Favourite Christmas "posh" treats

[showmewhatyougot]

I'm looking for some nice little treats that obviously wouldn't be brought on a normal basis.

We usually like to get some posh biscuits from Fortnum and mason and some Charbonnel et Walker chocolate truffles.

What are your little Christmas luxury's? X

Rose and violet chocolates - love them - won't name manufacturer or will be accused of making/selling them

Oh sorry, didn't think of that!

I hand on heart, brownies promise I work for non of the above named companies!

They sound delicious though!

Bath Oliver biscuits
Marzipan fruits
Amaretti biscuits
Tiptree Strawberry and Champagne Jam
Kettle crisps or Tyrell's
After Eight Straws

Oh don't worry about that, it's just that I wanted to discuss doormats and I was accused of manufacturing them, selling them, all sorts! Cray-cray

Marks cherry liqueurs. (Not posh but something i only buy at xmas. Ditto Matchmakers)

I mean cherry liqueur chocs

Pickled Walnuts. OMG! Crushed onto buttered nice crackers with a bit of mild cheese. A mouthful of Christmas right there.

Matchmakers and After Eight mints. And Cheeselets!

Marzipan fruits, fruit jellies and turkish delights

Pickled Walnuts? You can't say that then not tell us where to get them. Are they soft from the picking?

Florentines.

Molton Brown soap and moisturiser in Fabled Juniper Berries and Lapp Pine.

A mulled wine or just a candle that smells of mulled wine. Roasted nuts by the bucket load!

Oh yes, rose and violet creams... duck and orange pate, amaretti biscuits to dunk in mulled wine (try it!) Strawberry and champagne conserve, sherry...

How odd - rose and violet creams for me too. I’ve always had fortnum mason but very interested if there is another producer?

Also chocolate orange, after eights, pate and all of the cheese.

I don’t know if this counts as you have to assemble it but proper snowballs! Poncy lemonade, advocaat, freshly squeezed lime juice and fine zest.
It signals the start of Christmas in our house.

Baileys,toffeefee,cheese selection,smoked salmon

Mandelmassa almond paste (v posh marzipan)

M@S canapes, I stock up on a load and have them over Christmas when I am going to veg out in front of movies/netflix etc. I keep am eye on the reduced section and freeze them for Christmas. The mini yorkshire beef puddings are my favourite.

Tarta de Santiago - awesome Spanish almond cakey thing with a cross silhouetted in icing sugar on top. Only ever buy it at Christmas.

Also quince jelly to go with the cheese board.

Bendicks mints - especially bitter mints

Marks and Spencers pain au chocolat frozen and raw.

They taste so good when you bake them that it's a treat I will only allow myself at Christmas.

Oh and Guernsey gold top milk with some naff chocolatey cereal - perfect Christmas breakfast!

Little scarlet strawberry jam, Harvey Nichols marmalade, biscuits, chocs and nuts. Veuve cliquot champagne and Molten brown hand wash and hand cream ( I make the children use the normal dove otherwise it would be gone in a flash) we then have the usual tub mountain of roses, quality street, mini cheddars, cheese footballs, kp nuts and tins of foxes biscuits

Another rose and violets cream fan, what's the name of the maker! For goodness sake tell us you won't be accused of anything

Yy to pates... I've been trying out smoked salmon, nothing seems to taste as good as my childhood, not even the one I had delivered from Scotland. If anyone has good brand let me know
