    Lidl also have the chocolate-covered marzipan bars in various flavours back in stock for Christmas.
    So far I have resisted.
    I love the stollen with marzipan, but the chocolate-covered bars have never felt that enticing to me. I suppose they are best eaten thinly sliced over the course of a month.

    Marzipan is fine in small doses: beyond that it becomes pointless.

    Never knew about them, but now I know I'm tempted,
    I love marzipan, and covered in chocolate seems a match too tempting for me to resist for ever

    I love these. I have the dilemma of whether to buy them now and be tempted or leave it and risk them being sold out.:think:


    Aldi used to do marzipan hearts which were excellent as they limited my portion size but I don't think they've appeared for a couple of years. I'm also partial to cherry liqueurs.:drool:

    The Lidl pea snacks (like crisps) taste the same as the branded ones! They're very good and I think they were less than £1.50 for a multipack!

    £1.29 for 6 bags. Aldi have a similar product.

    Also: Aldi Quinoa Bites, and Lidl/Aldi Lentil curls. (The Lentil curls being the bargain of the bunch at 72p for 6 bags).

    Have decided that I need to investigate these cherry liquors.

    Lidl seems to have gone to town on their gin selection btw. Some interesting new flavours on sale, just thinking about it gives me a hangover :D

    Lidl has stopped pretending it sells organic eggs (haven't seen any there for a year), removed the shelf label and filled the space with normal eggs.

    They had a "Gin event" recently, so it'll probably be limited stock.
