I Can’t Believe My Mince Pies

Mince Pie Bonbons and Chocolate Bar

Introducing our latest Christmas gift ideas

This Christmas, we’re all about the mince pies.

From the moment they hit the shelves (which seems to be getting earlier every year!), you’ll find us tucking in to our favourite winter treat. We love them so much that last year we created our mince pie bonbons, and this year we’ve doubled down on the mince pie goodness by giving them their own box, and also introducing our brand new mince pie chocolate bar.

Mince Pie Christmas Chocolate Bar *Pre-order*

Mince Pie Christmas Chocolate Bar Unboxed with Decor

This is a pre-order for a seasonal chocolate bar which will be dispatched in December. All items in an order containing pre-orders will be dispatched together. If you need other items sooner, please place a separate order for this bar.

This limited edition mince pie chocolate bar is not just for Christmas – it’s also vegan friendly!

We’ve used a unique almond couverture blended with festive spices and crunchy biscuit pieces to recreate our favourite winter treat – mince pies! Each bar is finished with a generous topping of flame raisins and strips of candied orange peel.

Nutty, fruity and biscuity, with a background of warming winter spice, this moreish bar is hard to put down. Luckily Christmas is the time to indulge, so dig in.

I can’t believe my mince pies!

This bar does not contain dairy and is suitable for vegans.

Mince pie lovers can also enjoy our award-winning mince pie bonbons, available in our Christmas Chocolate Selection.

Mince Pie Chocolates *Pre-order*

Mince Pie Chocolates Box Open Angled with Decorations

This is a pre-order for our Mince Pie Chocolates which will be dispatched from mid-December onwards to ensure freshness over Christmas. All items in an order containing pre-orders will be dispatched together. If you need other items sooner, please place a separate order for the Mince Pie Chocolates.

A seasonal gift box of 9 beautifully crafted Mince Pie Chocolates, a Christmas speciality inspired by our favourite festive treat!

Each bonbon contains 3 layers of homemade mincemeat jam, brandy ganache and sweet pastry praline, recreating the delicious flavour of mince pies with brandy butter.

These elements are all captured in a fine chocolate shell, each one individually decorated with a unique snowflake pattern – a finishing touch evocative of icing sugar dusted over freshly baked mince pies.

Silver Medal Winner – Academy of Chocolate Awards

The perfect gift this Christmas, and the ultimate answer to that tricky Secret Santa.

This bonbon is also available in our Christmas Chocolate Selection, alongside other seasonal favourites. Mince pie fans may also enjoy our Mince Pie Christmas Chocolate Bar.

If I see another mince pie….

For our first blog post of 2015, we would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and thank everyone who shopped with us over the Christmas period – we hope everyone enjoyed their presents!

We’ve had a bit of a break after the Christmas rush to recover from a month of manic mince pie baking, sell out markets and lots of ribbon tying! There were also some very unique private orders, from bespoke gifts made entirely of chocolate, to our first ever doughnut wedding tower:
