M&S launch mince pies filled with Belgian chocolate brownie

They look like a great alternative

Fans are going wild after spotting Rodney Reindeer Pies at M&S.

The crisp, brown butter pastry pies are filled with a rich Belgian chocolate brownie filling.

The sweet treat which is suitable for vegetarians has been released in the run up to Christmas and a pack of four costs shoppers £3.

They are said to be a delicious alternative for those who don’t like the traditional mince pies and people are delighted with the idea.

One customer wrote: “Now these are Christmas pies I would eat!”

Another wrote: “Maybe Santa would like these this year instead.”

A third commented: “Oh my goodnessss I would like to eat 100 of these!”

The mince pies are made with butter and caramelised butter oil (brown butter), and filled with milk chocolate brownie.

Over the last few weeks, M&S Food has released a series of festive products, getting their customers into the Christmas spirit nice and early.

Savoury snacks include Santa’s Hat Cheddar Cheese, Cranberry Topped Pork Pie and Penguin & Polar Bear Steamed Bao Buns.

Sweet treats include their classic All Butter Mince Pies, Raspberry and Pistachio Roulade and a festive version of their famous Percy Pig sweets.

It comes after M&S recently launched a new Molten Cookie Dough desert.

The supermarket chain teamed up with British chef Tom Kerridge to launch a series of new dishes from his Gastropub range which hit M&S and Ocado shelves on September 24.

There are eight new Tom Kerridge x Gastropub lines to try, including starters, mains and desserts.

Included in the range is a creamy pork and bacon pâté, deep and generously filled all-butter pastry pies, British beef cheeks and a treacle tart.

However, the dish that customers are going wild for is a gooey bake-at-home molten cookie dough.

M&S’ Dine In Deal allows customers to enjoy any of the Gastropub dishes, a starter, main, a side and dessert for two people for only £15.
