4 Specially Selected Exquisite Mince Pies, £2.99, Aldi (from December 6)

Looked chunky and home-made with a cut-out pastry star on the top, and they felt like a mini-pork pie when we picked them up. Chunky and packed with tasty moist filling, while the sugar sprinkled over the top made them sparkle. Very nice. Verdict: Rustic charmers ★★★★
