Marks & Spencer has released a new biscuit that shoppers say looks so 'delicious' they will have to avoid setting foot in the supermarket just to swerve the temptation to scoff a whole packet. The new Outrageously Chocolately Blond Chocolate Coated Speculoos Creams have sparked a frenzy on social media, with customers declaring they cannot resist the indulgent treat.
Shoppers React to New Biscuit
In a post on X, a woman shared a photograph of the new biscuits and wrote: 'Will be avoiding M&S for the near future.' The official M&S account initially responded with an apology, believing the woman intended to boycott the shop due to a fault with the biscuits, but she swiftly clarified her post was tongue-in-cheek because they 'look so delicious'. She added: 'Nothing happened, I just daren't buy these as they look so delicious!'
Other commenters were quick to concur that the biscuits looked 'divine', with some declaring they would be rushing to their nearest M&S to get their hands on them, while others echoed the woman's sentiment and agreed they would need to steer clear of the supermarket to resist the temptation. One person said: 'I'll be trying them!' Another added: 'I need these!' But someone else joked: 'Changed my whole route to avoid walking past M&S and smelling their cookies. It's dark.' A fourth simply wrote: '[I have a] lack of self-discipline.'
Product Details
The product description for the biscuits on the M&S website describes them as 'outrageously indulgent' and confirms they are suitable for vegetarians. However, they are not suitable for vegans or those requiring gluten-free options. The description reads: 'Crumbly, cinnamon‐spiced speculoos biscuits with a caramelised cream filling are generously coated in blond chocolate. With more chocolate than biscuit, these teatime treats are truly, outrageously indulgent.'
For those seeking something slightly less sweet, M&S also stocks the same speculoos creams coated in milk chocolate rather than blond chocolate, which should prove equally delicious without the additional sugar hit from the sweeter variety. A full packet of the blond chocolate biscuits weighs 191g, and per 100g, the biscuits contain 531 calories. They also contain 41.9g of sugar per 100g, and 17.3g of saturated fat.
