Christmas: M&S Christmas Turkey and Maple Syrup Crisps

Christmas: M&S Christmas Turkey and Maple Syrup Crisps

Crisps are a staple at Christmas, and at any good shindig for that matter. I do love a crisp, usually I am very particular with my salt and vinegar however Christmas brings out the adventurous side of me and I cannot pass up the opportunity for the turkey crisps. Airing on a little crazy M&S Christmas Turkey And Maple Syrup crisps have hit the shelves. Made using specially selected British potatoes that are thinly sliced skin on and hand cooked in small patches, promises to give a delicious and crispy snack. There really is nothing worse than a limp crisp!…

Christmas: M&S Viennese Gingerbread Creams

Christmas: M&S Viennese Gingerbread Creams

My love for gingerbread continues today in the form of biscuits. Now these aren’t just any gingerbread creams, these are M&S Gingerbread Viennese Creams. After the triumphant Mr Kipling Gingerbread Whirls I do wonder how M&S can top them. Each pack contains 8 viennese creams in sets of two in a plastic tray. In comparison to the exceedingly good Mr Kiplings’, M&S have gone for a far lighter buttered shortbread and spolodges of buttercream filling to avoid the potential for slippage, as well as giving them a far more uniformed appearance. The biscuit itself wasn’t as short as I had expected so…

Christmas: McDonald’s Chocolatey Banoffee Pie

Christmas: McDonald’s Chocolatey Banoffee Pie

Happy Fast Food Friday! I will be honest, the only reason I will go to McDonald’s is for the hash browns and the apple pies. My little cupcake who has done a review on the whole festive shebang here, shared some valuable insight that this year they have forgone the fruit pie, and instead McDonald’s Chocolatey Banoffee Pie has come into our lives. Huzzah! This little boxed pie was £1.19, a small price to pay for what I hope is as enjoyable as their apple pies.I feel they could have been a little more festive in the packaging but nonetheless it was…
