If you thought Woolworths’ famous mud cakes couldn’t get any better, think again. The supermarket giant has just dropped a brand new flavour that’s already sending sweet tooths into a frenzy—and it’s a mash-up we never knew we needed.
Introducing the Choc Chip Cookie Mud Cake, the latest limited-edition treat to hit Woolworths’ shelves.
This isn’t just another cake—it’s a decadent collision of two of Australia’s most beloved desserts: the classic caramel mud cake and the humble choc chip cookie.
For just $7, you can get your hands on a 600g slab of pure indulgence, available both in-store and online from Tuesday, June 10.
So, what’s all the fuss about? Picture this: a rich caramel mud cake base, generously studded with cookie pieces, and finished with a drizzle of choc chips on top.
It’s the kind of dessert that makes you want to skip dinner and go straight to the good stuff.
Woolworths’ Chief Cake Maker, Laura McLeod, says the inspiration came from a desire to blend the nostalgia of freshly baked biscuits with the gooey decadence of their signature mud cake.
‘We’ve infused that unmistakable, beloved flavour of freshly-baked choc chip cookies right into our signature caramel mud cake,’ she explains. ‘By combining it with our popular mud cake, we’ve aimed to create an irresistible new treat.’
And it seems the gamble has paid off. Early taste testers are raving about the new creation. Content creators Nick Vavitis and Nectro Vlangos shared their first bites on social media, with Vavitis declaring the cake ‘absolutely smashing [his] taste buds right now’.
He was particularly impressed by the generous cookie topping and the abundance of choc chips throughout. Vlangos chimed in, likening the cake to ‘a massive chocolate chip muffin’ and praising the caramel ganache icing for its extra richness.
‘It’s the best mud cake since the birthday cake flavour,’ he said, while Vavitis went even further, calling it ‘definitely one of the best mud cakes they have ever released’.
It’s no surprise, then, that shoppers are already racing to try it for themselves. Social media has been flooded with excited comments, with one fan exclaiming, ‘I need this in my life—three of my favourite things ever: cookies, mudcake, and chocolate chips.’
Another summed up the mood perfectly: ‘You had me at giant chocolate chip muffin.’ Of course, there’s always one in every crowd, with a lone voice suggesting the cake was ‘a bit too dry’ for their liking—but let’s be honest, that’s not going to stop most of us from giving it a go.
Woolworths’ mud cakes have long held a special place in Australian hearts (and trolleys), with five sold every minute across the country.
They’re the go-to for birthdays, office parties, and those ‘just because’ moments when only chocolate will do.
Over the years, we’ve seen a parade of limited-edition flavours—from rainbow to cookies and cream—but this latest addition might be the most tempting yet.
Why do we love mud cakes so much? Maybe it’s the unbeatable value, the reliable gooey texture, or the fact that they’re a blank canvas for home bakers to jazz up with their own decorations.
Or maybe it’s just that unmistakable taste of nostalgia—a reminder of family gatherings, school celebrations, and the simple joy of sharing something sweet.
If you’re keen to try the Choc Chip Cookie Mud Cake, don’t dawdle—it’s only around for a limited time, and if history is anything to go by, it won’t last long. Whether you’re planning a winter get-together, a birthday bash, or just want to treat yourself on a chilly night, this cake could be the perfect centrepiece.
