Walkers' limited-edition Marvellous Mince Pie crisps were created just for the holiday season and they can only be found in multipacks at Tesco for £1. The festively flavored crisps are said to be moreish thanks to the way that they share notes of sweet cinnamon spice and mincemeat. The subtle and unique flavor of these crisps is bound to appeal to fans of mince pies who are looking for a different kind of experience from regular potato chips.
Walkers' Marvellous Mince Pie crisps launched alongside a few other festive flavors like Sensational Smoked Pigs in Blankets and Ultimate Roast Potato, all of which are ready to be enjoyed during the holiday season. These limited-edition crisps flavors are helping to support charitable causes, namely Comic Relief and mental well-being programs.
