Marks & Spencer has introduced two new puddings described as the "ultimate" treat for fans of "picky bits" teas, just in time for the current heatwave. The desserts, available in M&S Foodhalls across the country and via Ocado delivery, have sparked excitement among shoppers.
New Pudding Options
Shoppers can choose between the "fresh 'n' fruity" Strawberries & Cream Dip and the "chocolatey 'n' indulgent" Chocolate & Pistachio Dip. M&S announced the launch on Instagram, stating: "New in the M&S Foodhall - the home of picky bits just got even sweeter." The post added: "The ultimate picky bits pudding has just dropped!"
Product Details
The Strawberries & Cream Dip features a silky strawberry compote mixed with natural Greek-style yogurt, full-fat soft cheese, and cream. M&S describes it as "smooth enough for spooning and lightly whipped for an airy finish." The Chocolate & Pistachio Dip is made with Fairtrade Belgian and Italian chocolate, British cream, and smooth pistachio, topped with crunchy pistachio pieces. According to M&S, it is "guaranteed to go viral." Both puddings weigh 170g and are priced at £3.25 each.
Shopper Reactions
Customers have expressed delight on social media. One shopper exclaimed: "Finally the perfect picnic pud!" Another pondered: "Is there anything food wise M&S can’t do?" A third added: "Omg I hope my store has them. Still waiting to see the new trifle and éclairs." A fourth Instagram user said: "We’re doing a picky bits run on Saturday morning for National Picky Bits day so we will be getting these!"
M&S encourages pairing the dips with fresh strawberries, shortbread fingers, churros, or biscuits for a perfect summer picnic essential.
