    "content_text": "Pink Panther Wafers is a layered wafer sold on colour as much as on flavour, one hundred and fifty-four grams to the pack. It is a children's biscuit and there is no point pretending otherwise: the pink is the product, the cartoon is the reason it is asked for by name, and the wafer underneath is a light, sweet, fast-eating thing built to be picked up between other activities.\n\nJudged against what it is, it does the job. A wafer is the lightest construction in biscuit making, baked almost to nothing and carrying very little moisture of its own, so it stays crisp for a long time and gives almost no resistance under the teeth. What it is not is a biscuit for a tea break, and the honest reading of this pack is that anybody buying it for themselves rather than for a child is likely to find it thin.\n\n The Taste Profile\n\nPink coating: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) The reason the product exists. Sweet, smooth and confected, and it is carrying the flavour as well as the colour.\n\nWafer: \u25cf\u25cb\u25cb\u25cb\u25cb (1/5) Almost no flavour by design. It is structure, and in a wafer that is the correct answer rather than a shortcoming.\n\nLightness: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf (5/5) Very light. It gives way immediately and clears the mouth faster than anything else in this group.\n\nSweetness: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) High and one-note. There is nothing inside the product acting as a counterweight.\n\nTeas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.4 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk\n\n The Story Behind Pink Panther\n\nThis is a licensed character biscuit, and that is the honest description of the category rather than a criticism of it. The cartoon puts the pack in a child's hand and the colour keeps it there, and the confectionery trade has built products this way for as long as there have been characters to license.\n\nWhat is worth saying is that the wafer format is a sensible choice for it. A wafer is cheap to make, it is light enough that a child finishes one without losing interest, it stays crisp in a lunchbox, and it takes a coloured coating better than a denser biscuit does because there is so little flavour underneath to compete with. Whoever specified this product chose the right construction for the brief.\n\nThe ingredient list, the allergen advice, the count and the net weight must all be read off the current UK pack rather than taken from this page.\n\nPackaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.\n\n What You Are Actually Buying\n\nWeight: one hundred and fifty-four grams.\n\nBought for the colour: and there is no sense in dressing that up. This is a novelty wafer and the pink is the proposition.\n\nVery light: which is a genuine advantage for a child's snack and a genuine limitation for an adult one. It is over almost as soon as it starts.\n\nContains gluten: it is a wheat wafer and is not suitable for a coeliac diet. Everything else belongs to the current pack.\n\n How Does Pink Panther Wafers, 154g Compare to:\n\nBlue Riband Original Wafer Biscuit Bar Multipack, 6 Pack 108g: the grown-up version of the same idea: a wafer bar in six individually wrapped units, so it portions cleanly and travels without going soft. A better-built product.\n\nLoacker Classic Double Chocolate Wafers, 90g: the same construction taken seriously. Loacker puts cocoa in the wafer and chocolate in the cream so the layers carry flavour rather than only structure. A different product in every respect except the shape.\n\nTunnocks Milk Chocolate Caramel Wafer Biscuits Multipack, 240g: the British wafer standard, with caramel between the layers and chocolate over the outside. It is considerably more substantial.\n\n Ideal Serving Conditions\n\nThere is very little to say about serving a wafer that the wafer does not say itself, and the honest version of this section is short. It is light, it is sweet, it is eaten in a few seconds, and the main thing you can do wrong is store it badly. Humidity is the enemy of every wafer ever made, because the whole product is a dry structure surrounded by air.\n\nThe Lunchbox Serve\n\nOne is enough: the sweetness is high and one-note, and the format is small. Two in a lunchbox is a lot of sugar for very little biscuit.\n\nKeep it out of the sun: a warm coating dulls and marks whatever it touches, and a warm wafer softens surprisingly quickly.\n\nThe Grown-Up Serve\n\nIt is not one: we would rather say this plainly than pad the section out. This biscuit is not built for a tea break and does not improve for being treated as though it were.\n\nIf you are going to: black coffee rather than tea. The wafer contributes no bitterness at all, and a bitter drink at least gives the sweetness something to land against.\n\nDo not dunk it: a wafer has no crumb to wick water evenly. It takes on liquid all at once and collapses, and a collapsed wafer is an unpleasant thing.\n\nCrush it instead: a wafer is much better crushed over ice cream or set into fridge squares than it is eaten on its own with a hot drink.\n\n Getting It Right with a Hot Drink\n\nPairing: black coffee if anything. This is not a tea biscuit and there is no arguing it into being one.