Marks & Spencer has driven fans wild with a limited-edition snack that's leaving customers unable to resist the "perfect little nibble".
The high street retailer's "moreish" offering combines roasted peanuts with a fiery jalapeño and dill seasoning alongside sweet corn kernels glazed in hot honey caramel.
According to the retailer, their Jalapeno Pickle-Flavoured Peanuts & Hot Honey Corn delivers "full-on flavour" through its tantalising pairing of spicy and sweet elements.
The product first launched in June as an exclusive addition to M&S Foodhalls across the nation.

However, his review highlighted some shortcomings. While the peanuts delivered "a nice chilli kick", he couldn't detect any jalapeño flavour.
The pickle element resembled "more like a vinegar glaze on the nuts" rather than the advertised seasoning, he said. As a result, John concluded he wouldn't buy them again, although he "wouldn't put anyone off giving them a go".
