McVitie’s launch brand new ‘Jaffa Jonuts’ – the hybrid of Jaffa Cake and doughnut in Tesco stores this May

If you’ve been on the hunt for a delightful new snack for the kid’s lunchboxes, maybe with a brew whilst you’re working from home? Or something to treat guests to when they pop over for a gossip? Then you’ll want to hear about the latest launch from McVitie’s - the ‘Jaffa Jonuts’.

The ‘ Jaffa Jonuts ’ are a unique twist on the original McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes. The new Jaffa Jonuts are a combination of two irresistible snacks featuring the much-loved Jaffa Cakes’ layers of crackly dark chocolate, light springy sponge and the tangy orange flavoured filling, now in a doughnut-shaped ring.

Our mouth is literally watering at the thought of this already…

Available as either an individually wrapped ring for 60p, as the perfect snack on the go, or in recyclable sharing boxes of four, at £1.99.

They’ve announced that a hybrid snack of Jaffa Cake and doughnut will be hitting Tesco supermarkets across the UK on May 16th.

To find your nearest Tesco, we’ve popped the store locator here for ease. You’ll also be able to find the latest opening and closing time information listed there as well.

McVitie’s have also confirmed that they will be available at Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Co-op and Waitrose, plus other retailers from the end of June - where you’ll find them in the biscuit aisle.

As the original cake in the biscuit aisle, the unconventional McVitie’s snack has been at the centre of many a debate, with the latest innovation sure to spark further discussion between Jaffa Cakes fans across the nation.

Jaffa Jonuts will join the ever-growing ‘Jaffa-nation’, alongside the Orange, Pineapple, Cherry and Passion Fruit Jaffa Cakes flavours and Jaffa Cake Bars and Mini Rolls.

Emma Stowers, Brand Director for McVitie's at pladis UK&I, said: “We love hearing Jaffanatics debate about our Jaffa Cakes, and the launch of our Jaffa Jonuts is sure to spark further conversation! We’re excited to offer a new twist to our fans, as the fusion between Jaffa Cakes and doughnuts brings an exciting and original taste experience to those who love a treat.”

The year 2020 seemed to be the year of chocolate-orange flavoured treats, and we weren’t mad about it. We saw Cadbury launch a variety of citrus-infused goodies - I mean who can forget the Chocolate Orange Twirl or Buttons? Delish!

Now if you’re a massive Jaffa Cake fan, did you know you can buy a mega box of 100 for just £5 over at Amazon.

The offer was originally spotted on latestdeals.co.uk and bargain-hunters were quick to share their joy over the sweet treat being on offer at such a great price.

The online retailer is also selling packs of 10 McVitie's Passion Fruit Jaffa Cakes for £4.25 and 10 packs of the Pineapple Jaffa Cakes for £5.40.
