M&S Caramelised Biscuit Sticky Buns

New desserts have literally exploded onto the autumn scenes and we are all here for it. The one I really was the most eager to try was the M&S Caramelised Biscuit Sticky Buns. Available in stores these 4 soft buns are filled with a spiced cinnamon paste, with a lightly spiced caramel sauce and are topped with caramelised spiced biscuits pieces and a sweet dusting. Surely it’s dessert heaven in a pot! Simple to bake in the oven, these take only 12 minutes before you have molten gooey caramel goodness. The dough is light and fluffy and baked to perfection.…

M&S Lemon Meringue Yumnuts

The new desserts have well and truly been hitting up the shelves of M&S, and here we have the M&S Lemon Meringue Yumnuts. I am still somewhat in a haze of chocolatey delight with the Jaffa Cheesecake slices but in the spirit of summer and freshening up desserts we have pastry, lemon and cream delights on the menu today.

These butter enriched…

M&S Loaded Jaffa Cheesecake Wedges

These M&S Loaded Jaffa Cheesecake Wedges have been out for a while but I thought it was about time I give them a whirl. You can buy these singularly or it is worth checking if it is part of the dine in for £12. Each pack contains two wedges and promises to deliver a chocolate cheesecake with tangy orange sauce topping and chocolate brownie chunks. For a cheesecake it is all about the base for me. If you have a naff biscuity base then you aren’t onto a winning cheesecake. Here we have a seriously crumbly chocolatey base that is rich…
