What are the best supermarket stollen and mince pies?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

Enjoyed the Aldi mini stollen I've tried, is it the best or should I try Lidl too?

Do we have a verdict yet on the mince pie crop this year - where are the nicest to be found?

Aldi sloe gin mince pies are the best I've ever eaten.

Aldi dark chocolate coated stollen is to die for. Also their frangipane mince pies. And lebkuchen. And, well you get the idea

Morrison's stollen slices are so so good.

Another shout for Aldi Black Forest mince pies.

Aldi's stollen is YUM.

Black forest mince pies sound amazing, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for those!

Iceland luxury ones are GH winners again.

Aldi frangipane mince pies

M&S premium mince pies, though they are very rich

I bought the Aldi apple stollen today and I'm disappointed with it - quite dry. Much prefer the stollen bites.

I'm on my 3rd box of Aldi black forest mince pies. Going to have serious withdrawals in Jan. Lidl usually does the best (and biggest) stollen, though I haven't had one yet this year.

I like the ones from sainsburys.

For those that DO want to make their own (I can't be arsed), my sister makes a cheat version with prebought pastry.
Shortcrust on the bottom, blob on mincemeat, egg round the mincemeat, flaky on top and here's the clever bit, squish to make edges with a ravioli maker. You then cut and egg them and can bake them on the pastry paper.
Even this is too much effort for me though. But they are deeeelish.

Hope you are all checking the labels for palm oil?

Iceland all the way then.

Sainsbury in store bakery followed by Sainsbury TTD mini pies

I sent DS round to Greggs last week, he got 2 boxes , they were really dark .

Planning to try some Lidl bakery
Not keen on M&S , or Tesco.

Stollen.... that'll be made by me. No butter on the top, no rum, tonnes of marzipan.

anybody tried Hestons choc and cherry ? ?

Haven't had any yet, are there any puff pastry ones around?

I like the idea of the iced ones from Asda....!

Booths stollen is amazing!

I like Tesco's Finest mince pies with Courvoisier brandy.

Greggs mince pies are delish and love the stollen from Morrison's in-store bakery

I’ve always preferred Iceland mince pies and they do a big box at a very reasonable price. I haven’t had any from anywhere yet this year though, so watching replies with interest! I love a mince pie, warmed up and a dollop of extra thick double cream uuuuuuummmmmmm! [drooling]

Oo oo ooo forgot to say! I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that McDonalds are AGAIN not doing their festive mince pies! Absolute travesty, I can’t understand their thinking, the bosses must be deep fried numb nuts. Bah humbug!

Lidl Stollen bites. I ate far too many last year, so I've not even been in the shop this year.

Aldi sloe gin mince pies are the best I've ever eaten

Makes mental note to visit Aldi ASAP.

My favourite stollen is the M&S one everything else is too dry. Can anyone recommend a moist stollen that isn’t M&S.
