I had my first taste of a frangipane mince pie last year *cough* Aldi *cough* and they were divine. This year I decided to try the M&S ones. I have to say M&S had a good selection of mince pies this year, including iced top, puff pastry and these frangipane ones.
I noticed that these mince pies were quite shallow compared to others, they didn’t have as much filling. The pastry was very dry and not very buttery. The mincemeat was nice, full of flavour and juicy sultanas. The frangipane was lovely, and the flaked almonds were a nice touch.
However, I still preferred the ones from Aldi, so I don’t think I’d buy these again.
