Calling all Lidl<\/a> bakery lovers\u2026 <\/p>\n

Just when you thought the bakery<\/a> section couldn\u2019t get any better, the discount retailer<\/a> has only gone and added another new item to its range.<\/p>\n

Hot off the heels of the release of the Mini Egg Brownie<\/a> and Brioche Chocolate Croissant<\/a>, Lidl has launched a brand new Cinnamon Bun Blondie.<\/p>\n

The new product is a blondie, swirled with cinnamon and topped with a white icing, and it costs just 89p per slice. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s only been available for a few days, but numerous shoppers have already given it a try and the reaction so far has been pretty interesting, with some claiming it’s ‘amazing’ but others thinking it’s ‘vile’. <\/p>\n

A snap of the blondie was shared on Facebook by New Foods UK<\/a>, and more than 800 people have responded with their thoughts.<\/p>\n

Clare O\u2019Sullivan was a fan, sharing: \u2018I had one on Friday, it was gorgeous.\u2019 And a customer known only Shelby also thought \u2018it was gorgeous\u2019. <\/p>\n

Similarly, Leah Conway replied: \u2018Had one of these today. Was lovely, lots of cinnamon.\u2019 While Mike Swailes proclaimed: \u201889p. M&S could never.\u2019<\/p>\n

Over on Instagram, users also hailed the sweet treat as ‘amazing’, ‘really nice’ and ‘delicious’.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone was quite so keen on this new bakery item, with Jack Andrews commenting: \u2018Weren\u2019t great in my opinion. Tasted like artificial sweetener.\u2019<\/p>\n

Leigh Osborne wasn\u2019t a fan either, saying: \u2018Bought two today. They\u2019re awful. Also undercooked!!\u2019 And Danielle Marie agreed, posting: \u2018Vile, got a rubbery texture.\u2019<\/p>\n

Matt David also had one major gripe about the product, writing: \u2018Couldn’t taste any cinnamon in the ones I had.\u2019<\/p>\n

While Allyson Knox complained: \u2018Lidl brownie and blondies [are] HALF the size they used to be.\u2019<\/p>\n