\n\nAvoid: hot chocolate, milkshakes and sweetened drinks. It is a sweet wafer and it needs no help.\n\nDunking: no. A wafer takes on liquid all at once and collapses; there is no window at all.\n\nStorage: airtight and dry, and this matters more than it does for a denser biscuit. A wafer is mostly air, and air in a humid room means a soft wafer within a day of opening.\n\nBest with: a lunchbox, a party table, a bowl of ice cream that wants something crushed over it, or a child who has been promised something pink.\n\n Safety And Purity\n\nIngredients and dietary suitability: Per the published ingredient list for this barcode it contains wheat (gluten) and soya. Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.\n\nNo health claim: sugar content, colours and nutrition figures are matters for the current UK pack.",

                "content": "What exactly is in the pack?A layered wafer carrying the pink coating the brand is named for, in a 154g pack. The pack itself is the place to check. How many wafers are there?What we can give you is the weight, one hundred and fifty-four grams. Can I dunk it?No, and this is one of the few biscuits where the answer is that simple. A wafer has no crumb to wick water evenly, so it takes on liquid all at once and collapses. There is no window, long or short. What should I drink with it?Black coffee if anything at all. The wafer contributes no bitterness of its own, so a bitter drink is the only thing that gives the sweetness something to land against. Hot chocolate and sweetened drinks simply double the sugar. How should I store it?Airtight and dry, and this matters more for a wafer than for a denser biscuit. A wafer is mostly air by volume, so it equilibrates with the room quickly: an open pack in a humid kitchen gives you soft wafers within a day. What makes it pink?Colours and flavourings are declared on the current UK pack and that is the only reliable source for them. How does it compare with a Blue Riband or a Tunnock's?Both are better-built products. A Blue Riband is a wrapped wafer bar that portions cleanly and travels well; a Tunnock's has caramel between the layers and chocolate over the outside. This pack is lighter, simpler and sold on colour. Is it worth buying?For a child who wants it, yes. For an adult wanting something with a cup of tea, no. That is not a flaw in the product; it is simply built for a different person, and we would rather be straight about which."

                "title": "Flavour Science",
                "content": "The flavour of Pink Panther Wafers, 154g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the wafer tastes the way it does from the first bite to the last swallow.The outer layer is the coating, and on a wafer it has to do far more work than it would on a biscuit. It arrives first, sweet and smooth and confected, and it is carrying the colour, the aroma and most of the flavour at once, because there is almost nothing underneath it contributing any of the three. That is the design rather than a failing: a wafer is chosen precisely because it stays out of the way, and a coating on a wafer reads stronger than the same coating on a digestive would.The flavour spike arrives immediately rather than mid-palate, which is the unusual thing about eating a wafer. There is no crumb to break down and no fat-heavy centre to warm through, so the sweetness is at full strength within the first half-second and then begins to fall away. Nothing is released slowly and nothing develops. This is why a wafer feels quick even when it is large, and why two of them do not taste twice as good as one.The base structure is very short indeed. The layers collapse together, the coating clears, and the mouth is empty again within a couple of seconds with almost nothing left behind except sweetness. There is no bitterness anywhere in the product to lengthen the finish and no fat to coat the tongue. A well-kept wafer gives a faint dry crack as it goes; one that has taken up humidity gives none at all, and a silent wafer has already lost the only texture it had.Getting it right in the cup. The honest answer is that this one does not go in the cup, and not in the way that a filled bar merely struggles. A wafer is a dry lattice surrounded by air with no crumb to wick liquid evenly, so it does not soften progressively the way a digestive does. It takes on water all at once and collapses. Eat it dry, and if you want a drink beside it make it black and unsweetened, because the wafer contributes no bitterness of its own and a sweet drink alongside it leaves you with nothing to balance anything.How water and temperature change it. Humidity is the whole story here, more so than for any other construction in this range. A wafer is mostly air by volume, which means a very large internal surface exposed to whatever the room is doing, and it comes into equilibrium with a damp kitchen within hours rather than days. Once soft, it does not come back: there is no fat to re-set and no dense crumb to dry out again. Heat matters less, though a warm coating dulls and marks whatever it touches. Airtight, cool and dry is the whole of the storage advice, and on a product this light it is worth following."

