Peters Maxibon has launched two new flavours to beat the heat as summer draws to a close, inspired by the nostalgia of bakery classics, the Hedgehog Slice and Vanilla Slice.

Peters Ice Cream head of marketing, Andrea Hamori, said Australia is a nation of snackers, and nothing hits quite like childhood favourites.

“As a brand that’s been shaking up Aussie snack time for over 20 years, Maxibon wanted to take nostalgia and turn it on its head,” said Hamori.

“We’ve reimagined iconic, beloved baked goods by bringing them to life with Australia’s favourite ice cream sandwich brand – Maxibon – because doing the unexpected is what we do best.”

  • Hedgehog Slice – A choc slab packed with salty sweet cookie pieces, sandwiched between two golden biscuits on one end and dipped in choc with loads more cookie pieces on the other. Baked by Maxi-Bakery.
  • Vanilla Slice – A custard flavoured slab sandwiched between two golden biscuits on one end and dipped in icing with loads of wafer flakes on the other. Baked by Maxi-Bakery.

Maxibon Hedgehog Slice and Vanilla Slice are now available in Coles, Woolworths, and independent grocery stores in a four-pack for RRP $11.50, and in single packs for RRP $5.60.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
