Advantages: Taste and low price

Disadvantages: None really

The other day I was having some ice cream and my Dad asked me if i wanted any chocolate sauce to go with it as there was a bottle that had been standing there untouched for ages. I said 'no I think I'm a bit old for that now' really associating ice cream sauce with jellies and the like. I changed my mind a few minutes later and thought I'd try some just out of curiosity.

Askeys do five different flavours; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, strawberry, maple and toffee. The one we have and I am guessing the most popular of the bunch is the milk chocolate. All of them come in a dark blue bottle with easy flip lid and then the rest of the bottle is coloured according to the flavour. A bottle contains 325grams and will last for a long time in the cupboard.

It comes out a rich brown colour and is markedly thicker than rival versions which are obviously quite thin in comparison. It also smells delicious. I was very surprised when I tasted it that it was that nice. Most companies that are not chocolate companies struggle to make realistic chocolate flavoured products. It's quite creamy and rich which means too much could cause stomache upsets for little ones who overdid it. I also feel that as it is quite sticky the need to brush teeth thoroughly after eating it is very much there. However, it tasted lovely and very realistic and really 'brightened up' my bowl of ice-cream. I would tend to use this on a plain vanilla ice cream or something and personally not on a luxury brand like carte d'or or haagen daaz or something because their ice-cream is quite flavoured already.

Delicious and at a £1 a real bargain!

Summary: Great item to have in the cupboard
