Shoppers are going mad for a new dessert item at Woolworths, with the sauce being compared to an iconic brand of chocolate.

The supermarket giant has released a Caramelised White Chocolate Pudding, which has a price tag of $15.

Social media users are singing the sweet treat’s praises, with Emily, who runs the @snackreviews_ausTikTok account, raving about the “must try” item.

The pudding, which comes deconstructed with macadamias and white chocolate sauce, needs to be heated, along with the sauce.

“I could eat the caramelised white chocolate sauce on its own from the packet,” she said, adding it was incredibly easy to assemble.

Meanwhile, food influencer Bec Hardgrave compared the sauce to the highly loved Caramilk chocolate from Cadbury. She commented that she typically doesn’t like pudding but said it was “delicious, you have to try it”.

“Our Woolworths Gold Caramelised White Chocolate and Macadamia Sponge Pudding is the perfect Christmas dessert for those who want to partake in the Christmas pudding tradition but aren’t fans of the classic fruit flavours,” a Woolworths spokesperson told news.com.au.

“This delicious centrepiece is easy to serve – simply warm it up and then sprinkle the tasty Australian grown honey-roasted macadamia on top.

“Having won awards at both the Sydney and Tasmanian Fine Food Shows, it’s not surprising that this year’s pudding flavour is selling at twice the rate as last year’s special flavour!”

Some old favourites are returning as well. Woolies is bringing back its Christmas-themed Smash Cake, which features chocolate buttercream and sponge in a milk chocolate dome with treats inside.

The Smash Cake should be stored in the fridge and smashed when it is still slightly cold with a wooden or large serving spoon for the best results.

“Christmas is a magical time and we know many of our customers want to treat their guests with something special and memorable this season. Our Smash Cake is a real crowd-pleaser and adds theatre to the festive spread,” Jason McQuaid, Woolworths’ commercial director of chilled and bakery, said.

“It’s the perfect dessert centrepiece for the Christmas table, requiring no preparation. It’s also a great way to get the whole family involved in the celebrations – kids love to take the lead smashing the cake and discovering all the treats inside!”

In addition, the iconic Wally the Wombat cake, which is a sponge roll covered in Belgian chocolate decorations, is back in stores to help raise money for WIRES Wildlife Rescue.

A dollar from the sale of each cake goes to the organisation.
