Lidl shoppers are running to try ‘phenomenal’ new bakery item

Lidl has a new item in its bakery (Picture: Shutterstock / John David Photography) Lidl shoppers are going wild online over a brand new item in the bakery section.

Every few weeks, the bargain retailer releases a limited-edition selection of baked goods, switching it up between new products and returning fan-favourites.

The most recent drop in-store has seen a brand new sweet treat hit the shelves, and people can’t get enough of it.

🍫🧁 Milkybar Muffins out now at LIDL Bakery. @LidlGB @Milkybar® @Nestlé @Nestlé UK & Ireland #lidl #bakery #muffin #milkybar #uknewestfoods

Priced at £1.49, the muffin hit the shelves in Lidl’s bakery on October 1.

Despite only being out for a few days, it’s already causing a stir, with posts about it flooding TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook feeds.

The product features a white chocolate-flavoured filling inside a ‘moist’ sponge muffin, and it’s topped with a Milkybar button.

Fans have branded it ‘phenomenal’, ‘lush’, ‘unreal’, and ‘dangerous’ online, with one review by Amy Macnaughton reading: This Milkybar Muffin from Lidl is phenomenal. It’s got Milkybar cream inside too!’

Similarly, Katie Richardson commented: ‘Can confirm these are banging.’

And Amy Higham urged people to go and try one ASAP, posting: ‘You need to run.’

Wow this was sooooo nice🤩 just wish I had more choccy in the middle!!! @LidlGB

On TikTok responses were equally enthusiastic, with @nicolawalker50 sharing: ‘Got one earlier. Was class. Lidl bakery is elite.’

While @callietake2 filmed herself trying the sweet treat, but she had a bit of a mixed reaction. Callie described the muffin as ‘unbelievable’ but admitted she would have liked more of the ‘gooey’ filling inside, as hers was pretty empty.

Others said they’d had similar ‘disappointing’ experiences, but it seems to depend on the batch, as @ibelieveinghosts00 claimed their one was ‘loaded’.

It’s not been confirmed how long the muffin will be available at Lidl, but limited-edition items are usually only around for a few weeks, or while supplies last.

So, if you’re keen to give this one a try, you’ll want to be quick.

In other food news, Cadbury fans have spotted a rare chocolate bar on the shelves at B&M that’s just like a forgotten 80s favourite.

The retailer is selling Moro Gold bars, imported from Australia. These look similar to Moro bars that used to be sold in Ireland in the 80s and 90s.

McDonald’s is also getting nostalgic, bringing back an iconic product last sold in 2016 – the Snack Wrap returns to the UK fast food chain on October 6, priced at £1.99.
