M&S Pistachio Creme Filled Eggs

M&S Pistachio Creme Filled Eggs

Next up on the Easter trail is the M&S Pistachio Creme Filled Eggs. Pistachio seems to be having a moment and it is nice to see that they have included a mini version rather than just the large filled egg. These come in at £3, which is a great price, and I picked these up on Ocado. Each egg is made up of Swiss milk chocolate and filled with a smooth, creamy pistachio centre. The vibrant packaging is a win for me, I like the use of the green and orange and the metallic gold on the egg wrappings. The…

M&S Speckled Egg Cookies

M&S Speckled Egg Cookies

M&S is starting to have quite the knack for seasonal goodies and for their Easter delights they have given us the M&S Speckled Egg Cookies. These limited edition cookies contain white and milk chocolate buttons and speckled chocolate eggs, very apt for Easter. Coming in packs of 5, they cost £3.10, which is a little pricer than other supermarket cookies these days. The cookie itself looks the part: generously sized, properly chunky, and studded with chocolate chunks and pastel coloured speckled crushed eggs that give it a playful, Easter‑ready vibe. Taste‑wise, they’re good, very sweet … but it was let…

Oreo Creme Egg

Oreo Creme Egg

Ever year I say I won’t eat Easter treats this early and every year I cave. What broke it so early this year? The hotly anticipated Oreo Creme Egg cookies which have just landed. This limited-edition cookie promises to combine the crunch and rich cocoa taste of Oreo cookies with the indulgence of a Creme Egg. Is this pairing going to be a match made in Easter heaven? These were bought in Sainsbury’s but you can also find them on Ocado for £1.50 a pack, or Home Bargains and B&M at around 79p a pack. The cocoa cookies are stamped…

KitKat Gingerbread

KitKat Gingerbread

Do I spy another year of gingerbread being the hit flavour for festive foodie treats? Last week we had the comeback of the M&S Cookies and this week we have the 2 finger KitKat Gingerbread. Across their whole range KitKat have certainly done some flavours over the years. Unlike a Chunky there isn’t much room in a 2 finger KitKat to add any oomph of flavour so it is unsurprising here that the gingerbread flavouring is in the chocolate coating. Each multipack comes with 8 bars and retail at £2.20 but were on offer at the time for £1.50 in…

Golden Wonder Festive Crisps *

Golden Wonder Festive Crisps *

With a few weeks to go until Christmas the snacks are in abundance. Upping the festivities and covering all party essentials, Golden Wonder have expanded into Christmas Tree Tortillas and Baubles. These Golden Wonder Festive Crisps were kindly sent to me and are available in stores including Tesco and Home Bargains. The Christmas Tree Tortillas are seasoned with honey glazed ham and the Baubles with glazed ham. Both taste like ham but with a twist. The Baubles definitely triumph in the hardiness as the Christmas Tree Tortillas look great but it is a shame that for the most part they…
