I tried viral angel hair chocolate – what on earth is it?
The sweet treat (currently on sale for £4.50 with a Clubcard) is made of ruby and white chocolate, but inside it has pistachio cream and cotton candy (also known as candyfloss to us in the UK).
This week, I have watched endless amounts of people eat the chocolate bar on TikTok during my evening hourly doom scroll.
Many have compared it to what can only be described as 'eating a carpet' due to the candyfloss "fibres", so I had no idea what to expect, and I think I actually scared myself.
Truth be told, I'm still asking, what the hell did I eat? In fact, I can't stop thinking about it, as it might be the weirdest thing I've digested in 2025 so far.
As soon as I unwrapped the Noesis Angel Hair Chocolate bar, there was an almighty waft of white chocolate, now this sweet scent of vanilla was a delight to get started with.
But then came the real fun part, it was time to snap the chocolate bar in half to see what was waiting for me inside.
Have you seen this viral angel hair chocolate at other supermarkets in the UK? (Image: Molly Court/Newsquest) Alas, I was greeted by a mass of literal hairy pink and white fibres, and my brain almost exploded – was I really about to eat such a bonkers-looking substance?
I know it's candyfloss, but my mind could hardly accept it as it was so dense.
Anyway, I got a grip and took a bite - my mouth was instantly filled with a very bizarre texture, I almost felt like I'd bitten into a tea towel and I froze.
But after only a few seconds later, I carried on rapidly chewing and noticed it was dissolving.
All of a sudden, it turned into a pleasant chocolatey mix so I began to relax.
I don't think I will eat anything as weird as an angel hair chocolate bar for the rest of the year (Image: Molly Court/Newsquest) I was surprised at just how lovely it tasted, there was a balance of flavours between the creamy ruby and white chocolate, as well as the candyfloss.

Sadly, I thought the pistachio flavour lacked a little for my liking - in my opinion, there could be more of it.
What I will say, is that this bar is only 70g, and although quite thick, it's awfully small for the price (after about two bites each between me and my partner, it was gone).
Would I eat it again? Absolutely. But it might be the first and last time I spend near enough £5 for a smaller-than-average bar of chocolate that left my taste buds with such confusion.

Yolanda, 26, from Hampshire is the youngest in the experiment, but is more than ready for marriage. The star is a self professed adrenaline junkie, and at 15 even found herself in a coma after she walked into a window. But Yolanda has been seen on screens before, and even has links to a famous star. Yolanda has links to Love Island 2024 winner Mimii Tafara, who made history last year on the ITV2 show with Josh. She even appeared on the spin-off show Aftersun to talk about Mimii while she was still in the villa. Yolanda and Mimii were also seen on the Boots UK YouTube channel for the Christmas Gift Swap video several months ago. The caption for the video, posted on December 13, 2024, reads: "Join Mimii and her cousin Yolanda as they pick out some of the best beauty and fragrance gifts from Boots this Christmas! Plus, find out which must have product Mimii used in the Love Island Villa!" Yolanda is also active on her own social media, with a large TikTok following, often sharing clips of her own life. Taking to her Instagram to share the Love Is Blind UK casting news, Yolanda wrote: "SURPRISE. From 50 First Dates to Love Is Blind UK I really took my dating life to Netflix. "As the youngest in the experiment, I stepped into the pods with an open heart and no clue what was coming… Catch all the tea and post-show madness on TikTok: @simply_yolandita Mr Right … are you out there." And the support came pouring in as Mimii herself wrote: "Can't wait!!!!" Some fans even said they were tuning in to the latest series to watch their favourite star. Over on TikTok, Yolanda has been no stranger to sharing details on her love life to her 22.4k followers. She even shared clips after going on "50 first dates". In one video recently, the star shared a clip of her dancing as the text read: "Me fully embracing my destiny as the hot single auntie." But how was Yolanda's Love Is Blind UK journey? Fans can tune in to find out as eight out of the ten episodes are available to stream on Netflix now.

I was a single mum in £13k of debt – now I make £5k a month, work 3 hours a day on TikTok and started with 1k followers
CASHING IN I was a single mum in £13k of debt – now I make £5k a month, work 3 hours a day on TikTok and started with 1k followers Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ROXANNE Freeman was a single mother in £13,000 of debt, but is now earning up to £5,000 every month. Prior to her side hustle success, the 36-year-old lived beyond her means and used credit cards to support her family. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 A single mother has opened up about clearing her debt thanks to her side hustle Credit: TikTok/@bbcnews 4 Roxanne Freeman owed £13,000, but now cashes in up to £5,000 a month through TikTok Credit: TikTok/@bbcnews 4 She started out with just 1,000 followers Credit: TikTok/@roxannefreeman 4 Now she reviews plus-size clothing online for a living and is able to take her sons abroad Credit: TikTok/@roxannefreeman She even used one to put down a deposit on a caravan. But now, the Leicester-based parent has changed her fortune after she turned her hand to content creation, which sees her film and post reviews of plus-size clothing on TikTok. Now, Roxanne earns commissions on her videos and cashes in up to £5,000 a month, which has enabled her to clear her debts. Opening up to the BBC, Roxanne shared all on her 'life-changing' social media stardom. Despite having just 1,000 followers in February 2024 when she started, now, Roxanne has amassed almost 50,000 loyal fans. Prior to switching to TikTok full-time, the mother was working as a Slimming World consultant. She shared her first video reviving a TikTok Shop dress just last year, which saw her earn £200 commission in a week. Soon after, she was approached by other companies offering her samples to review. Roxanne explained: "In my second month I earned £600 and it just went up and up gradually. "I'm now earning up to £5,000 per month from just two to three hours' work a day, it's insane." I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy Now, Roxanne relies solely on her income from TikTok and while it varies slightly each month, she is now able to do more with her sons, aged six and 10. She added: "I took the kids on holiday - my youngest boy had never been abroad before. "Sometimes imposter syndrome does sneak in a little bit and I worry, but you could lose any job tomorrow." Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. Roxanne's fans beam Social media users were overjoyed by Roxanne's success and eagerly raced to the comments to support her, with many desperate to do the same. One person said: 'So pleased for you, Roxanne!' I'm now earning up to £5,000 per month from just two to three hours' work a day, it's insane Roxanne Freeman Another added: 'So so so proud of you.' A third commented: 'Good on you Roxanne.' Meanwhile, someone else gushed: 'I wish this was me. Fingers crossed one day.'
