Margarita Pizza Puffs (Tesco) by @Cinabar

Our Tesco Express does not seem fully committed to the idea of new Christmas snacks yet. They have some lovely seasonal products in stock, but they are hidden right at the top of the shelves rather than being proudly on display. Once Halloween has passed I am quite happy for Christmas goodies to be out, but for now I am having to keep my eyes open.

These Margarita Pizza Puffs do not sound especially festive, but the design on the bags place them firmly in the new Christmas range. We had them on a film night and watched Fantasia on Disney to mark the eighty fifth anniversary of the film yesterday. I poured some into a bowl and could not believe the size. They are enormous. I was expecting something Wotsits sized but these are huge and tower over everything. They do look great in bowls though.

I gave one a try and the first thing that hit me was the crunch. It is spectacular. They are super crisp to start and then soften a little. I love the texture on these giants.

The flavour is spot on. There is plenty of tomato, a good hint of cheese and lots of Italian herbs. Spectre thought there was a touch of pesto too. They are undeniably Italian and wonderfully seasoned. I loved them and we will definitely pick them up again well before Christmas. As for Fantasia, there was not as much Mickey as I expected, but the film is full of imagination and very clearly was ahead of its time.
