Walmart has introduced a series of single-serving size desserts for the 2017 holiday season in an effort to cater to consumers who are looking for an inexpensive way to indulge in a treat.
The new lineup includes a series of pint-sized cakes and pies that come in several fruit flavor options. Other varieties include the Duncan Hines 'Perfect Size for One Chocolate Lover's Cake,' 'Big New Yorker Cheesecake,' and the Patti LaBelle 'Banana Pudding' and 'Marketside Dessert Cups.' Each of the desserts are priced under $3 to make them accessible for those who want to pick up something small rather than purchasing a larger dessert designed for a group.
The Walmart single-serving size desserts acknowledge the growing number of consumers looking for smaller and less expensive ways to indulge their sweet tooth.
