The high-street retailer has sent shoppers wild with a festive treat that can be reused and makes the 'perfect Christmas gift'

While most of the range seems to offer something delightfully ghoulish for fans of the spooky season, one treat has caught the eye of shoppers more than the rest. Unroll a sheet of puff pastry and add a layer of cream cheese. Cut into long strips and twist. Brush with egg, sprinkle over some sesame seeds and add sunflower seeds for eyes. Bake until golden and add a small piece of pepper to create a tongue. Nothing quite says Christmas is coming like the unveiling of the Marks and Spencer festive food range. And shoppers everywhere are getting as excited as a kid in a sweet shop at the prospect of festive Colin the Caterpillars, snowman-shaped party buns and chocolate mince pies hitting M&S shops everywhere in the coming weeks.Maybe not a bargain to some but a lot of people loved these last year when I posted about them and this year they are even better.'

But if you want to try something a bit different than your usual, M&S could be the place to visit. It comes as Marks and Spencer have officially launched their October collection and there's a lot to feast your eyes upon.

And the proof is in the pudding of course. Having sampled it all I felt every element was a tasty festive treat - from the super-moist turkey, buttery carrots through to the delicious bacon-wrapped sausages. She then shared photos of the tins, including a hot chocolate house, a gold tea house and a shortbread house. Party food will come with air fryer instructions for the first time this year and will remain four-for-three to offer value for money to shoppers. M&S have also unveiled its range of desserts for Christmas, as well as a new take on the humble mince pie. Preheat oven to 175°C/150°C fan/gas mark 3. Line a pizza pan or,if you want a deeper dish pizza, an 8- or 9-inch cake tin with greaseproof paper.
