Festive Flavours and Ideas

It’s that time of year again when yuletide yearning takes over, filling the air with festive anticipation! This season brings the perfect opportunity to experiment with the most indulgent and decadent festive flavour pairings. Think of chocolate, nuts, peppermint, and the warm embrace of Christmas spices—just to name a few. Together, they transport us to that cosy, familiar feeling that makes this time of year so special.

No matter what base you’re working with, our Simply Topping Sauces are here to add that extra wow factor to your creations this holiday season.

Here at MWC we’ve tried and tested a variety of festive flavour combinations that are guaranteed to enchant and delight your taste buds this winter. So why wait? Now is the perfect time to explore all the flavours we offer on our website! From beloved classics like Maple Syrup and Chocolate to more exciting, unexpected choices such as Mint and Bubblegum, the possibilities are endless. Let’s dive into some festive flavour inspirations to get you started.

White Chocolate and Hazelnut

First on the list is one of our absolute favorite festive flavours at MWC. If you’re a fan of Kinder Bueno, then this combination is calling your name! The richness of white chocolate delivers a creamy, comforting taste, while hazelnut adds a layer of freshness and earthy depth.

What makes this pairing even better is the simplicity of our Simply Topping Sauces—they’re squeezable and ready to use! However, if you really want to level up your dessert game, try gently warming the bottle in a bowl of warm water for an extra smooth drizzle.

For a decadent treat, we love using this sauce on our delicious crepes. Imagine layering the folds with crumbled Kinder Bueno pieces, then topping it all off with chopped nuts or chocolate shavings. To finish, add a few curls of white chocolate for that extra touch of elegance. This combination is pure festive flavour bliss!

Mint

Next up, let’s talk about mint—a flavor that’s often misunderstood. While it’s true that mint may remind some of toothpaste, in the world of desserts, it’s a game-changer! During the winter months, mint’s icy freshness pairs beautifully with a partner that can mellow it out. Enter dark chocolate.

This classic combination has been adored for generations, and for good reason. The deep, bitter richness of dark chocolate contrasts perfectly with the zing of mint, creating a balanced and satisfying festive flavour. Whether you’re topping a bowl of ice cream or a steaming cup of hot chocolate, this pairing never fails to impress.

For an extra-special dessert, why not start with a warm waffle? Add a dollop of whipped marshmallow for creaminess, drizzle on the mint sauce, and finish with a layer of melted dark chocolate. Once it hardens, the satisfying crack of the chocolate is sure to bring a smile—even to the most stubborn Scrooge!

Speculoos

Finally, we arrive at Speculoos, the flavor sensation everyone now knows as Biscoff. This heavenly combination of winter spices and caramelised biscuit captures the very essence of the holiday season. One bite, and you’ll be transported to the cosy charm of European Christmas markets.

The warm spices and subtle sweetness make Speculoos the perfect addition to any dessert. Whether you’re drizzling it over pancakes, adding it to a cheesecake, or using it as a dip for fresh fruit, the possibilities are as delightful as the flavor itself. However you choose to enjoy it, Speculoos is a festive flavour that will never fail to impress.

You can read all about the origins of this beloved taste here in this article on Brussels Times website. This interesting piece takes a deeper dive into the history of speculoos and celebrating its Belgian heritage.
