In a delightful twist that's sure to tantalise Aussie taste buds, Coles has partnered with Arnott’s Biscuits to bring a limited edition of hot cross buns inspired by your favourite biscuit flavours.
Yes, you read that right! Your beloved Iced VoVo and Pizza Shapes are now available as hot cross buns, adding a unique spin to the traditional Easter treat.
This innovative collaboration is not just about creating a new culinary sensation but also about bridging generational gaps and reviving nostalgic memories.
Deb Salter, a grandmother of three, shared how the new hot cross bun flavours reminded her of the times she prepared snacks for her children—and now her grandchildren.
'My kids grew up enjoying these Arnott’s biscuits for morning tea or an afternoon snack. Now I can share the same tradition with my grandkids,' she said.
'I have no doubt the new hot cross flavours will create nostalgic memories for many Australian families.'
Her nine-year-old granddaughter, Ava Heffernan, was equally thrilled about the flavour mashups.
'At home or visiting Grandma Deb’s house, I’m always in the cupboard looking for sweet biscuits. I love Iced VoVos, so it’s awesome to eat it as a hot cross bun flavour—it’s so [yummy].'
The Coles Arnott’s Iced VoVo-inspired hot cross buns are a delightful blend of the classic flavours of the iconic Iced VoVo biscuit.
They feature raspberry fudge, jellies, and white chocolate, all topped off with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut.
On the other hand, the Coles Arnott’s Pizza Shapes-flavoured variety is a savoury treat with parmesan and cheddar cheese, topped with 'flavour you can see'.
Kate Roff, Coles General Manager of Bakery, expressed her excitement about the partnership with Arnott’s.
'We continue to be overwhelmed with the popularity of our other bespoke buns, and we anticipate this new range will be no different,' she said.
'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.'
These limited-edition buns are the latest innovative creations to roll out of the Coles Bakery. They follow the success of other flavour mash-ups, including the iconic Vegemite and Cheese Hot Cross Buns and previous flavour creations like Red Velvet and Carrot Cake varieties.
Ranita Cowled, Business Director at The Arnott’s Group, believes that the 'new Hot Cross Bun range from Coles inspired by Arnott’s Pizza Shapes and Iced VoVo biscuits is the perfect addition to your morning or as an afternoon treat, which the whole family can enjoy'.
