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.…

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…

M&S Ultimate Five Grain Crumpets

M&S Ultimate Five Grain Crumpets

Ever since I was introduced to the M&S Ultimate Crumpet I have been hooked on those fluffy sourdough beauties. Not content on just having a plain crumpet they have now gone one step further and given us new M&S Ultimate Five Grain Crumpets.  I picked these up for a bargain price of 95p for 6 sizeable crumpets. These were slightly darker in comparison to their predecessor which I assume is due to the addition of wholemeal flour.  Made with wholemeal flour and high in fibre.  To cook these pop them in the toaster, toast on a medium heat for 1-2 minutes and hey presto crumpet perfection.…

M&S Peanut Butter Ice Cream

M&S Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Rejoice it’s still sunny and finally I have M&S Peanut Butter Ice Cream in my possession! When I spied it looking lonely in the freezer cabinet I made the decision to risk it melting by the time I got home. You see M&S is a wee bit inconvenient, we have an okay size one in the town centre however I usually pop in there whilst at work ergo no place to store my ice cream other than my tum. The other is about 20 miles away again a slight problem for frozen items.  As you can see the risk paid…

M&S Ultimate Crumpets

M&S Ultimate Crumpets

Fact: Crumpets are a glorious thing! I have tried numerous varieties but always come back to the superior Warburtons for their fluffiness and flavour, FYI if you haven’t tried their Giant Crumpets you really need to. I am however once again going out of ones comfort zone to give M&S Ultimate Crumpets a go. Amy over at Seeks New Treats has been loading my Insta feed with these crumpets so naturally I have had the craving for some.  Ultimate crumpets is quite the bold claim from M&S and these differ from your average joe numbers because these are sourdough crumpets. Yes you read…
