As the Easter season approaches, the aroma of spices and freshly baked goods begins to fill the air, and with it comes the return of a popular treat to Woolworths shelves.
It's time to rejoice as the fan-favourite bun flavours return triumphantly, featuring exciting new and much-talked-about varieties!
These unique twists on the classic hot cross bun create a buzz among food enthusiasts, promising a delightful combination of nostalgic flavours and festive indulgence. This Easter season, these limited-edition treats will surely be a hit with their soft, fluffy texture and irresistible fillings.
In 2023, Woolworths made waves by introducing the Fairy Bread Hot Cross Bun, a delightful twist on the classic Easter treat that captured Australians' hearts (and taste buds) nationwide.
This year, they've taken customer feedback to heart and have refined the recipe to perfection.
Each pack now comes with a sachet of hundreds and thousands, allowing you to sprinkle a little magic and nostalgia atop your buns, complementing the buttery goodness reminiscent of the traditional Fairy Bread we all know and love.
Woolworths has again partnered with Cadbury to bring back the decadent Caramilk Hot Cross Buns.
These treats, packed with the creamy, caramelised white chocolate flavour of Caramilk, are sure to be a hit for those with a sweet tooth.
Donald Keith, Woolworths' Hot Cross Bun Expert and Bakery Merchandise Manager, shared the excitement:
'Customers could not get enough of the Fairy Bread flavour last year—it was a fan favourite—and we’re excited to bring even more of them to shelves this year.'
'Our bakery team worked hard to fine-tune the recipe and deliver an even fluffier dough with white chocolate chips.'
'We want customers to enjoy all of the elements that remind them of Fairy Bread, putting a modern twist on an old classic.'
For those who cherish tradition, fear not. Woolworths continues to offer a range of traditional flavours, including award-winning traditional fruit buns brimming with Australian sultanas and currants.
The Traditional Fruit 6-pack remains a staple, alongside the Mini Fruit 9-pack and a Fruitless Bun 6-pack for those who prefer their buns sans fruit.
'When it comes to Hot Cross Buns, Aussies love all varieties, both traditional and non-traditional, which is why we’ve brought a range to stores this year that serves up something for everyone,' Donald added.
The range available in stores and online includes the limited-time Fairy Bread Hot Cross Bun 4pk, the Cadbury Caramilk Hot Cross Buns in a 4pk, and other Cadbury classics like the Chocolate 6pk and Brioche Chocolate 6pk.
For those looking for a bit of luxury, the Brioche Fruit 6pk and the Luxurious Richly Fruited Hot Cross Bun 4pk, filled with vine fruits, native cinnamon myrtle, cranberries, and candied orange peel, are sure to impress.
And let's not forget the Apple & Cinnamon Hot Cross Buns 4pk, which feature sweet cinnamon chips and Australian Pink Lady apples.
Woolworths has also thoughtfully included gluten-free options in this year's range, with the GF Traditional Fruit 4pk, the GF Apple Cinnamon 4pk, and the GF Chocolate 4pk, ensuring that everyone can partake in the Easter festivities.
So, whether you're a traditionalist, a connoisseur, or someone with a penchant for the sweeter things in life, Woolworths has got you covered.
But remember, these seasonal delights are available for a limited time only, so be sure to hop to your nearest Woolworths or visit their online store before these exclusive flavours disappear.
