REVIEW - Mr Kipling Gingerbread Whirls

Over the past month I've been searching fruitlessly for these Mr Kipling Gingerbread Whirls; I saw them very briefly in Tesco one time but on my next visit I discovered that they'd been replaced by shelves and shelves of mince pies. Even my mum couldn't find them online when she was ordering our delivery of Christmas food and so I'd resigned myself to having to wait another year before getting my hands on any. 

Thankfully, a visit to Morrisons by my mum the other day proved more successful than any trip to Tesco or Sainsbury's and (because she knew how grumpy I'd been about not being able to find some) she picked up a packet for me as an early Christmas present.

In all honestly, I like Viennese whirls but I don't LOVE them - however I've been so keen to try these out because I love anything gingerbread-related (be it food, drink, body wash or scented candles). I'll happily eat gingerbread all year round but I think that it tastes especially good at Christmas.

It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas

REVIEW - Mr Kipling Frosty Fancies

Christmas must be Mr Kipling's favourite time of year. Not only do his sales of mince pies sky-rocket but he also gets to roll out the festive classics, such as his Festive Bakewell Tarts, Gingerbread Whirls and the good old Frosty Fancies.

I do like French Fancies and won't turn them down if they're in front of me, but they're not really something I would go and deliberately buy for myself. My mum brought these with her as a gift when she came for a recent visit, hence why they ended up in my food cupboard. Now that I think of it, my last packet of French Fancies (the Halloween witches' hat editions) were also a present from my mum - maybe she likes giving them as gifts, who knows!

"Exceedingly merry"
