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

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

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.…

M&S Gingerbread Teacakes

Gingerbread is not just for Christmas in my eyes however as the Winter months beckon closer gingerbread foods emerge and I start to go into a gingerbread frenzy. (For anyone who loved the Mr Kipling Gingerbread Whirls they are back and in store now huzzah!) Today’s review is on the air of savoury gingerbread with M&S Gingerbread Teacakes.  I am not sure if these were available last year but I am pretty sure I would have sniffed them out if it were the case. A pack of two generously sized teacakes were £1.00 which isn’t too shabby at all. I love both teacakes…

Belinda Clark Mellow Mallow Gingerbread & Natural Orange & Chocolate

There is something unbelievably delightful about eating pillowy, gooey marshmallows that hits the spot like no other confectionary. We have waved goodbye to the average Flump because it is all about the gourmet marshmallow now.  I came across these Belinda Clark Mellow Mallow Marshmallows whilst doing my Ocado Shop, yes I went slight off plan. With a strap line of ‘expertly handmade confectionery to surprise your senses and tickle your tastebuds’, I couldn’t not buy some. There were a number of flavours on offer and on this occasion I opted for Gingerbread and Chocolate Orange. So lets get down to marshmallow business. First…
