Food Review: Raspberry Ruffle Bars by Jameson's

Raspberry ruffles have been adored by scores of British children over the years (me included). They consist of a raspberry coconut fondant cream encased in tasty dark chocolate. For those who wish to step back in time to relive their childhood trips to the sweet shop on the way home from school, or for those willing to try something new, Raspberry Ruffle Bars by Jameson's are sure to please.
