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: Butterkist Gingerbread Popcorn

Christmas: Butterkist Gingerbread Popcorn

Eeeeew it’s two weeks till Christmas!!! Gingerbread is everywhere this season and I am LOVING it! Finally brands have realised we love the gingerbread and it shouldn’t just be confined to a Jamaican Ginger Cake, although nothing beats said cake! Today is the turn of Butterkist Gingerbread Popcorn. This festive 150g themed bag was a reasonable £1.50 from Ocado. As with pretty much all popcorn it is gluten free, is suitable for vegetarians and has no artificial flavours or colourings, huzzah!  Popcorn coated with a Cinammon & Ginger flavour toffee (67%). Per 100g: 412 kcal, 2.3g sat fat, 50.6g sugar, 2.9g…

Christmas: M&S Gingerbread Teacakes

Christmas: M&S Gingerbread Teacakes

Last week saw the Battle of the Festive Sarnies and this week sees all things festive continue and it is only right we start with the first Christmas good I purchased. Yes, I have braved the new M&S Gingerbread Teacakes. Their Red Velvet and Dulce de Leche ones were less than desirable in taste and didn’t exactly do well on conveying what they were meant to be; so you can imagine my apprehension here with these Gingerbread Teacakes.  Now the reason I hop-footed it down to M&S when I heard these had hit the shelves was purely my love of gingerbread.…

Krispy Kreme Gingerbread Ring and Bonfire Toffee

Krispy Kreme Gingerbread Ring and Bonfire Toffee

Halloween is well and truly over and we are onto Bonfire Night. So put down your candy because Krispy Kreme Gingerbread Ring and Bonfire Toffee is here to keep you company this bonfire season. Keeping it very much under the radar, Krispy Kreme only let on of these scrumptious sounding treats along with 2 new drinks – Gingerbread Latte and Bonfire Toffee Shake late last night. There is no hiding the doughnuts from me, and the fact gingerbread has made an entrance there was no way I was not getting it today.  A ring doughnut dipped in ginger flavoured icing &…

Dorset Cereals Gingerbread Porridge

Dorset Cereals Gingerbread Porridge

I could not believe my peepers when I spotted Grocery Gems tweet about Dorset Cereals Gingerbread Porridge, how did I not know this existed?! I suppose the saving grace is I do now and I have it in my possession.  I do love gingerbread, surprising given I don’t exactly like ginger, anyway when I saw this I must confess I contemplated an Ocado shop I was that desperate to try it. However through the air of reason I decided to check my local Waitrose and low and behold there it was sitting on the shelf all lonesome and waiting for me, obviously.…
