Coles and Arnott’s have teamed up for Easter, launching two new hot cross bun flavours: Coles Arnott’s Iced VoVo Inspired Hot Cross Buns and Coles Arnott’s Pizza Shapes Inspired Hot Cross Buns.

For those with a sweet tooth, Coles Arnott’s Iced VoVo Inspired Hot Cross Buns are 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.

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”.

Coles General Manager of Bakery, Kate Roff, said Coles’ Own Brand development team spent months taste-testing the duo.

“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.

“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 them,” said Roff.

The limited-edition buns are the latest to roll out of the Coles Bakery following the success of flavour mash-ups including fellow Aussie icon Vegemite Hot Cross Buns and previous flavour creations including Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns and Burger Sauce and Carrot Cake Hot Cross Buns.

Coles Arnott’s Inspired Iced VoVo Hot Cross Buns and Coles Arnott’s Pizza Shapes Inspired Hot Cross Buns are $5.00 for a 4-pack and join the classic range of buns.
