The crisps cost £1 for a multipack of five and are available at Tesco, with part of the proceeds going towards Comic Relief.
They have all the flavours in a traditional mince pie – including sugar, fructose, salt, and fruit powder.
Writing on Twitter, one fan said: ‘Bravo for the truly delectable Mince Pie flavour. It shouldn’t work and they should be an abomination but it actually really does and they’re not!’
