I’m a food developer for M&S and here’s the 8 underrated Christmas buys – plus a £3.50 snack with the best savouries
A MARKS & Spencer product developer has shared his top Christmas buys from their new range.
Brandon Spatcher took to social media to show off the best buys available at the British retailer, where he works as a product developer.
In the clip, he whizzed around the store picking up his favourite snacks he helped make and people have gone wild over his top M&S buys.
He said: “I wanna take you guys on a journey to show you the best products from M&S you guys might not know about.”
He first started with their new collection of Christmas chocolates including the £10 Winter Sky Chocolate Box.
The chocolates are designer to look like wintery night sky and include the flavours; Dark chocolate with a peppermint-infused truffle filling. Milk chocolate with a warming ginger spice filling, White chocolate with an indulgent silky honey filling and his personal favourite, the
Blond chocolate with a crème brûlée inspired ganache filling.
Next, he moved on to the Christmas Party Light chocolates which are on sale for £5 and include five giant chocolates filed with pistachio butter.
He also said they have the best savoury mix at the moment called the Sugar & Spice Munch Mix.
Brandon said: “This Munch Mix is phenomenal. For only £3 50, you get a bag filled with the best Savoury’s in the whole entire world. Including chili coated peanuts and corn tubes.”
It also has a festive mix of honey caramelised almonds, milk chocolate covered raisins, noodles and salted pretzel sticks.
He also recommended the £2 tomatillo and jalapeno pepper sweet potato tortilla crisps for dipping.
And to make your daily porridge more exciting he swore by the banana maple syrup peanut butter for £2.65.
He also raved about the M&S collection lemon tart, as well as their basic-range ketchup and for a quick on-the-go snack, the extremely peanutty peanuts for £1.20.
The clip soon went viral over on his TikTok account @brandonspatcher with over 463k views and 52k likes.
One person wrote: “M&S food is actually worth the extra cash.”
Another commented: “Omg you have the worlds best job ever.”
“You have my dream job,” penned a third.
My M&S Xmas highlights
The Sun’s consumer editor Lynsey Barber got an early taste of Marks and Spencer’s Christmas food line up which includes 450 new items.
Here are the highlights.
White Mulled Wine, £6, 11% – 5/10
An interesting twist, but I prefer my white wine cool and crisp, so not for me.
Turkey Feast dip, TBC, – 10/10
A mouthful of Christmas, top of my shopping list and I’ll be eating it all winter.
Turkey Feast lasagne, £10 750g – 8/10
Rich and festive, another dish that is spot on with the essential flavours of Christmas, but I’d need a small portion as it’s very creamy.
Hot Honey Brie Brulee £7, 288g – 8/10
A cheesy dream, with extra zing from the hot honey and a bit of crunch, a great combo of flavours and a winter warmer.
Halloumi in Blankets with Hot Honey, £5.50, 240g – 10/10
A surprise hit with soft and creamy centres. Possibly better than the originals.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Oh my god so you’re one of the people we have to thank? Our lives are better for your work.”
“You and your team need to be knighted. M&S food is the greatest,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “You guys are my heroes.”
