Tasting notes

Festive spices (cinnamon, clove, star anise, nutmeg), butter

Our brand new festive bredele!

Baked exclusively for the Christmas period, our Petit Bonhomme delivers indulgence with a delicious dose of nostalgia. After all, who can resist those iconic festive flavours? Our new traditional spiced Christmas biscuit will win over sweet tooths of all ages in a single bite…

The Petit Bonhomme: a crisp biscuit bursting with festive spices…

Don’t be fooled by its simple appearance, our Petit Bonhomme biscuit has plenty of character.

Our Petit Bonhomme recipe features all of the staple ingredients that you find in our products — butter, flour, eggs and sugar — but it gets its beautiful colouring, satisfying snap and smooth caramel notes from the top-secret spice blend that our pâtissiers have carefully honed and incorporate into the biscuit dough, along with the added brown cane sugar and a little extra time in the oven.

Elsàss Mannala: the Petit Bonhomme tradition

An emblematic figure from Christmas folklore, this speciality is also rooted in another Alsace tradition: the Mannala (or Mennele, as our neighbours in the Bas-Rhin region call it) of Saint-Nicolas. Although it shares the same form of a little Gingerbread Man, our latest creation brings something new to our range whilst respecting our authentic Alsace recipes. We’ve put our own special touches on this sweet figure that’ll have you making the most of him being around throughout the Advent period…

Our serving suggestions

Snuggled up in front of a Christmas film with a hot chocolate, as the lights on the Christmas tree sparkle in the background, or alongside a steaming hot cup of tea after a wintery walk in the forest… Our Petit Bonhomme will immerse you in the magic of Christmas in true, delicious Maison Alsacienne de Biscuiterie style.
