Mrs W here …..

Oh yes please, Bakewell Tarts, but not the real ones, I like the ones you get in supermarkets in packets with icing and a cherry on top … yum yum xx

Pain aux raisins “Or / and” Pastel de Nata the Portuguese Custard Tarts, they both have my attention when we go to Lidl. Other stores are available somehow some always end up in our basket :grin::zany_face::face_savoring_food:

Yes they are a wonderful tasty treat @Long-John-Silver …. what I meant is they are not the same as the Wiki definition of a Bakewell Tart xx

I consider them Bakewell 2.sweet the ones with a layer of icing bath equally perfect. @Wurger

The only thing I liked about Christmas cake as a kid was the icing, wasn’t keen on the marzipan but put up with it just to get the icing! Now love the full cake and mince pies! :evergreen_tree:

Aldi do some really lovely chocolate bars. We used to get those little bags of chocolate barrels that had alcoholic fillings, a bit like liqueurs. Haven’t seen them around in our Aldi for quite a while though :pensive_face:

Ive had the M&S version…. This is the reason we never have biscuits in the house…

My belly is growing

The M&S are great but these have more chocolate on them (however the M&S gave 8 in the pack compared to 6)

Is there a difference in price as they sound yummy and something enjoy over Christmas

The Marks and Spencer ones are £2.99 compared to Lidl at £2.49 - you get more from M&S but the Lidl ones have more chocolate
