This month, Marks & Spencer went viral with their Japanese-inspired strawberry sandwich.
And now, if you head to the bakery in your local M&S you’ll find a new craze: Chunked N’ Loaded cookies.
In a supermarket first, these cookies have both a topping and a filling, akin to brands like Ben’s Cookies and Crumbl Cookies.
They’re freshly made in the bakery, and did we mention it’ll only cost you £2?
The cookies are available in three flavours: Raspberry Cheesecake, Chocolate & Hazelnut, and of course, the flavour of the year – pistachio. (Honestly, if we have to hear about Dubai chocolate one more time…)
It’s no surprise that M&S has gifted shoppers with these new cookies, given that last year, the supermarket sold 46 million individual cookies, including the Speckled Egg cookies which sold 710,000 in a single week.
And fans are already going wild for this new offering, with many already struggling to get their hands on one in their local supermarket.
Reviewing the treats, TikToker Darcie Ratcliff said: ‘It’s like a Ben’s Cookie, it’s literally the same texture… it’s a throwback. It’s not dry at all, squidgy centre, crunchy outside.’
She gave the Raspberry Cheesecake flavour, with a smooth chocolate drizzle and freeze-dried raspberries, an 8.5 out of 10. It features an all-butter cookie dough with a generous amount of white chocolate chips.
Fellow TikToker Carmie Sellitto branded the cookies ‘unreal’ giving them a nine out of 10, and seemed to be a particular fan of the Chocolate & Hazelnut.
‘For someone who had a crumbl cookie, these are better,’ he said.
Think a chocolate flavoured dough made using an all-butter recipe with hazelnuts and dark chocolate chips. It’s then filled with a rich, gooey chocolate and hazelnut filling and topped with a milk chocolate drizzle and chopped roasted hazelnuts.
The Pistachio cookie, if that’s your thing, is made up of a white chocolate chip and pistachio cookie dough, flavoured with Sicilian lemon and filled with pistachio butter and rich cream cheese.
To top it off there’s some white chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios to garnish.
People on social media were also desperate to try the treats, saying: ‘I fear I may never successfully stick to a calorie deficit and it will always be M&S’s fault.’
‘That raspberry cheesecake cookie has me written all over it,’ added another.
Others branded them ‘phenomenal’ and claimed they ‘need these in [their] lives’.
