THEY are the Tik-Tok craze that everyone's going mad about - but what are Little Moons and where can you get your hands on them?
Little Moons are inspired by the ceremonious Japanese dessert 'mochi' which consists of tasty fruits, cake and ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of chewy rice dough.
However, Little Moons are filled with all types of intensely flavoured gelato wrapped in coloured rice dough.
