Taste Experience of Little Hearts Classic

height and width of little heart biscuit

I am gonna open and consume this Little Hearts classic.

We can see here; the little hearts biscuits give a flat baked aroma as well slight caramel aroma (maybe from sugar).

The treat is heart in shape as seen on the pack and it is in brown as well in dull white color. The heart has three borders which has gap between each. The sugars are sprinkled all over and filled between the gaps. I can see an oily finish or more like the sugar in melted condition finish. 

If we look on the back side, it has a baked pattern.

The little hearts are rough in sense of touch and the sugar sprinkled can be felt. The treat can be broken to two halves as we have seen in little hearts advertisements.

The back side has a rough patterned texture.

I kept the biscuit in my mouth with the sugar sprinkled touching my tongue. The sugar creates a sharp sweet at random sugar crystals touching the tongue.

But it doesn’t feel the same way on the back side. The back side of the biscuit has no known taste it was flat with baked flour. From my perspective, the dough might have some sugar added but it can’t be felt.

I gave a try of biting one heart; it gives a crisp biting experience and is so good. No wonder every 90’s kid fell for it. I love it too.

The little hearts clings to the memory of my taste buds and is addicting to me. It gives the sweet taste even after consuming and asking for more, especially the sugar sprinkled side.

Little Hearts Classic ’s Ingredients
