M&S has brought back its strawberry and cream dessert sandwich that went viral last year, and now customers can get their hands on a new version.

Shoppers can find the Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme Sandwich, which was inspired by Japanese fruit sandos, in UK stores.

That's not all, as the supermarket giant is launching a new Chocolate, Strawberry & Pistachio Creme Sandwich, as reported by creatorzine.com.

The magazine says customers can expect a combination of British strawberries with pistachio creme and Fairtrade Belgian chocolate sauce, layered between cocoa-enriched sweetened bread for £3.50.

M&S brings back viral treat and adds new flavour to shelves

The returning strawberry treat features soft, sweetened bread filled with whipped cream cheese and strawberries and costs £2.80.

It went viral last summer, selling more than 75,000 in just five days.

Shoppers first spotted the latest creation arriving in stores this week, with food account NewfoodsUK sharing a snap of it on Instagram.

One shopper commented: “I won’t rest until I find it.”

Another customer, who had already managed to get hold of one, wrote: “I’ve just had one and it was delicious x.”

The two snacks are part of a broader summer menu showcasing strawberry and pistachio flavours.

M&S has also introduced two new dessert dips:

  • Strawberry and Cream Fruity Dip (£3.25) - made with Greek-style yoghurt, full-fat soft cheese, whipped cream, and strawberry compote.
  • Chocolate and Pistachio Velvety Dip (£3.75) - chocolate ganache blended with pistachio creme and topped with crunchy pistachio pieces.
