Whole Earth Product Review...


I have just been sent this parcel full of yummy Whole Earth products to review.

As a big fan of their Peanut Butter I was really looking forward to trying the chocolate spreads.

Whole Earth began as a little company with big ideas about offering more natural, healthier food over 40 years ago. They believe healthy food should not be a punishment and with natural ingredients you don't need artificial flavours.



The Whole Earth company food range now includes:

  • Peanut butter
  • Chocolate spreads 
  • Cereals
  • Drinks
  • Snacks
  • Baked beans Ketchup and
  • Coffee alternatives.

The chocolate spread range is Dark Chocolate,Caramel and Chocolate Swirl,Milk chocolate,smooth Hazelnut and Crunchy Hazelnut.

Dark Chocolate:
  • 100% Natural ingredients.
  • Dark chocolate is not something we usually eat in our family but trying to be more healthy it is something we are considering changing too. I am sure if you like dark chocolate you would love this but it's not yet something I am a really big fan of.....
Crunchy Hazelnut:
  • 100% Natural Ingredients.
  • Now this is more to my liking, I love the taste of this and I could imagine the smooth hazelnut one would be even tastier
Caramel and Chocolate swirl:
  • 100% Natural ingredients.
  • Wow love this,possibly my favourite one of all. Sweet,very sweet (although still natural) just how I like it and the kids love this one too :( in fact I am starting to think maybe they like it too much as this disappears every time I go into the kitchen.).
I love chocolate spread on:
1.) Cinnamon Raisin Bagels.
2.) Thick Uncut Bread.
3.) Digestive Biscuit.
4.) Cream Cracker.



The Peanut butter range is Original Crunchy,Original Smooth,Organic Crunchy,Organic Smooth.

I tried a rival peanut butter a few years ago as my husband liked it as a child. However I found it far too sweet sugary and sickly. So never put it in the shopping trolley again.

When I saw the new Whole Earth Peanut butter on the shelf when shopping with my husband I said "go on then we will give it a go"

Although I had no intention of trying it. After it was in our cupboard for a few days, I tried a small amount on my finger and surprisingly loved it from the first taste.

It tasted so yummy not too sugary!! It hit all the buttons, I have loved it ever since.

 All the family now have it and even my eldest son who is a fitness fanatic raves about the ingredients and the health benefits and calls it a "super food".

I had not tried the nutty one until this and I really think it tastes better than the smooth one.

I love peanut butter on:1.)Toast.
2.) Bread.
3.) Pieces of apple.

I also made some yummy peanut butter cookies from the crunchy one this weekend....
