For mini review Sunday M&S seem to have released a number of these snack bars in the last couple of weeks, from millionaires shortbread to brownies, my local store seems to be filled with them! They are even on 2 for £2!

Honeycomb always speaks to me and so I picked this up to try! I was most certainly not let down! Very much like a luxury version of a crispy cake, these bars have honeycomb which is very similar texture to what you would find in a crunchie. The bar had a good crunch overall and was not packed with hard to get through solid chocolate. Light and airy, this bar had not gone soggy or like a rock, which can be an issue with crispy cakes! There was a hint of caramel to this bar which added some extra interest. Described on the back of the pack as puffed rice and honeycomb covered in milk chocolate and caramel, topped with chocolate drizzle. Which really is all there is to say about this bar. That is exactly how it tastes.

This bar is surprisingly 237 calories, which I personally wouldn't expect from a crispy treat as they tend to be something you would give to children or something I would consider as a lighter cake option. With 22.3g of sugar  and 9.5g of fat in this bar alone, this is most certainly something you do not want to be eating daily, but is a fantastic Friday treat!

This bar does contain milk and soya, but seems to not contain egg, although not claiming to be egg free. It is also not suitable for nut allergy sufferers due to manufacturing methods.

A quick review to say as this product is quite simple, but delicious, I would recommend giving them a go. I am hoping that M&S may make these in the bitesize tubs like the millionaire's crispies as I think they will great on a buffet table and a treat not just us gluten free lot would enjoy! This way it would save me cutting up the bars!

Halloween means one thing... Lots of naughty treats! So today I have made some chocolate crispy's and chocolate and marshmallow crispy's for my youth groups halloween party tomorrow, but as this is me and I want a nibble too I have substituted ingredients for a gluten free diet!

This is a super simple recipe I would have thought you all have done before but just incase here is what I did.

• One large bar of chocolate - half a bar for each recipe
• Nestle gluten free cornflakes 
• Mini Marshmallows
• Any decoration or chocolate chips, fudge chunks, glace cherries etc. of your choice

Chocolate crispy's are simple, melt the chocolate throw in the gluten free cornflakes divide into some cute cases and hey presto!

For the marshmallow version add in some marshmallows to melt down with the chocolate then mix in the cornflakes, this will be tricky as there is a very gooey consistency to this mixture, you can always add some water or milk to thin this down.

Throw in some whole mini marshmallows and chopped glace cherries or any other treat at this point for a twist to either mixture.

I spooned both mixtures into some cute halloween cupcake cases I found in Ikea for £1 and added some marshmallows on top of the marshmallow mix so those who are vegetarian know not to eat them!

Crispy cakes are quick and simple and you can even make these dairy free or vegan by substituting the chocolate for a dairy free alternative as well as any other ingredient which may not fit your diet.

Who said dietary requirements have to make life boring!
