Stay away from the M&S bites, they're horrid. Soggy, squishy and wet with way too much alcohol.

Yes, I was really disappointed last Xmas with the M n S ones.

Aldi

I like the Aldi stollen bites - a couple are just enough with a cuppa.

Those Lidl stollen bites made me put on about a stone! So good

You can slice a large stollen, separate the pieces with grease proof paper, and freeze them. Then take a slice out for breakfast and pop it under the grill until the marzipan starts to lightly brown and bubble. Slather with butter and enjoy with coffee.
Don't burn your mouth on the marzipan!

I can't day I've tried them all, but I really love Lidl's mini stollen bites.

Everybody knows it’s Lidl

We have already devoured a pack of Aldi mini stollen. Love them.

Team Lidl here.

As a German I say Lidl. The normal Marzipan one, not the Deluxe. The Stollen bites are also good but the big one will last if you wrap it in tin foil.

We start one at 1st Advent and the 2nd at Christmas Day.

M&S cherry and amaretto bites.

Lidl shooting stars choc biscuits are also excellent. Christmas came early here.

Another vote for Aldi stollen bites. I’ve done extensive taste tests over the years!

bardabunga · 12/11/2026 20:31

Lidl.

LaurieFairyCake · 12/11/2026 20:27

Agree with Bugalugs dad! The Aldi one is the best supermarket one

However Bettys is the best overall and maybe 8 times the price

mondaytosunday · 12/11/2026 20:24

Vote for Lidl too. My Dutch FIL introduced us to it now my (23 year old) son is addicted!

Cadenza12 · 12/11/2026 20:18

Sainsbury's taste the difference.

Lidl stollen bites

Im another who buys from Aldi, I also highly recommend their mini florentines from the same range.

Yello24 · 12/11/2026 20:13

Lidl. Buy don’t bother with the chocolate covered ones they have this year. Rotten chocolate
