I tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls – the tasty winner was £1.20 cheaper than M&S
My winners are impossible not to wolf down in one go THE BUN WOT WON IT I tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls – the tasty winner was £1.20 cheaper than M&S CINNAMON buns are rolling in the sweet taste of more success. Waitrose recently reported a surge of 381 per cent in online searches for them. Advertisement 9 Laura Stott has tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls Credit: Damien McFadden But if you don't want to pay over the odds for costly versions to go with your coffee in a shop, which supermarket's version is best to enjoy at home? Laura Stott tucked into a selection and gives her verdict. Danish Cinnamon Whirl x 2 , Sainsbury's bakery, £1.75 9 Sainsbury's offering seemed small compared to the others Credit: Damien McFadden SMELLING exactly as sweet and spiced as you want, sadly they are more like the Danish pastry part of their title than a traditional big bouncy bun. What you get is thinner and flatter puff pastry spirals with a brown sugar filling woven through. Advertisement read more on taste test THE LOW DOWN I tested best supermarket low alcohol booze - winning wine was like a pudding More cinnamon flavour would be welcome but what's there is evenly dispersed and the pastry is rich and buttery. Despite these positives, they seemed small compared to the others I tried and it is noticeable that they have no icing on top. Also very messy to eat as when you bite into it, the wheel shape quickly starts to unravel meaning your cake falls apart. Not very satisfying. Advertisement Rating: 2/5 'You can spend just 1p in Lidl & get free food' savvy shopper says as she nabs a bakery treat without paying every time' The Cake Shop Cinnamon Buns x2, Morrisons, £2.39 9 Morrisons' bun has way too much icing Credit: Damien McFadden VERY sweet and smothered with soft cheese icing. In fact, they are drizzled with so much topping, you can barely identify anything else. Advertisement I like icing on top but this was too much for me. It was so abundant it had dripped all over the whole pastry as well as all over the packet. Not only did it make these exceedingly messy to eat but you could barely taste the cinnamon spice that should have been the star of the show. The bits of the cake I could taste were nice enough and they are a good size, raised in the middle with a very generous serving. Advertisement But it was hard to get beyond the thick and gunky topping. Not cheap either, for supermarket own buns, these were noticeably pricey compared to others. Rating: 2/5 Cinnamon Buns x 2, Tesco, £1.80 9 The Tesco buns are generous in size with lots of height and volume Credit: Damien McFadden Advertisement VERY tasty buns from Tesco that are full of flavour. I thought they were just as enjoyable as anything you could buy from a fancy bakery. They are generous in size with lots of height and volume and covered in cream cheese icing. When you bite in they are soft, tasty and plump. Advertisement There is also a visible amount of brown sugary cinnamon running throughout and plenty of topping – but it is not so much that the treats become sickly. They are very sweet but they look lovely and smell delicious. They are a great price, too. Impossible not to wolf down in one go. Perfect with a cup of coffee in the sunshine for the cafe experience without the inflated cost. Advertisement Rating: 5/5 Cinnamon Buns x 2 Asda, £1.74 9 These are well balanced with a nice amount of icing Credit: Damien McFadden A LOVELY dark golden hue gives them that fresh bakery appeal that should start to make your mouth water. And when you tuck in, these are tasty, rich and generous with a generous portion of warming cinnamon filling, giving you a nice sugary hug for the ultimate comforting pick-me-up. Advertisement Well balanced with a nice amount of icing which is plentiful enough to ensure the buns are sticky and gooey – and there was quite a lot of the icing still stuck to the packaging! I'd happily buy these again if I fancied something sweet. Very well priced too, these won't blow the budget. Rating: 4/5 Advertisement Cinn-a-yum Buns x 6 M&S/ £3 9 These are smaller individually than others but they are designed to be bite-sized Credit: Damien McFadden I LIKED the tear-and-share style of these iced buns. They are smaller individually than others but they are designed to be bite-sized, it's not that you've been offered a stingy treat. The petite size makes them ideal for parties, or if you just want something sweet without indulging in a huge cake. Advertisement The cinnamon gives a good hit of flavour and sweetness with the demerara sugar. But they were rather dry and not as sticky and gooey as I like. The icing wasn't great either, it felt like a bit of an afterthought that had been quickly added on top. Nice as a little treat, though, or for a change in place of a biscuit or pud. Advertisement Rating: 2/5 The Daily Bakery Cinnamon Buns x2, Iceland, £1.50 9 These are well-shaped buns that look very appetising and don't disappoint Credit: Damien McFadden REALLY well priced and they taste very good, too. If sweet and sticky is your idea of heaven, you will love these. Each one has loads of cinnamon powder sprinkled on top so you can really smell and taste the spice when you open the packet. Advertisement Well-shaped buns that look very appetising and they don't