Advantages: Delicious, sweet

Disadvantages: perhaps too sweet for some, a little calorific

I've recently got 'into' yogurts. I needed something that would fill me up for breakfast and maybe a snack, this is where I rediscovered Muller. I am banishing (or trying to) crisps, choccies and all the bad things, so first was Muller rice - see other reviews, but now - well since all the stores have caught on that I am buying them they are running lots of promotions, so they are not over 50p each.

The Muller range yogurt, corners and rice are all on offer at Tesco - 8 for £2, Sainsbury's - 4 for £2, Morrison's - Buy 4 get 4 free, usually it is Muller that hold these promotions, so they are probably on at every supermarket.

I remember when Muller corners were introduced to the UK back in the 90's, they were a new way of doing yogurt, they made it a little bit more interesting and exciting, at first with fruit, then biscuits and crumble, I saw on TV the other day they have introduced chocolate. The list goes on.

The Rhubarb Crumble variety which passed my sweet teeth last night is part of the crunch variety. This pack is 150g and is described as Rhubarb compote with a custard style yogurt and butter crumble.

I open the pack and yes, I get to lick the lid of life. Yum. Upon first inspection the yogurt is a off white colour, the 'crumble' a golden colour. Where is the rhubarb?
I tip all of the crumble into the yogurt side and knock on it until every last crumb is out. I raise my spoon in glee and I go straight through the topping, through the plain yogurt and straight to the pink 'compote'. That, is the rhubarb! So I have a lovely mix of all elements of the yogurt and without a second thought it goes straight in my mouth. Oops, I swallowed enjoying the sweet taste on my tongue without remembering what it tasted like. I'll have to go again.

~Crumble~
The crumble is light and golden in colour; it reminds me more of finely crushed biscuit that any crumble I have eaten (which I like in chunkier clumps). It is, however, buttery and crunchy.

~Yogurt~

The custard style yogurt is creamier and less 'tart' that the normal fruit corner yogurt. I think this is to give more of an impression of a luxury dessert. It is smooth, tasty and mixes well with the compote and the crumble.

~Compote~

The compote is hidden underneath the plain yogurt. This compote is thicker than a puree, but not as thick as you would find in a real rhubarb crumble. It is very sweet tasting, and not the slightly sour taste you get from real rhubarb, this is fine, if a little sweet, but mixes well with the crumble and yogurt.

~The Verdict~

This is a lovely after dinner dessert. However at 158 calories for 100g, possibly a little more calories than I would have on a daily basis for a treat. It tasted really good if possibly a little too sweet (but I love too sweet things!) But I did enjoy it. For someone who likes yogurt but not particularly sweet things will probably not enjoy this.
Muller pride themselves on having no preservatives or artificial colours in their products and providing some of your RDA (recommended daily allowance) of calcium.
One thing I didn't know was that the shape of the 'corner' twin pot is a trademark of Muller, so the other brands who do cheaper versions of this yogurt will have a slightly different pot!

Summary: Yummy dessert any time of the day!
