Sure, Iced Vovos are good on their own, but team them with the fluffy deliciousness of a hot cross bun and you’ve entered a whole new world of flavour.

That’s what the snack geniuses at Coles have done with their latest collaboration of the Arnott’s Iced Vovo Hot Cross Bun, now on shelves. It’s also far less questionable than the Pizza Shapes Hot Cross Buns that have been raising eyebrows of late but who are we to judge?

The childhood (fine, adulthood too) favourite of raspberry fudge, jelly, white chocolate, and finished with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut is the makings of an epic ice cream sandwich or perfect as is.

This collab is just the latest in a whole range of limited–edition hot cross buns specials from the supermarket giant, with Coles General Manager of Bakery, Kate Roff, saying, “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 the irresistible Easter treats.”

The limited-edition buns are the latest to roll out of the Coles bakery following the success of flavour mash-ups including Vegemite buns, Red Velvet buns, Carrot Cake buns, and – for better or worse – Burger Sauce hot cross buns.

Gone are the days of asking whether chocolate belongs in a hot cross bun. Simpler times.

The limited-run Pizza Shapes and Iced VoVo Hot Cross Buns retail for just $5 for a 4-pack, and we’re not even mad if they stole our idea.
