BRANDY BUTTER

WINNER Marks & Spencer Christmas Brandy Butter 78/100 £3 for 200g Our winner has a luscious, soft, whipped cream consistency, with salted caramel undertones and building brandy warmth. Initially, there was a slight sugary crunch, but it immediately melts on contact with a warm mince pie. RUNNER-UP Marks & Spencer The Collection Brandy Butter 76/100 £2.50 for 200g A luxurious, golden, whipped butter containing sweet orchard-fruit brandy and icing sugar, reminiscent of candy floss. The brandy flavour isn’t overpowering, though, so it’s a good choice for the whole family.
