Advantages: Cheap,tasty and suitable for veggies. They are also great for parties!

Disadvantages: They aren't fairtrade and the packaging isn't recyclable. But who's complaining!

Why do packets of nuts always have 'may contain traces of nuts' written on the ingredients? Strange. Anyway, these Asda chocolate coated peanuts are really delicious and are suitable for vegetarians (surprisingly, not all chocolate coated nuts are, especially swiss and belgian chocolate ones). These are also free from artificial colours and contain Soyabeans (which are really good for you if you are a veggie).
They cost around 67p for 200g packet but nearly every time I have been to Asda, these are always on offer (3 for 2 and such like), which is such a bonus if you have a big family or are having a party.
They taste absolutely delicious, but worse than salted nuts, these are incredibly addictive and be carefuly as it is so easy to scoff the whole bag before you know it (or maybe it's just me and my disgusting lack of will power)!
The only dispute I do have with them is that they aren't fair trade and they come in plastic (non recyclable) packaging. It would be perfect if they came in little cardboard packets like Poppets! But I won't complain too much as it is hard to find nice chocolate that is suitable for vegetarians and this definitely does pass the taste test.
