I tried the £2 viral M&S Crumbl Cookie dupes and one tastes just like an iconic chocolate treat
Read on to find out which one was my favourite SNACK ATTACK I tried the £2 viral M&S Crumbl Cookie dupes and one tastes just like an iconic chocolate treat POSH supermarket M&S is becoming famous for its viral bakery treats - but are the latest Crumbl Cookie dupes any good? The posh supermarket has launched three new Chunked N' Loaded cookies with both a topping and filling, and they've been compared to Ben's or Crumbl Cookies. Advertisement 4 Senior Consumer Reporter Adele Cooke tried the new M&S viral cookies They cost £2 each and come in Raspberry Cheesecake, Pistachio and Chocolate & Hazelnut flavour. The Sun's Adele Cooke put them to the test to see how they compare to others on the market and if they are really worth the hype. Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie I'd never say no to a slice of raspberry cheesecake so I was excited to give this cookie a try. The biscuit is full of a raspberry cheesecake-style centre and is topped with raspberry chunks and a drizzle of white chocolate. Advertisement 4 I was surprised by the Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie, which smelt amazing Credit: Newfoods UK The cookie looked tasty and smelt amazing when I took it out of the bag. When I bit into it the outside was crunchy while the centre managed to stay soft and gooey. There was quite a lot of raspberry filling, which helped to keep the cookie moist. Advertisement But I wouldn't say the biscuit had a strong cheesecake flavour and I could only really taste raspberry. Score: 4/5 Pistachio Cookie I'm a big fan of pistachio and enjoyed trying the viral Dubai chocolate and M&S Big Daddy Pistachio bar, so I was excited to tuck into this cookie. 4 The pistachio cookie was disappointing and dry in the centre Credit: Newfoods UK Advertisement M&S describe it as a mixture of nutty and zesty, with white chocolate chips, nibbed pistachios and a hint of Sicilian lemon oil, with a pistachio and cream cheese-style centre. It's topped with a white chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios. I had high hopes for the biscuit but was thoroughly disappointed. The cookie was dry and crumbly, almost like a shortbread biscuit. Advertisement There was no gooey pistachio paste, as you find inside Dubai chocolate. It didn't really taste of pistachio and the chunks of nuts did little to add to the flavour. The hint of lemon was the only thing I could taste and overpowered the pistachio. This biscuit was nothing like the Crumbl cookies I've tried in the US and left me feeling disappointed. Advertisement Score: 1/5 Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookie Last but not least was the Chocolate and Hazelnut cookie, which I'm sure is set to be the most popular with shoppers. 4 The Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookie was my favourite and tasted like Nutella Credit: Newfoods UK The biscuit combines dark chocolate chips with crunchy nibbed hazelnuts. Advertisement Inside it has a rich, oozy chocolate and hazelnut centre and it is topped with a swirl of milk chocolate and a handful of roasted hazelnuts. The chocolate cookie was far the most eye-catching and made my mouth water just looking at it. When I bit into it the cookie was so soft it fell apart in my mouth. The chocolate filling was very similar to Nutella and was rich without being overpoweringly nutty. Advertisement I couldn't help myself and ate the whole thing. Of all the cookies I tried, it reminded me the most of Crumbl biscuits I had tried in the US. The texture and filling were similar to the Buckeye Brownie Cookie as both are crunchy while still being soft in the centre. Score: 5/5 Advertisement Verdict I was pleasantly surprised by the M&S cookies and can see them being popular with those who have a sweet tooth. At just £2 each they expensive for just one cookie, when you can get a bag of four from M&S' bakery for around £3. In comparisons, they are cheaper than Crumbl, which is only available in the US and costs around $28 for a box of six. Whereas you can get a box of seven cookies for £14 from Ben's Cookies, which these ones have also been compared to. Advertisement They don't have as much filling as the Crumbl version but I preferred them as they were less sickening. I can see them being popular with those who want a sweet treat on the go or an afternoon pick-me-up. