Shoppers snag ‘perfect’ £21 brownies for £4 in A-Level results day gift deal

Described as ‘a burst of happiness in each bite’ the box comes in vegan, nut and gluten free versions and with packaging to celebrate 15 other occasions

With students up and down the country getting their A-Level results today, shoppers looking for a thoughtful and easy-to-send gift to mark the occasion have spotted a way to send delicious letterbox brownies, ‘ideal for gifting’ for £4, saving 81% on the usual price. Artisan baker Cutter and Squidge sell tempting all-natural treats nationwide from their London cafe in the heart of Soho and have won fans for their brownies, cakes and signature biskies, which are a cross between a biscuit, cake and cookie.

One of the brand’s best-sellers are their brownie boxes, which come in a range of flavours and sizes and can be posted with a special sleeve to celebrate more than a dozen special occasions from birthdays and exam results to ‘just because.’ Shoppers who stack a deal to order the treats, which have hundreds of positive reviews and have been described as ‘perfect’ by fans, can snag one for a fraction of the usual cost.

Money-saving website TopCashback offers bargain hunters who sign up as new members a £15 free bonus plus cashback on qualifying spend at thousands of online retailers. This means anyone who joins and then orders the Cutter and Squidge letterbox brownies with celebratory ‘You did it’ packaging will, by stacking the perks, effectively get them for £3.89 after everything is paid.

A-Level results day has seen many online retailers offer special deals and perks for students as they get their long-awaited results. Moonpig is offering a free well-done card and delivery to shoppers wanting to send gifts to celebrate or commiserate results, with many gifts reduced by up to 30%.

Bloom and Wild has next-day delivery for everything from biscuits to cheery sunflowers, with prices starting from £19, while M&S has congratulations gifts ranging from flowers, chocolate and wine through to a £20 afternoon tea which can be posted through the door.

Meanwhile, A-Level students can claim a host of freebies today themselves to celebrate the milestone including free pizzas, Nandos and even a free matcha latte worth £4.50 at any Bird and Blend store if they show their A-Level results and student ID at the cash desk.

Going back to the £4 TopCashback deal, the Cutter and Squidge’s mini brownie selection box includes 12 brownies in six different flavours. As standard these include chocolate and Nutella, salted caramel, classic chocolate, peanut butter fudge, white chocolate and millionaire shortbread cookie brownies but these can be adjusted to ensure nut-free, gluten-free, halal and vegan friendly options making them a great choice for recipients no matter what their dietary concerns.

Made fresh and with next-day delivery available, the brownies have a shelf life of seven days if kept in the fridge in an airtight container. Some shoppers in reviews have said they’ve frozen some to keep as a treat to last even longer.

The brownies have an average rating of 4.8 stars out of 5 based on 621 reviews. They have received glowing feedback from shoppers who have sent them as gifts for everything from exam success and birthdays through to leaving gifts and cheering up care packages, with shoppers praising them as a delicious alternative to flowers.

Another shopper said: “I send these as gifts to friends and family, and they are always well pleased with them. They make an interesting change from gifts by Interflora.”

Meanwhile, a shopper who received them as a gift having recently given birth explained: “These brownies aren’t just a treat, they’re a burst of happiness in every bite. Each mini brownie was perfectly sized for a quick indulgence.

“The variety was impressive, with different flavours and toppings that catered to every brownie lover’s cravings. From classic fudgy brownies to decadent caramel swirls and nutty delights, there was something for everyone.”

Some shoppers flagged however having difficulties identifying which flavour of brownie was which, with several suggesting labelling the flavours would be helpful. One four star reviewer said: “Brownies were lovely. But it would have been nice to know which was which. Especially with the peanut one.”

However, one shopper came up with a very unconventional negative for the brownie box, explaining: “I sent this as a present having received one for my birthday last year. Absolutely delicious and the recipient loved it. The only negative is that they’re so good that you won’t want to share.”