                "content": "Pink Panther Wafers, 154g is light, sweet and already coloured, which makes it far more useful crushed into something than eaten beside a hot drink. Five builds below cover the party plate, crushed over ice cream, a fridge square, a milkshake rim and a children's trifle layer.\nRecipes, born here first\n\n \n The Party Plate\n \n How to make The Party Plate with Pink Panther Wafers.\n \n 5 min\n 1 plate\n Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n 6 Pink Panther Wafers\n A bowl of strawberries or raspberries\n Cold water or squash\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Stand the wafers upright on a plate rather than stacking them. They are light and they break under their own weight in a pile.\n Put a bowl of sharp fresh fruit beside them. It is the only thing on the table pushing back against the sugar.\n Serve last, once the savoury food has gone. A wafer eaten first spoils the appetite for very little in return.\n Clear them within the hour, because wafers left out on a plate soften faster than anything else on the table.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: A plate that looks like more than it is, which on a party table is the entire brief.\n\n \n Crushed Over Ice Cream\n \n How to make Crushed Over Ice Cream with Pink Panther Wafers.\n \n 3 min\n 2 bowls\n Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n 2 wafers, crushed\n 4 scoops vanilla ice cream\n A handful of raspberries\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Crush two wafers coarsely between your hands over the bowls. Fine crumbs disappear into the ice cream; pieces stay crisp.\n Scatter the raspberries on top so there is something sharp against the sweetness.\n Eat immediately. Wafer on ice cream is crisp for about a minute and soft after that.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: The best use for this wafer by some distance, and it takes three minutes.\n\n \n Pink Fridge Squares\n \n How to make Pink Fridge Squares with Pink Panther Wafers.\n \n 20 min + 3 hours chill\n 12 squares\n Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n 120g wafers, broken into chunks\n 100g butter\n 3 tablespoons golden syrup\n 300g white chocolate\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Break the wafers into large chunks rather than crushing them, so the pink stays visible in the set slab.\n Melt the butter, syrup and white chocolate together over a very low heat, watching it closely because white chocolate catches easily.\n Fold the wafer chunks through at the last moment. Fold twice and no more, or they break down into crumbs.\n Press into a lined tin, chill for three hours and cut into twelve.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: Bright pink against white chocolate, which is the whole reason to make this version rather than a standard tiffin.\n\n \n Wafer-Rimmed Milkshake\n \n How to make Wafer-Rimmed Milkshake with Pink Panther Wafers.\n \n 5 min\n 2 glasses\n Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n 2 wafers, crushed fine\n 4 scoops vanilla ice cream\n 200ml cold milk\n 1 tablespoon honey for the rim\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Crush two wafers as finely as you can and tip them onto a saucer.\n Brush the rim of each glass with a little honey and turn it in the crushed wafer.\n Blitz the ice cream and milk together and pour carefully, keeping the rim dry.\n Serve at once, before the rim softens.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: A pink rim on a plain shake, which is a great deal of effect for two wafers.\n\n \n Children's Trifle Layer\n \n How to make Children's Trifle Layer with Pink Panther Wafers.\n \n 15 min\n 4 glasses\n Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n 4 wafers, broken\n 200g strawberries, sliced\n 300ml cold custard\n 150ml whipped cream\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Break the wafers into the bottom of four glasses. They stand in for sponge and bring their own sugar, so add none.\n Layer the sliced strawberries over them.\n Spoon cold custard over, then the whipped cream.\n Chill for no more than twenty minutes. Unlike sponge, wafer does not want long contact with custard: it goes from crisp to gone quite quickly.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: A trifle built in a quarter of an hour, with the wafer doing the job sponge normally does."
