I could eat them year round, but it is a little early for Christmas food. You'll just have to find something else to spray with your cream for now

If they're shortcrust then warm with brandy butter, puff pastry just go straight in the gob.

I must have some sort of control or else I would definitely over indulge and mince pies are a weakness of mine. So I only buy 1 box for Christmas and I am already so looking forward to eating my first mince pie of the year.
