Advantages: cheap, good for kids parties

Disadvantages: high sugar content, breaks up too easily

This is a cheap product, it costs just 15 pence for a roll.
It has less calories than the more expensive swiss rolls, with only 276 calories per 100 grams.
When I had opened the plastic wrapping, the smell of chocolate didnt jump out on me, but it was a dark brown colour

It has a very sweet taste to it, but I think this is because it uses a glucose syrup instead of normal sucrose type sugar.
On its own I am not really a fan of it, but it tastes ok with either vanilla or chocolate ice cream on top.
I havent tried it with custard but I dont see why It wouldnt be nice.

Its ok, to give the kids every now and then for a cheap treat, or to even have at parties.

The trouble I find is it is always squashed when out on the shelves at asda , I dont know if its because of the way its packed or because its a very brittle product.

Summary: A cheap chocolate treat, especially for kids
