I have a confession to make. When I was given the chance to review Mrs Crimble’s Mini Choc Orange Macaroons, I'd never heard of them. I was therefore surprised to learn that Mrs Crimble’s started over 20 years ago and that more than one of Mrs Crimble’s Choc Macaroons is sold every second ! Definitely time to find out what I've been missing out on all this time then !
Although these macaroons were specially created for Christmas, they fit in perfectly with the New Year healthy eating kick that many people undertake because they are a very reasonable mini size. As the manufacturers explain, they are small enough not to be sinful while being yummy enough to feel like a real treat. They are also perfectly sized for children.
I love the nickname that they have been given in the trade. They are affectionately referred to as ‘dot coms’, because they are small (like dots) and their initials are COM - Choc Orange Macaroons ! Top marks to whoever thought that one up !
Time for the all important taste test - hmmmmm ! They're deliciously light, taste really fresh and the zingy orange, exotic coconut and decadent chocolatey tastes are perfectly balanced. They taste so good that I was amazed to see that they're gluten-free so anyone suffering from Coeliac disease will absolutely love them. Juliette said they taste fluffy like eating clouds, but I don't know how she knows that ! They are slightly dry so they go really well with a cup of tea or coffee, and we can vouch for the fact that they are absolutely delicious with a mug of hot chocolate too.
Mrs Crimble’s products can be found in all good independent farm shops, health stores, delicatessens and in supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s, Asda and Tesco
