Advantages: Lovely taste, lots of texture, often on special offer

Disadvantages: 250 cals a pot, expensive if not on special offer, not every shop stocks this flavour

There seems to be a bit of confusion over the actual name of these yogurts, which can be a bit of a pain if you're trying to do an online shop! On the lid, it gives the full title of Alabama Chocolate Fudge Cake, but the label on the side calls it only 'Chocolate Fudge Cake' (probably because they couldn't fit the ridiculously long title on the small label!), and it's a bit confusing if you're looking for one thing on the shelf but it's actually another. Also, not all of the supermarkets actually sell it online. My local Asda and Tesco don't even though it is available in the store.

Anyway, all that's not important in the slightest once you actually get hold of one, take it home and get the lid off it...IT'S GORGEOUS!!!

Most people are familiar with the concept of 'corner' yogurts so I won't elaborate on that, suffice to say there are two sections inside. The large section contains the yogurt. This can sometimes have a little watery stuff on top, but when you mix it in, it'a absolutely fine. When you stir up the yogurt, you discover the toffee sauce. I don't know where or how they manage to hide this, but they do! In all honesty, this sauce is probably for effect rather than anything else as they could easily have pre-mixed it, but it works - it gives a really luxurious feel to the whole dessert. On its own, the yogurt and sauce combined are very nice - like toffee yogurt but sweeter.

The best bit for me, though, is what's in the other triangle...sweeties! There are little chocolate covered biscuit balls (I think these are the same as the ones in the Muller 'Chocolate Digestive' yogurt, though I wouldn't like to say for sure) which add some crunch, as well as the obvious chocolate, to the dessert. And then there are the little chunks of fudge - these are the highlight of the whole thing for me. They're chewy and sweet, and it is these that turn this dessert into something special.

So unless you are one of these highly restrained people who eat the sections separately, the overall result is a very sweet (but not sickeningly so in my opinion), creamy yogurt with crunch bits, a little chocolate, and some chewy toffee. Yum!

Like all good things, there's a negative aspect: this is NOT going to make you thin. I really wish they could make something that tasted this good in their Light range, but at a smidgen under 250 calories per pot, it's not the one to choose if you're on a diet. But if you just want an absolutely gorgeous yogurt then you've got to try one of these.

Normally sold at around 54p in Supermarkets, look out for these when they're doing the ever-returning Muller special offers. You generally get about a month on the Best Before, so you can stock up on them safe in the knowledge that you'll certainly get through a couple of dozen of them in that time.

Summary: If you've not tried this and you like toffee - DO!
