As an experiment, she picked up a couple of packs of the new apple flavoured ones. Make a nice change from the "normal" ones and might even have a bit of fruit in them too!

I think apple will go quite well with marzipan.

Have a read of this. A wonderful photo included for Stollen addicts like us..Lol. It seems Stollen cake originated in Dresden.

Lidl still don't have the stollen bites in. I had to get a box of "luxury stollen". Next year I'll get three bags as soon as they come in.

The luxury stollen bites are on another level, I limit myself to two every couple of days.

Yes.I keep thinking of your post and wishing I'd known that when I picked up the pack. If I'd been on my own I'd have picked up a few of them but my wife was with me and she would, likely, raise an eyebrow .... :D

Lidl sell these. I made the mistake of trying a few the other day. Big mistake. I think they have crack cocaine in them. The caramel ones are just to good.
Now gone before the start of Christmas week :LOL:

 
Those luxury stollen bites are a bit heavy on the rum for me but I think I'll manage them. :)

After all we've said. (Andya700 ,included) when I opened my bag of Lidl/Favorina stollen bites and had one I binned the rest so I'm pleased I only bought one bag. Fortunately, when we were in Sainsburys , Helston yesterday, I took a chance and bought a box of their stollen bites.Wonderful..They're from their 'Taste The Difference" range. On the box. is written...." 9 Cranberry & Orange Stollen bites". They are just how I like stollen...moist, as it should be. I'll be buying these next year. We're going into Sainsburys again on Monday so maybe there will be a box or two left but I doubt it.
