Our last day of our ‘pretty in pink panookie’ 💖 - this one has been a favourite so we continued with this flavour for an extra week, but tomorrow we will be saying hello to a new flavour!

… well not quite a new flavour, as part of our ten year bringing back old favourite desserts we are bringing back a previous favourite panookie flavour.. any ideas what it may be? If you can guess exactly what previous flavour Panookie we are bringing back we will shout you the new panookie flavour on us!… HINT: a combo or blend of two sweet ideas.

we will also be showcasing another favourite dessert tomorrow that was featured in one of our spooktacular Halloween weeks, something a little bit out there & made to look like something not edible, something that may gross a few out but we assure you it tastes delicious! More details on this dessert soon… stay tuned !

Happy Sunday ✨ 🍪 🍦
