About our mini stollen bites
Let stollen steal your heart. A delicious sweet bread filled with fruit and nuts, mixed spice and all things nice, lightly dusted with Silver Spoon Icing Sugar for a snow-kissed look. Perfect as a party nibble, or for a sweet festive treat typically enjoy in December in Germany. Made with Allinson's strong white bread flour, your stollen bites are sure to come out of the oven looking just as yummy as they'll taste.
Their rich nutty flavour from the almond marzipan and the warmth from the lightly spiced dough makes these mini bites taste just like a mouthful of Christmas. Whether you call them, Weihnachtsstollen, Christollen, or Stollen for short - we're sure you'll come back to bake them Christmas after Christmas.
