The Review

12 mini mince pies. Butter rich shortcrust pastry deep filled with a rich fruity mince meat

‘Quite good for a mini, they even have a decent amount of mince meat.’ – Su

‘Small but very tasty. A little difficult to extract cleanly from the foil tray, but once out a winner. Not entirely satisfying, although an excellent and almost unbeatable quick mince pie fix. A definite best buy.’ – Piet

‘These mini minces were close to being a tiny nugget of purest gold. Unfortunately like gold they were a little too sweet, not by much, but if it had been increased in size at a relative ratio such as the film ‘Honey I Blew up the Kid’ they would have been far too sugary. As all the M&S pies they were of a top quality. Perfect party pies.’ – Adam

‘M&S have two mini pies on offer, these and their Connoisseur range, both are very good and will suit difference people’s taste. The standard pies mince meat is slightly richer and a more intense sensation, unlike the slightly cool connoisseur. It’s pastry is nearly as but not quite as tasty, and also some way behind the experience provided by M&S’s larger pies which overall offer a better balance. That’s not to say there is anything wrong with this pie, it’s still very good but I think mini mince pies need something special; they’re not eaten in the same way as a large pie which is all about the pie it self; but rather as little treats and nibbles at parties and festive events. For this reason the M&S Connoisseur pie is a better option than these stand ones, but still not as good as the Co-op’s Truly Irresistible Mini Mince Pies which are the perfect mini party pies.’ – Mince Pie Virgin
