Halloween and the budget are both done and dusted, so are we allowed to talk about Christmas yet? We've rounded up six tasty new food and drink launches to get you in the mood for all things festive.
ManiLife Mince Pie-nut butter
OMG, we’ve died and gone to peanut butter heaven. ManiLife has just created Christmas in a jar and we’re spreading it on everything and maybe even spooning it straight out of the jar (don’t judge!). ManiLife Mince Pienut Butter is made from their classic slow-roasted peanut butter with added butter aromatic essence of mince pies. Spread it on your toast, tea cake or crumpet for tasting notes of apple, raisin, and Christmas spices. It’s sweet, indulgent and in Sainsbury’s, Ocado, and – we say run don’t walk.
£4.00
Baileys Chocolate
Yes, you read that right. The nation’s fave Irish crème has gone one up for this festive season and released a Belgian Chocolate version. As rich and delicious as the classic but with a sweet infusion of real chocolate blended in. Put on some Christmas tunes and enjoy it in a chilled glass with ice.
£16.50
Tracklements The Christmas Collection
Tracklements has a Christmas collection to pep up your cheeseboard early and enjoy sweet winter flavours with your cheese. The pack of four includes a well put together medly of differing tastes, ranging from the totally Christmas Cranberry, Port & Orange Sauce, a rich Sticky Fig Relish, and a Spiced Plum Chutney (great in a Ploughman's sarnie) and a classic Christmas Spice Chutney.
