As the Easter season hops into full swing, Australians are not only looking forward to the traditional long weekend but also to the sweet indulgences that come with it.
While chocolate eggs and hot cross buns are perennial favourites, Woolworths has once again captured the hearts (and taste buds) of dessert lovers with the return of a much-loved treat that’s as delightful as it is affordable.
The supermarket behemoth has reintroduced its Easter Mini Dessert selection, a tempting tray of 20 miniature desserts that are perfect for sharing with loved ones or, if you’re feeling a bit indulgent, for savouring solo.
And at the sweet price of $25 per pack, each delectable morsel costs a mere $1.25, making it a bargain that’s hard to resist.
The buzz around these bite-sized treats is undeniable.
Australian mum and food enthusiast Chantel Hills, known for her mouth-watering social media content, shared her excitement about the selection, though she’s faced the all-too-common challenge of finding them in stock.
‘I haven’t had a chance to try them yet—every time I go to get them they’re sold out, so they must be good!’
Many share Chantel’s eagerness to sample the hot cross bun cheesecake, with calls for Woolworths to consider releasing a full-size version of this innovative dessert.
The value of these mini desserts isn’t lost on shoppers, who have taken to social media to express their approval of the price point.
‘A bakery or cafe would charge $4 for each one of those, so $1.25 a piece is good value,’ one shopper noted, while another highlighted the cost-effectiveness of the pack, saying, ‘Would cost you more in ingredients to make them all.’
Indeed, the convenience of having a variety of desserts without the commitment to a full-size cake is a significant drawcard.
For the eagle-eyed bargain hunters, there’s even more good news. Some have reported finding the dessert packs marked down to as little as $10-$12, though it seems timing is everything when it comes to snagging these deals.
The pack’s assortment includes four scrumptious flavours: salted caramel tart, hot cross bun cheesecake, fudgy chocolate brownie, and carrot cake.
Each flavour has been put to the test by dessert aficionados, with mixed reviews that only add to the fun of trying them all.
A family’s taste test video, which garnered over 25,000 views in just two days, saw the hot cross bun cheesecake earn varied rankings, while the fudgy chocolate brownie was praised for its richness.
The carrot cake, however, received a less enthusiastic response, being described as ‘a little dry’. The salted caramel tart, with its balance of sweet and salty and a pleasing base, was met with high expectations and did not disappoint.
As we approach Easter, Woolworths’ mini dessert selection clearly hits the sweet spot.
Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply treating yourself, these treats are a testament to the joy of sampling a variety of flavours without breaking the bank.
So, if you’re planning your Easter feast or looking for the perfect addition to your holiday spread, be sure to keep an eye out for these delightful desserts at your local Woolies!
