As I have said previously, the festive food goodies are one of my favourite bits of Christmas.
It’s great to enjoy some yummy treats, surrounded by friends and family.
There are a few treats that we get every year and this year we (mainly me haha) have taken that a bit further and have been creating a ‘Festive snack table’.
Everytime we’ve gone to a supermarket or seen a tasty, tempting snack we’ve picked it up for the table and it’s starting to look rather good.
This is great for cosy evenings and if any guests come over during the festive period.
Here’s what we have included on our snack table…
Chocolates
Festive chocs are a must! Especially for a chocoholic like me!!
A Christmas classic is the matchmaker style chocolates. I picked these up in Aldi in both the chocolate orange and mint flavours.
I also got a selection of truffles.
We have the new Malteaser truffles that are amazing and, my husband’s favourite, the Lindt Lindor truffles. I picked those up in the original milk chocolate flavour and the new Mint flavour, they look so festive 🎄
You have to have a tub of chocolates at Christmas time, it’s a must. Whether your favourite is Heroes, Celebrations or Quality Street these just feel so Christmassy.
My favourites are Heroes (Cadburys ftw!) Where as my husband’s is Celebrations.
Biscuits
Shortbread is my absolute favourite biscuit and a Christmas must have. I love those festive tins too. I have my favourites, the Tesco tin, and I’m also trying out the Aldi shortbread too.
Mince Pies
I’ve really been enjoying mince pies this year and I’ve been testing as many different ones as I can (It’s a tough job but someones gotta do it!!)
Co-op have come out on top so far but I’ve also been trying the Tesco, Aldi and M&S ones, just to be sure! Haha.
Specialty items
I discovered my love of Panattone last year when I was gifted one, so this year I purchased one of Aldi’s Pandoro, I can’t wait to try it.
Savoury Snacks
Our savoury snack choices this year were of course Pringles and Aldi’s version, stackers as well as Twiglets and Mini cheddars.
Other
These cute Robin treats were part of Aldi’s Christmas range and we couldn’t resist. On the right is a hollow chocolate robin character and on the left is a chocolate orange celebration cake.
I hope I can bring myself to cut into them, they are pretty cute!!
So, that’s our snack table! What’s your favourite festive snack?
Until next time,
Roseanne 🙂
