Advantages: blue is back with no artificial flavourings

Disadvantages: i preferred the tube packets with a pop off plastic top

Smarties...small round chocolates with a crisp colourful shell of sugar-coating. I have been known to munch a pack occasionally but mostly buy them for little man these days.

I much preferred them when they came in a round tube (they did when i was a kid) now days they come in a hexagonal type entirely cardboard package - no pop off plastic top like in the good old days. I paid 45 pence for some yesterday from the corner shop. (grr...the same shop which sells lucozade sport and walkers crisps bearing the legend ' part of a multi pack NOT to be sold separately ' but that's another story...lol)

Well in your pack you will discover Red ones, orange ones, green ones, purple ones, pink ones and brown ones.....and BLUE ones. Yes Blue ones now with no artificial colourings which has got to be a good thing.

All the smarties taste the same (apart from orange always used to taste of orange to me...like a faint terrys chocolate orange flavour I didn't get a look in yesterday apart from stealing a couple of blue ones so can't say if they still do !)

They are sweet and have a satisfying crunch when you chomp on them and the chocolate itself is nice and chocolatey - not the most delicious chocolate in the world but is good nevertheless.

My little guy does the same as I used to, sorts them out into piles by colour then counts them and devours them a pile at a time starting with whatever colour theres the most of - is this genetic because he's never seen me do it ?

If your looking for a colourful sweet sugar hit chocolate treat you can't go far wrong these days with a tube of smarties, also good for putting on top of cakes and topping of ice cream.

A favorite with my little man.

Summary: a good sweet chocolate treat
