What on earth is ‘Santa’s Yumnut’?

Reading Chronicle:

Earlier this year M&S launched their new bakery creation – the Yumnut – a combination of a yum yum and a doughnut.

Following its success on the shelves, the retailer has put a festive spin on the newfound favourite – renaming it as ‘Santa’s Yumnut’.

M&S said: “Made using a unique, butter-enriched recipe, these showstopping treats are rested for a minimum of 12 hours and feature beautifully light layers.

“The dough is then fried, covered in a sweet sugar glaze and finished with a variety of indulgent toppings.”

The festive treats are available individually, or as a pack of three.

“And it’s not just our sandwiches that are getting a festive makeover, our in-store bakeries are joining in the celebrations with a menu fit for Santa, including his very own Yumnut, an oh-so-cute doughnut for Rudolph and a Mince Pie Cookie – hello.”
