Co-op shoppers are going crazy for a new twist on the classic mince pie flavor. The supermarket chain is now offering Black Forest flavored mince pies, but if you want to try them, you'll have to act fast.
A Sweet Surprise
The Black Forest mince pies from The Co-op are filled with a delightful combination of fruity brandy and ruby port mincemeat, morello cherry conserve, kirsch frosting, and Belgian chocolate. They come in packs of four, priced at £2.65. However, Co-op cardholders can snag them for just £2.
Shoppers Rave About the New Flavor
Shoppers who have managed to get their hands on the Black Forest mince pies are loving them. In the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one shopper shared a picture of the pies, calling them "absolutely lush." Others commented that they were addicted to the new flavor and that they were a hit in their offices.

While the Co-op website currently shows the Black Forest mince pies as out of stock online, they may still be available in stores. To find your nearest Co-op branch, you can use the store locator tool on the website.

Co-op is not the only retailer putting a twist on the traditional mince pie this year. Other supermarkets have also introduced unique flavors, such as cherry bakewell. As mince pie enthusiasts continue to explore different options, one fan even tested 130 mince pies to determine the best.
