M&S Blueberry Pancakes



As soon as I opened the packaging, I was met with the delicious smell of blueberries. Lovely fluffy, light pancakes with plenty of juicy blueberries. The blueberries made the pancakes nice and moist, I’d definitely buy these again!

M&S Braised Lamb In Redcurrant and Mint Gravy



Lamb, mint and redcurrant - a perfect combination! I have to say, my hopes weren't that high, but I was pleasantly surprised! 

The ready meal consisted of braised pieces of lamb with onions, in a mint and redcurrant gravy, served with mashed potatoes and cabbage. 

The Lamb was lovely and tender, although a little fatty. The mint and redcurrant gravy was quite tangy and tasty, but I felt the gravy was too runny and needed to be thicker. The mash was nice and fluffy, the cabbage was a nice addition although it was a bit too crunchy. 

I would definitely buy this again, although I might add a little extra butter to the mash and cabbage, as it wasn't particularly buttery!

M&S Mini Colin the Caterpillar Cakes




I've been dying to try these cute little cakes! They are usually sold out at my local M&S, but I found these at a different M&S, although there were only two left, so they seem to be quite popular.

These cakes were lovely and chocolatey, and very cute! The white chocolate face was lovely and creamy. The cake itself had a beautiful rich chocolate buttercream, the sponge was moist, and the thick outer layer of chocolate around the cake was amazing. 

The little coloured chocolate beans sprinkled over the cake were a nice little touch, too! I loved these cakes and would buy them again.

Price £2.00 for six

M&S Toffee Meringues



These little toffee meringues were lovely and light, with a delicious toffee flavoured cream filling, drizzled with toffee sauce and coated with chocolate. I noticed a coffee or molasses flavour in the toffee cream, I’m not sure if this was used to add more flavour, but it was a nice touch. These are perfect for a light dessert and I would buy them again.

Price: £1.50 for two
