The new sweet treats sound simply delicious

| Updated:

Marks and Spencer has taken sweet treats to the next level by introducing the ‘yumnut’ – a cross between a yum yum and a doughnut.

The treats are made with a butter-enriched yum yum recipe which is then deep fried and covered in a classic sweet sugar glaze and are available in six flavours, five of which are available in stores nationwide now.

Milk and Cookies, topped with a vanilla glaze, mini-cookies and a chocolate drizzle sounds particularly delicious and the sixth flavour, Double Chocolate, is available from March 24.

That one is topped with milk chocolate fondant and dipped into milk and white chocolate shards.

The yumnuts are priced at £1.15, apart from Plain Jane which is £1.

The yumnut launch follows the release of the M&S Easter range, which includes a chocolate sloth, pink chocolate flamingo and Caramel and Fudge and Fruity Easter Sundaes.

Also new to the range is the delicious sounding Collection Extra Thick Blonde and White Chocolate Egg, priced £12.
