Love Chin Chin | Product Review

This is an exciting post for me, as it’s the first time I’ve ever reviewed a food product* – and boy, is it an interesting one! Love Chin Chin is a range of West African sweet snacks with the textural crunch of a biscuit and taste of a cake. Now, I was pretty sceptical of that upon first reading up on Chin Chin, but I have to say they really do deliver on that promise, but I’ll get to that.

What are chin chin?

Chin chin are traditionally a hugely popular family snack in West African communities, which is how Love Chin Chin began. These family favourites were soon developed into a food product for larger markets after winning over neighbours and friends within the family’s community. The sweet snacks come in four flavours: Chilli, Lemon, Vanilla and Cinnamon. Each is packaged within a different bag to represent its flavour, and even better are made completely from natural ingredients to create the ideal snack that hits the sweet spot!

How do they taste?

After munching my way through each of the flavours I have to say cinnamon was absolutely my favourite. Not too sweet, and the perfect flavour to reflect the change of seasons with its warming spice; it made a mean accompaniment with my usual flat white.

Following the cinnamon, I’d have to say the chilli were also a winner for me. The unusual combination of sweet cakiness, chased up with a little fiery kick actually works really well and creates a very moreish snack!

The lemon and vanilla Chin Chin do absolutely taste like cake, something I’ve never experienced in a biscuity snack before and even reminding me of licking cake mix from a wooden spoon. However, as a snack I found these two just a little too sweet for my liking – although I can’t deny I still found myself reaching for the bags, but then I never did know my limits with food🙈
