever eh!

My site is still remarkably rubbish given the effort I put in ...something Paulham frequently reminds me of :)

Post by: paulham on August 05, 2008, 05:26:03 pm: When did I ever say it was rubbish?
I may have said crap but never rubbish.
Title: Re: Mars Skittles Chocolate Mix
Post by: loulou on August 05, 2008, 08:34:22 pm: I wouldn't like zagnut as i am not a peanut butter fan. The toasted coconut top sounds nice though,

Post by: Jim@Chocolatemission on August 05, 2008, 08:43:46 pm: paulham - many apologies for mis quouting you ;) god im terrible!

Lou - :O :O :O how can you not like PB! What a terrible thing to say :)
Title: Re: Mars Skittles Chocolate Mix
Post by: goldencup on August 06, 2008, 08:30:16 am: There are one or two others here who are not exactly PB fans.
Title: Re: Mars Skittles Chocolate Mix
Post by: smurfboy on August 06, 2008, 02:38:20 pm: I keep getting confused when you type PB as it's the shorthand for the website I write for - I keep getting ready to launch into a defence of it!

I love peanut butter in chocolate.

I love peanut butter in chocolate.

I too enjoy it, but only if it's done right.
Here in the States, we have Resee's cups which have INCREDIBLY dry peanut butter inside.
The cups themselves aren't terrible, but it's that chalky peanut butter that ruins it all.
