I don't think i'm exaggerating when I say that the M&S Combo Mix 'crisps' might just be the best crisps on the planet. They're one of those snacks that immediately disappear from the pack you've suddenly just opened, and they're fun! Everyone has a favourite shape. (For reference, mine is the slightly ridged, concave ones every single time.)
And we've just spotted that M&S has created an even better for Christmas! The've given its iconic Combo Mix a festive makeover with a brand-new Pigs in Blankets Flavour Combo Mix, combining the same addictive crunchy potato shapes with an irresistible smoky, savoury flavour of one of Christmas dinner's greatest dishes. Ultimately expect rich pork and bacon notes with aromatic herbs that somehow capture all the flavours of pigs in blankets in crisp form.
What makes Combo Mix so addictive, though, isn't just the flavour – it's the mix of shapes. Every handful is different, and whether you're loyal to the tubes, wheels, pumpkins(?) or ridged concave pieces, everyone has a favourite.
And, despite tasting seriously meaty, the crisps are actually suitable for both vegetarians and vegans, meaning everyone can get involved over the festive season.
They cost £2.55 for a 150g sharing bag, and we have a feeling these won't last long in our cupboards or on M&S shelves to be honest. They join an exceptionally strong Christmas line-up that already includes the Gingerbread Latte Whip, Dark Chocolate & Chilli Tortillas and the giant Big Mix Tin.
