Freddo

alrighties, let's get down to the real first post, shall we?
today's post is going to be about....freddo!

for the uninitiated, freddo is a cadbury product—chocolate frogs in a variety of flavours: plain, strawberry, white chocolate, peppermint, and even crunchie, much to the delight of M.

my favourites are strawberry and peppermint. (just in case you're ever stuck for ideas regarding what to get me for my birthday/christmas)
sadly, though, they're hell to find in Singapore. the only ones that are more or less easily available here are the plain and white ones. te strawberry ones and the peppermint, i've only seen at Candy Empire's pick-n-mix. and it's bleddy expensive. about 75cents for one chocolate frog. but they're damned yummy.
we all know what cadbury's milk chocolate tastes like, but imagine it paired with sweet, gooey strawberry creme. mmm. something about that fake-strawberry taste brings out a lovely buttery taste in the chocolate.
and the peppermint. this is good because it is so minty. no pansy-assed faint mintiness for freddo, no indeedy. the filling is lovely and oozy and oh so pepperminty. perfect foil to the chocolate. mm.
another plus for me is the way the freddos look. i like to break off the head and eat it first, and when you do that, you see the bright green or pink filling oozing gently out of the middle, contrasting with the brown of the chocolate. pretty.

in celebration of finding my freddos (the last time i went, Candy Empire was out) i've bought some this week, so if you're reaaaaaaaallly nice to me, i might just share. (might only ah, don't say i promised!)
