Mince pies and festive treats

[Reynard]

Not a fan of marzipan either, I am going to try and find one without. Zum Deutschen thema, I am going to try and get some lebkuchen too.

If you do, I'd suggest sticking to Aldi and Lidl for that, as the stuff that's in most supermarkets tends to be much too sweet and has little flavour other than the sugar overload.

My personal preference for bought is Lidl - their dark chocolate-covered hearts filled with apricot jam are lush, as is their Nurnberger Lebkuchen. Otherwise, it's actually pretty simple to make at home. Here's a linky one of my go-to recipes:

Good tip, I have both Aldi and Lidl within easy travelling distance. I like it chocolate coated and filled with apricot jam also sounds well worth a try!

Yes, we regularly buy the Lidl Lebkuchen. Finished the first packet this winter a couple of days ago.
