Coles Turn Aussies’ Favourite Biscuits into Hot Cross Buns!
In a move that will horrify hot cross bun purists, but will no doubt delight those with more adventurous taste buds, Coles has partnered with Arnott’s to create 2 new, limited edition flavours. Get excited because Coles Arnott’s Iced Vovo Inspired Hot Cross Buns and Coles Arnott’s Pizza Shapes Inspired Hot Cross Buns will be available in stores nationwide from Monday 5th February.
For those with a sweet tooth, Coles Arnott’s Iced VoVo Inspired Hot Cross Buns are a tasty treat, inspired by the flavours of the iconic Iced VoVo biscuit, with raspberry fudge, jellies and white chocolate, and finished with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut. Best eaten fresh, served warm with butter or toasted and filled with iced cream for an epic ice-cream sandwich.
Coles Arnott’s Pizza Shapes Inspired Hot Cross Buns are a savoury sensation, infused with seasonings inspired by Pizza Shapes, featuring parmesan and cheddar cheese and topped with “flavour you can see”. Best eaten fresh, or as an indulgent cheese toastie filled with Pizza Shapes for extra crunch.
Coles General Manager of Bakery, Kate Roff, said the supermarket was thrilled to partner with Arnott’s to create the perfect Aussie pairing.
“Our limited-edition hot cross bun range is a wonderful example of when innovation meets quality, and we take great pride in offering our customers new and exciting products that also bring about a sense of nostalgia, which is synonymous with the Arnott’s brand,” she said.
“We continue to be overwhelmed with the popularity of our other bespoke buns, and we anticipate this new range will be no different. Pizza Shapes and Iced VoVo are family household favourites, and customers will be surprised and delighted by how similar the flavours are when they try the irresistible Easter treats.”
Coles Arnott’s Inspired Iced VoVo Hot Cross Buns and Coles Arnott’s Pizza Shapes Inspired Hot Cross Buns are $5 for a 4-pack and join the classic range of buns including Coles’ Canstar Blue award-winning traditional fruit, chocolate, apple and cinnamon and fruit-free hot cross buns, as well as gluten-free traditional and chocolate varieties.
