If you haven’t had a raspberry ‘Ruffle’ bar before, you have not lived. They have been one of my favourite treats since childhood, and back in the days I remember filling my Pick ’n’ Mix bag with these things. The best thing is they are vegan too!
They say three’s a crowd but that’s not the case with Ruffles, which are made with three of my most favourite things – coconut, raspberries and chocolate. They’re sweet, rich and fruity all at the same time, and so damn delicious!