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARKS and Spencer's have launched an 'epic' sweet treat which rivals an iconic American snack. Another shopper even said that they are 'better' than similar cookies on the market. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 M&S have launched a delicious sweet treat Credit: M&S 3 The brand's huge range of cookies regularly go viral Credit: M&S The brand new M&S cookies have both a topping and a filling, just like products from Ben's Cookies and Crumbl Cookies. Costing just £2, the M&S Chunked N' Loaded cookies also come in three flavours. The Raspberry Cheesecake and Chocolate & Hazelnut flavours have flown off the shelves, but shoppers are particularly excited about the pistachio flavour. One TikToker raved: 'For someone who had a crumbl cookie, these are better.' Another said: 'It's like a Ben's Cookie, it's literally the same texture… it's a throwback. 'It's not dry at all, squidgy centre, crunchy outside.' A fellow social media user even described them as 'epic'. The delicious snacks are made freshly in M&S' famed in-store bakeries. The supermarket chain's bakery regularly goes viral for its incredible baked goods, with thousands of customers rushing to buy the Eton Mess Milkshake. A twist on the dessert dish, the milkshake combines raspberry and strawberry flavours and is topped with whipped cream, dried raspberries and meringue. Foodies race to buy new Dubai chocolate Easter egg in popular supermarket - the 'filling is crazy' and it's selling FAST It costs just £4.25 to buy and is part of M&S' summer menu. The supermarket has also added a strawberry matcha to its menu, along with a cake based on the one featured in the Mathilda movie. The news comes after Dubai-style chocolate became a huge hit online, with hundreds of brands incorporating the pistachio-flavoured sweet treat into their products. Lidl launched a Dubai-style chocolate cream in May, while Aldi have started selling their own bar for just £3.99. Meanwhile, Waitrose were forced to impose a two-bar limit on its Dubai-style chocolate bars as fans were taking so many of them home. Signs quickly began to appear in stores, which read: 'No more than 2 bars per person please… because we want everyone to have the chance to enjoy our delicious chocolate. 'Thank for your understanding." A spokesperson for the brand added: 'Due to the incredible popularity of this product, we want to make sure that as many customers as possible have the opportunity to try it.'

M&S launches 3 chunky loaded cookies including viral pistachio flavour - we tried them, here's our verdict
Calling all M&S cookie fans, the supermarket has just answered our prayers and released a brand new type of cookie in three unique flavours, and this time they're getting chunky. We tried them earlier today (9 July) and this is exactly what we thought, including which one is worth your money. Launching in M&S Food stores across the nation today are three new Chunked N'Loaded cookies - raspberry cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut and pistachio. According to M&S' official Instagram, each cookie is: "Hand finished and baked daily, each bite reveals a delicious hidden centre and is LOADED with yumminess, crafted from an all-butter recipe using Wildfarmed flour, and topped with extra drizzles and delights - think melt in your mouth with a satisfyingly crisp and gooey bite!" We tried all three earlier today and were very surprised by which one was our favourite. First up was the pistachio, which was loaded with pistachio nibs on top and a white chocolate drizzle, in the centre was a pistachio paste. We're big fans of pistachio flavours (it's literally everywhere this summer) but this cookie had more of a lemon flavour to it than a pistachio, leaving us quite disappointed. Next up we tried the chocolate and hazelnut, which is meant to have a oozy chocolate centre however we found our one wasn't that gooey. It had a really nice strong hazelnut flavour and wasn't too sweet which we liked. And finally we tried the raspberry cheesecake which had a strong raspberry flavour combined with the cheesecakey filling. Easily our favourite one was the chocolate and hazelnut, with the raspberry cheesecake coming in a close second. Overall the cookies are very different to the OG M&S cookies which are much thinner and chewier, whereas these new cookies have a denser crumblier texture to them. They come in solo packages and so they're great for grabbing on the go, but at £2.50 per individual cookie, we'd probably pick the traditional five pack of cookies for value for money next time.
