If there's one thing I love about the holidays, it's that it's a time when the focus is really put on well, fancy food. Here are some of my favourite fancy and festive treats from some top Irish brands..


I'm being incredibly serious when I say I wait all year for these moutwateringly crumbly gluten free mince pies to reappear. Obsessed.

This mouthwatering fudge has been a firm fave for a while now. I think the best one is salted caramel!

This mouthwatering salt is always in my kitchen, and comes in a range of unique flavours like wakame seaweed and smoked. The brand also produces nougat and sea salted fudge which is too die for. This gift box is a great way to treat someone special - or for you to try out their range!

I'm a sucker for a good cheese board and now I've taken to curating charcuterie boards too. The offer a range of carefully curated options and if you're a cheese lover, they're your one-stop shop this holiday season. I'm partial to a nice Cashel blue..

A fancy chocolate box is a must during the festive season and these exquisite artisan chocolates from Grá - which means heart in Irish are most definitely something truly special. They take three days to make and are hand painted so they really look almost too good to eat..

I can confidently say I'm a chili sauce connoisseur and love to spice things up with some fiery heat so I fell in love with Mic's Chilli when I first discovered it. My favourite chili sauces is the Inferno Extreme - it's marketed as judgement day for chili lovers! If you want to add a little kick to the holiday menu, you need to check out their collection of sauces.
