Review: These mince pie tarts have been a massive hit in recent years. Aldi are the masters of these. The last few years they’ve had the standard and sloe gin versions score 8s and 9s all over the place.

Review: These scored well last year, very well. A big 9/10. My comments centred around the Ballycastle cream topping and how lovely it was.

Co-op Merry Mince Pie Review 2023
Review: Guess who’s back, back again…it’s this blog, tell a friend. Enough of the fanfares, down to business – but not before saying thanks to the countless people who’ve hassled, cajoled and guilted me into reviewing mince pies again for the 2023 season.

Review: There’s plenty of repetitive themes in the mince pie world, and if there’s a alcoholic twist to a mince pie it’s usually brandy/cognac or maybe a hint of gin. But here we have my favourite drop, a spiced rum mince pie.
