New Cinnamon Bun Blondies at Lidl have divided fans about the new Easter treat[/caption]
Earlier this month they launched Mini Egg Brownies which featured a brownie base and a layer of chocolate covered in pieces of colourful crushed Mini Eggs.
Shoppers went crazy about the new Brownie, with the only complaint being they were too moreish.
“These are absolutely amazing!!!’ said one fan.
Another wrote: “Had one yesterday, best brownie EVER.”
A third added: ‘I didn’t think they could get much better.’
Now, the baker has added another new treat just in time for Easter – the Cinnamon Bun Blondie – and it won’t break the bank at only 89p.
Food blog Newfoodsuk shared the news about the item and it sparked a huge reaction from fans.
However, not all of them positive. One shopper said: “Bought 2 today!! They’re awful!! Also under cooked!!”
Another added: “They are very undercooked and only taste of cinnamon.”
“Vile, and taste like rubber” said another shopper.
One more shared their disappointment: “Weren’t great imo. Tasted like artificial sweeter.”
However, another shopper came to Lidl‘s defence and said: “I had one on Friday it was gorgeous.”
“It was perfect and tasted lovely” added another happy shopper.
While another satisfied shopper exclaimed: “Lovely like cookie dough!”
