Arnott’s Shortbread Bites have been created in collaboration with Barker’s of Geraldine and are proudly made in New Zealand. These melt-in-your-mouth bites are lovingly batch baked and are available in three delicious flavours: Black Doris Plum, Mixed Berries and Sweet Feijoa. Inspired by a ‘Taste of New Zealand’, Arnott’s worked closely with the team at Barker’s throughout the process to ensure their high-quality New Zealand fruit purees are complimented by the trademark buttery profile that we expect from a shortbread. With real fruit puree baked into every batch, you can be sure that every bite-sized piece is packed with flavour.

20 reviews for Arnott’s Shortbread Bites – Black Doris PlumWrite a review
As a once or twice a year shortbread maker, I was pretty disappointed with these. Not buttery at all, could not taste any plum flavour – which is one of my most favourite fruits and biscuits were quite dry & crumbly.
+ PROS: Smaller portion
- CONS:Texture
Lack of flavour
Price

Super tasty – these did not last long once opened – and as they were small it was easy to convince ourselves that “just one more” would be fine HA HA.
Would definitely recommend.
These weren’t overly sweet and had a hint of fruity bitterness from the plum. Quite dry and not as buttery as I’d expect a shortbread to be. My young son loved them and they were the perfect size for him.
+ PROS: - good size for small hands
- something a bit different
- CONS:- dry in texture

Hard for a shortbread but flavour was nice
+ PROS: Nice flavour
- CONS:Not really a shortbread consistency and for the price I probably wouldn't buy
The smell of these cookies is delish. Smells perfectly like a black doris plum. No fakeness at all to the smell or flavour. The smell is very inviting. I found the texture to be a little too firm for shortbread but thats the only negative except the price.
+ PROS: The authentic smell and flavour.
- CONS:They are a bit too firm.
The box is $5 so we probably wouldn't buy it often as that's too expensive.

Not very shortbread like. Didn’t have that good buttery taste of a proper shortbread. Couldn’t discern any Plum or chocolate flavours either
