Best M&S store cupboard snacks?

27 replies

OMGitsnotgood · 25/11/2024 06:29

A friend served some particularly nice tortilla chips with dips recently. They were from M&S. I don’t normally do any food shopping at M&S but I need several bags of tortilla chips to go with chilli for a small gathering, so will take the opportunity to stock up on other snacks for the Christmas period while I’m there.

What are your recommendations for both sweet and savoury store cupboard snacks from M&S that are either unique to their brand or in your opinion superior to others. Things that will keep until Christmas WITHOUT refrigeration or freezing please. I’m thinking mainly the sort of thing that can be opened and put in a bowl / on a plate without having to do anything to them when you just need something to go with a drink or a cuppa while watching telly or if friends call round.
Thank you

Chilli cheese clouds - so addictive!

Not really store cupboard but while you're there pick up some chocolate chip cookies from the bakery. They are insanely good! 😌

Little bags of chocolate covered rice cakes
they do a bigger pack of non chocolate rice cakes which are nice, think they’re salt and pepper or something

Their chilli jam. Not really a snack, but amazing on toast with a fried egg on top!

LittleRedRidingHoody · 25/11/2024 07:03

Okay so I'm firmly a believer that when you go to M&S for a snack shop, the M&S gods lead you to find what you need 😂 I can't remember all my faves (there are a lot!) but here are some screenshots of my top 3 recently.

I also highly rate:

Grab bags of chocolate covered pistachios / chocolate covered marzipan / chocolate covered cookie dough bites

Those bakery tubs (normally 2 for £6 or something) of mini rolls/flapjacks/rocky road - IMO these are superior to the tubs in other stores. Just check the dates on them as normally they have over a months shelf life, but they're not as shelf stable as other bits but you should still find some with dates after Christmas.

I find the Onion Ring crisps deceptively moorish from there compared to other shops too.

In the fridge, you'll find rolls of cookie dough that although not 0 effort, all you do is slice and bake when you want them and they are absolutely 10/10. Properly come out like bakery cookies every time.

Their natural fruit and nut mix - literally just dried fruit and unsalted nuts - is one of my top snacks ever. Not sure how it's SO different from your standard fruit + nut mix, but it is!

Obviously Christmas themed Percy pigs if that's your thing.

I don't normally like bourbon biscuits but they do a really thick chocolate coated version, delicious.

julesover40 · 25/11/2024 07:16

The chilli coated peanuts are divine, as above i also love the onion ring crisps. My teen loves their pretzel thins, always have these in the cupboard. Was planning to go and grab some very merry munch to stash away for Xmas so shall add the chilled cookie dough to my list now too.
And percy pigs are always top of the list !

Enko · 25/11/2024 07:16

Chocolate covered chilli tortilla crisps 🤤

Summerhillsquare · 25/11/2024 08:10

Possibly not in the spirit but their low fat ridged crisps are so tasty. A good thickness, which is hard to find these days.

Bjorkdidit · 25/11/2024 08:22

Mixed cocktail nuts

Combo mix. Other flavours are available.

Also florentines.

But if the tortilla chips were chorizo and paprika flavour, or similar, I think they've been discontinued Sad

Oh vey happy for 'ordinary' suggestions, I like crisps with a sandwich but haven't been buying them as trying to lose weight so looking forward to some treats, Eve normal ones, at Christmas. Thank you

They were just plain but particularly nice (in my opinion anyway!)

All of the combo mixes.
Full of flavour crisps.
Pigs in blankets and hot honey crisps from the sandwich area.
Tins of nuts, think there is a cocktail
mix at the moment.

Their pita chips are divine,

Their Cornish Cruncher cheese biscuits. Far too few in a pack, though!
