‘Absolutely gorgeous’ scream Asda shoppers as ‘lush’ spread tasting like iconic cookies spotted on shelves

SHOPPERS are rushing to Asda to nab a spreadable sweet treat - and people say its "absolutely gorgeous".

Asda fans have been lapping up its new own-brand Cookies and Cream flavour spread. 

The condiment sells for £1.85 at the supermarket giant with the artificial flavours giving the sweet taste fans love.

Cookies and cream is a dessert flavour that includes chocolate cookies mixed into a sweet dairy product like ice cream.

Almost half of the product is sugar, with each 100 grams containing 43g of sugar.

It provides around 23 servings from one 350g jar and can be used on breads and pastries and is suitable for vegetarians. 

Happy customers posted on Facebook to let others know the new treat was on supermarket shelves.

One fan said: "The cookies and cream ones is absolutely gorgeous! We have it on our pancakes; my 7 year old loves it!"

Another said: "The cookies and cream is amazing and gluten free also a win win for my son."

While a third said: "Cookies and cream one is so sickly, my daughter loves it though."

A fourth said: "The cookies and cream one is lush!"

Fans have also been lapping up the similar new spread - an irresistibly sweet Hazelnut Praline topping. 

The £2 jar is packed with hazelnuts infused with cocoa and vanilla extract for a unique flavour.

The Sun has also tested chocolate spreads against Nutella with the winner only costing half the price.

Nutella is an instantly recognisable taste with smooth, thick, gooey hazelnut and cocoa spread - it tastes just like a whole jar of the soft centre of a Ferrero chocolate.

Lindt is also now selling a hazelnut spread to rival Nutella.

The chocolate maker claims its "smooth mixture" retains the "full chocolate aroma" of its iconic treats.