disappoint. The pastry is rather dense but it is not to their detriment, it just makes them a bit more filling. Absolutely packed with cinnamon sugar filling too so you get your money's worth on the flavour and there was just enough icing to give the stickiness you want without being overwhelming and gunky. Very nice and extremely affordable. Advertisement Rating: 4/5 Cinnamon Bun x 1, Lidl bakery, 79p 9 Lidl's are extremely generous in size with plenty of height and a very gooey and generous icing Credit: Damien McFadden DENSE and yeasty with plenty of appeal when you look at it too. Very sticky and a dark golden brown colour from a thick layer of cinnamon sugar which also gives a lovely fresh aroma. Advertisement It tasted lovely and fresh, very treacly and rich with soft pastry and a crispy outer, alongside a plump bouncy feel in the mouth. Extremely generous in size with plenty of height and a very gooey and generous icing. This was probably the biggest bun of all the ones I tried so everything is amplified, from the amount of pastry on your plate to the cinnamon flavour in each bite. Perfect with a cuppa as a mid-afternoon pick me up. Advertisement Rating: 4/5 Village Bakery Cinnamon Buns x 2, Aldi, £1.49 9 These from Aldi are very different to all the other buns Credit: Damien McFadden VERY bizarre buns. A bit different in style to most and I wasn't a huge fan of the change. They don't seem anything like traditional cinnamon buns – instead they resemble the soft wholemeal rolls you might make a cheese sarnie with. Advertisement When you bite in, they are extremely sweet, heavily flavoured with cinnamon and a cream cheese American-style frosted filling. More like an iced bun, they are very sticky and sickly and I found the similarity to a brown bap a bit disconcerting. There's no textural notes either, everything is very mushy. Although they don't have the plate appeal, if it's just an affordable sticky sweet cinnamon treat you want, they'll do the job. Advertisement Very filling, too.

Shoppers spot new flavour of chocolate Maltesers pouches on shelves with twist on festive favourite
CHOC SHOCK Shoppers spot new flavour of chocolate Maltesers pouches on shelves with twist on festive favourite Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS have spotted a new flavour of Maltesers pouches on the shelves with a twist on a festive favourite. One user picked up dozens of likes and comments this week for her review of the treat on Instagram after finding a pack of five in a huge supermarket. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The new flavour has not gone down well with one reviewer Several chocolate fans have posted photographs of Maltesers Mini Reindeers Gingerbread Flavour on social media. It comes just days after shoppers spotted White Chocolate Maltesers as part of the meal deal options at Asda. The Mini Reindeers snack is on sale in Asda for £1.80. They are currently out of stock at Tesco and not yet listed at Aldi or Lidl. Another_snack_reviewer described the new pouches as "milk chocolate with a gingerbread flavour malt filling and honeycombed pieces". They added: "Yes, I realise this is a Christmas product and yes I realise it's only July. But I've always said if it's on the shelves then I'm gonna buy it! "I'm a big fan of the reindeer/bunny range (white chocolates are obviously the best) so I was super excited to see a new flavour!" Foodies race to Iceland to get their hands on a giant Maltesers bubble bar that's perfect for a Christmas dessert The review continued: "Unfortunately these didn't quite do it for me. "While the malty, honeycomb flavour was there and the texture was the usual creamy yet crunchy one which I love, the gingerbread just wasn't strong enough against the other elements. "It did come through more in the aftertaste but I still would have preferred it to be a tad punchier." This prompted several responses from other users. One wrote: "Shame as I was so excited for the gingerbread flavour of these" while another wrote: "OMG Christmas food reviews in July? I kid I kid! "If they're selling it, you've gotta review it. "Very sad to hear they aren't that tasty though. I'll stick to my favourite reindeer, the mint one." 'Add the ginger!' Another posted: "Aww nooooo I was so hoping these would be full on gingerbread." A fourth user said: "Just add more ginger, don't know if its a cost saving or worried people would find them too gingery but seriously, people who don't like ginger aren't gonna buy them so people who will buy them clearly like ginger. Add the ginger!" One user lamented: "The saddest news I've heard all week. "Was so looking forward to these as well!" Maltesers' new white chocolate snacks are available at major retailers — but sweet lovers will need to act fast before they sell out. Originally aimed at "dieting women", White Chocolate Maltesers were the white-chocolate version of Maltesers. The key difference between them and the original was that, instead of being covered in milk chocolate, they were covered in a delicious white chocolate coating. Maltesers are round balls of malted milk covered in chocolate. They were launched in 1937 after being created by American Forrest Mars Sr. Maltesers were first released in the UK and were originally aimed at "dieting women" as a "lighter" way to enjoy chocolate. They have since become popular across Europe and in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
