Aldi have some gorgeous chocolate covered florentines and their snowflake shaped sour cream and chive pretzels are lovely.

We went to lidl yesterday and bought- cocktail sausages, pigs in blankets, cheese and crackers, lebusken (?) Spiced biscuits, chocolate covered marzipan bites, some mulled spice drink.
Need to get sparkly J20 and pop tarts.

Already have lots of treats (bonus of working in a nursery we get ALOT of food related gifts 😂)

I bought some of the Aldi florentines last week and ate them all . They are really good. Not sure if I should risk getting any more.

This thread is making me hungry!
