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 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…

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.

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 The Big Daddy Bar

The M&S The Big Daddy Bar is a whopping hunk of a chocolate bar, some may even call it a whale of a bar. It is back for another year and this time it has gone viral and has been flying off the shelves. At £6.60 you may think that is expensive but you are getting 300g of chunky milk and dark chocolate bar with caramel, peanut butter and roasted peanut pieces. Peanut butter lovers buckle up! Each bar is housed in a cardboard packaging, no extra packaging inside which is good to see from an environmental perspective. Look at…

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…
