Marks & Spencer's (M&S) in the UK and Europe always has a good food hall full of decent food, and they always make a special effort at Christmas & Halloween. I remember almost 40 years ago wondering what my Grandma would pick out to let us have on the weekend nearest spooky Christmas and whether I'd be able to go and pick up more in the first week of Nov sale.
So it's no surprise that 2024 is a bumper crop year - with Bursting Blisters looking like the most out there exciting idea.
I mean there is a decent array of choices...
Seriously - they've pushed the spooky boat out this year! They even do ghost train tins which I'd struggle to justify getting. We have had some younger children chaotically run up and down the street recently so I suspect that putting a spooky tree in the front window will result in a few knocks.
The blisters themselves are the right amount of disgusting, in that the package is a little too creepy and the insides might as well be an easter egg.
Well - half egg anyway - how sweet
Except it's filled with alien goo!
Thankfully these blisters taste a lot like sour Granny Smiths apples and are quite scrumptious.
M&S Chocolate is decent too so you don't feel like this is a gimmick - buyers - pop these in a spooky chocolate box with some red ones and orange pumpkins (using the pink pig & orange pumpkin choc mix) and sell them to the grown-ups too. A good box of soft centred spooky chocs would go down a treat!
I have a few other little bits from the range from visit 1 - but if I see decorations going up in the street and I feel like my box of out-of-date sweets won't quite do for a whole trick-or-treat session then I might have to go back and investigate the extras.
