Woolworths is ringing in something particularly sweet in 2021!
In addition to the traditional hot cross buns, the Woolworths Bakery team has also worked to create new flavors and varieties to complement the mix this year.
New flavors are available in packs of four for $ 3.50 each. Flavors include mocha with Cadbury Gold Dark Chocolate Chips and apple and cinnamon with 100% Australian Pink Lady apples.
"After a difficult year, the launch of our new Hot Cross Bun range is precisely timed for customers to usher in the new year and the countdown to Easter in 2021 begins," said Paul Harker, Director of Buying at Woolworths .
“We have created an assortment that suits the different tastes of our customers. Combining the best of ingredients, including local Pink Lady apples and the nostalgic taste of popular Cadbury & # 39; s Old Gold, our hot buns bring something new to the table too. "
Mark and Jackie Paganoni are third generation farmers and supply the Pink Lady Apples from Moorooduc, Victoria, for the new hot buns with apple and cinnamon.
"As breeders of Pink Lady Apples, we are excited to demonstrate the versatility of our popular fruits and reinterpret a classic treat like a hot bun," says Mark & Jackie.
Woolworths predicts that more than 77 million hot buns will pop off the shelves before Easter.
The range also meets certain dietary requirements by including gluten-free quad packs available in fruitless, fruit, and chocolate flavors for $ 4.50.
Woolworths Hot Cross Buns are available in-store or online at Woolworths.com.au.
