Checking out - Baguettes with herb butter!

Product Nr.2

Today I would like to preset to you a product that i really like eating and I feel like a lot of people buy it because it looks so yummy on the plastic cover. And this is how you see it in the store:


Look at all the creamy filling ... WOW! You see it in the store and think, oh I gotta try this! And then you buy it!
But then you get home and unwrap it, put it in the oven and wait 15 minutes on 180 degrees and on re-circulation.
After the 15 minutes you realize it's not enough and set another 15 minutes.
After 30 minutes you finally get it out and start comparing it to the image ....




I don't see any cream coming out... I don't see the gold brown bread ...

Now let's look inside and compare..

It's a huge difference, don't you think?
I will not post any name of the brand because to tell you frankly, I have tried out several baguettes with herb butter and they all have the same amount of butter and same images more or less.
Funny thing is they also all taste exactly the same so it makes you think that they buy it from the same place, put their logos on and the price depending on the brand and that's it ...

The smell while it is in the oven is really inviting and the taste is really good!
Nevertheless I know people who don't like it, because among the herbs there's also garlic.

Basically they got what they wanted, I bought it! And I will still buy it again ( guess it's already too late for me now) but find it sad that the images need to be pimped that much!
It will get only 5 out of 10 stars!

Checking out - the muffins from the box!



Product Nr.1


I have tried this product from my favorite sweets company: Milka.


Never baked something all by my own before.


So first, this is how the end product looks like on the box:






Now let’s see how it looks like when it’s done, and most especially if it tasted as good as it looks like on the box. You know that we are eating with the eyes as well.


This is what’s inside the box:




You just need to add melted butter, milk and an egg. Even I, as an absolute baking beginner could handle that. The instructions are easy to follow.


After everything is mixed and filled into the muffin cups it looks like this:




Pretty yummy, right?

And the final result:




Not exactly as on the box cover but as I said, I am an absolute baking beginner and blame the end result on me.


While they were inside the oven it smelled so good and the taste is even better as long as they are fresh. The second day not so yummy anymore so eat them while they are fresh. I think that if you taste one, you cannot help but eating them all.


I truly recommend this product and give it 9 out of 10 stars!


Thanks Milka!
