Lidl’s New Bakery Item Sparks Debate

Lidl’s bakery section consistently draws crowds, frequently introducing exciting, short-term offerings.

Recently, shoppers have noticed a new Easter-themed item in stores – the Cinnamon Bun Blondie – which has generated a surprisingly divided response.

Priced at just 89p, this latest addition to Lidl’s selection quickly gained attention after food blog Newfoodsuk shared it with their followers. The post garnered significant engagement, racking up over 1,600 reactions and nearly 1,400 comments.

While some found the blondies underwhelming, opinions varied widely. Several customers expressed concerns about the texture. One commented: “They’re awful! Also undercooked!” Another described a “rubbery texture,” while another noted that the portions appeared smaller than previous bakery items, adding, “yes, and double the price.” Some also questioned the flavor profile, with one stating they “couldn’t taste any cinnamon” and another deeming them “not nice at all.”

However, not everyone shared these criticisms. One shopper defended the treats, praising their cinnamon content: “There was lots of cinnamon.” A second agreed, describing them as “lovely, like cookie dough,” while a third declared them simply “gorgeous” and another proclaimed they were “so good.”

Many expressed general enthusiasm for Lidl’s bakery in particular, with some tagging friends to alert them about the new product.

The Cinnamon Bun Blondie is currently available as a “limited offer,” so eager customers are advised to purchase it quickly.

This launch accompanies Lidl’s broader introduction of “moreish” Easter desserts, promising an exceptionally sweet selection for the holiday season.

Beyond these tempting sweets, Lidl is also offering substantial deals on traditional Easter dinner essentials. They’ve announced a particularly attractive offer – a complete meal costing just £1.70 per person.

  • For a full lamb dinner serving eight people, the total cost is only £13.46.
