Greggs doughnut hack to get ‘free’ sides – ‘How did I only just find o

As well as its delicious offering of pasties and sandwiches, Greggs also has an array of dessert treats, including its much-loved yum yum. TikTok user Mollie Alyssa (@Molliealyssaxx) claims to have a hack which can take your yum yum experience to the next level.

She shared the fast food hack on TikTok, where the video has been liked 67.8k times at the time of writing and has been shared 675 times.

In the video, Mollie explained: “Greggs life hack. Ask for your yum yum hot and you get a free chocolate and salted caramel dip.”

She added: “How did I only just find out?”

Another TikTok user, Adonis Live (@adoniscrashboom), also put the hack to the test and explained exactly how to do it.

In his video, Adonis said: “Start by grabbing that sweet treat doughnut and give it to the cashier and ask for yum yum.

“They will chop it up and give you salted caramel dip and heat that doughnut up to a piping hot level that helps the dip caramelise onto the sweet treat.

But I must warn you, this dessert is very sweet and the doughnut comes very hot.”

A Greggs spokesperson confirmed the hack does work at certain stores. They told Express.co.uk: “For those looking to try the Hot yum yums in store, customers can search for shops ‘open late’ on the Greggs Shop Finder at greggs.co.uk.

“We’re excited to introduce a new twist on our yum yums, whether customers are team chocolate or salted caramel, we’re sure they will become a new favourite.”

Greggs is also offering customers who order through Just Eat to enjoy a yum yum for free.

The offer, which will run from Thursday, October 20 until Wednesday, November 23, means customers can indulge in a warming sweet treat as the UK heads into colder weather, alongside a tasty dipping sauce with a choice of either salted caramel or milk chocolate.

Usually £2.70 in shops, the deal is available exclusively on Just Eat and offers customers who spend £12.50 or more after 4pm a free serving of the new addition to the menu.
