00:00 Hi everyone, I'm Catherine from Sussex World. Today I'm bringing you quite a few sweet treats
00:07 for Halloween. Our friends at Piglet's Pantry, a handcrafted bakery delivery service based
00:12 in Worthing, have kindly sent us a couple of bits from their Halloween range to try,
00:18 as well as their new letterbox brownies. I'll go right in and start with the Halloween cookie
00:25 sandwich. It looks delicious, two chocolate cookies filled with orange ganache in the
00:31 middle, as you can see as well, just on my plate. A little Halloween decoration on it
00:36 as well with the eyeball. So let me try that one. Oh, it feels really soft. That's yummy.
00:49 The cookie's not dry at all, and then with the ganache filling in the middle, it's really,
00:55 really nice. Quite dense, going to be quite filling, but that's not a problem for me.
01:04 Just got a really big chocolate chip in there as well. Yum. Then with the Halloween cupcakes,
01:11 you can see in front of me, you get six in a box. You get two of the orange ghost, two
01:18 of the purple cat, and two of the black ones with the eyeball on. I believe they're all
01:24 chocolate cupcakes as well. So I'm going to dig into one. Let's go with the cat. Take
01:32 a look. So you've got the cat decoration as well, lots of buttercream, some of the little
01:37 jewels on top as well. Let's cut into this. Wow, lots of buttercream, which is great.
01:50 I'm a massive fan. It's really light. It is very sweet, but not so much so that you couldn't
02:05 finish a cupcake. I definitely could. I could probably eat two, to be honest. It's really
02:08 nice. They look great on any Halloween table. Really nicely decorated. Okay, now I'm going
02:17 to have a little try of a couple of the brownies and blondies that they sent me. So in this
02:22 box here, that will come, you get two salted caramel pretzel brownies, two passion fruit
02:32 brownies, which is that one, and two raspberry ripple blondies here in the middle. It's hard
02:37 to know which one to try first, but I'm a massive salted caramel fan and that's closest.
02:42 So maybe I'll go with that one. Okay, let's have a little bite. Oh, that feels really
02:52 moist. Oh, and gooey in the middle as well. I don't know if you can see that, but it looks
03:04 delicious. I love that. The first bit I got was a little bit, almost a savory hit because
03:10 of the pretzel, but the sweet kicked in straight away, which is really nice. I love that combination.
03:17 It's really gooey in the middle. Really good. So that one, first ones are here. Let's have
03:23 a little try of the blondie. It smells nice. That's really nice too. It's not quite as
03:40 sweet. It's still a really nice flavour and definitely like at the end I'm getting the
03:46 raspberry come through, which is great. And then finally, dig it out, is this really pretty
03:57 passion fruit one. So let's give it a go. If I can get into it. My plate's building
04:06 up here with trees. Not a bad thing. I've lost a little chocolate button there. Oh,
04:18 wow. That's really nice. Oh, wow. It's really zingy. I wasn't expecting it to be quite so
04:26 passion fruity, but it's really nice. You get the kind of bitter kind of taste of dark
04:30 chocolate at the end, but first off you get the passion fruit in your mouth and it's really
04:34 nice. I know it sounds weird because it's kind of coming into autumn, but it actually
04:38 just tastes quite summery, which is really nice on a sunny day like today as well. Piglet's
04:46 Pantry has also launched a range of freak shake blondies and cupcakes as well, which
04:51 are also now available on their website. And also they've got a new range of berry cupcakes
04:56 too for anyone looking for anything else a bit fruity. Yeah. So thank you to them for
05:02 sending me all these delicious treats. They were so yummy and really got me in the Halloween
05:06 spirit. So thanks very much, everyone. I'll see you again soon. Bye.
