The new luxury mince pie range introduces three distinctive flavours for 2024. The Exceptional Whisky, Fig and Spiced Honey Mince Pies (£2.50/4-pack) feature all-butter shortcrust pastry with a whisky-infused fig mincemeat filling, topped with an almond Florentine.
For those seeking a non-traditional option, the Exceptional Toffee Apple Spiced Crumble Mince Pies (£2.50/4-pack) offer a unique twist with British toffee and apple filling, crowned with a spiced pecan crumble.
The Exceptional Frangipane & Amaretto Mince Pies (£2.50/4-pack) cater to those who enjoy a boozy treat, combining Amaretto-infused vine fruit and citrus peel mincemeat with all-butter frangipane and flaked almond topping.
Asda’s festive favourites are making a comeback alongside the new flavours. The Exceptional Brown Butter Flavour & Rum mince pies (£2.50/4-pack) return with their Jamaican rum-laced filling.
The classic Exceptional Mince Pie (£2.75/6-pack) offers a traditional taste with brandy, ruby port and cognac-infused mincemeat.
For those seeking value, the Bakery at Asda Mince Pies (£1.50/6-pack) remains a popular choice. These garnered lots of praise from Asda shoppers. One said: “Delicious. Scrumptious. Tasty. 10/10.”
The Exceptional Luxury Mini Mince Pies (£2.75/9-pack) provide a perfect on-the-go festive snack.
All these options are part of Asda’s new Exceptional range, offering affordable indulgence for families this Christmas.
Asda has also catered to shoppers with dietary restrictions. The Free From Iced Mince Pies (£1.10/4-pack) return, offering a gluten-free option packed with sultanas, raisins, and warming spices.
