Sainsbury’s is selling the all-new Hot Cross Bun flavoured Custard Cream biscuits for just 65p.
Bargain hunters and snack-time lovers flooded the comment section after news of the arrival was shared on social media.
Posting about it on Facebook, one customer wrote: “New Hot Cross Bun Custard Creams spotted at Sainsbury’s.”
Another intrigued shopper said: “Interesting one. Would love to try these.”
Meanwhile, a third person wrote: “Adding these to my Saino’s shopping list.”
“Oooh, I need to dunk them in my cuppa,” agreed a fourth.
It comes after a flavour of an iconic biscuit branded “Aussie gold” has landed exclusively in a major supermarket.
The Australian treat, Tim Tam, has come out with a new extra chocolatey flavour.
Fans have obsessed over the choc, which launched in the UK last year.
Now, UK shoppers can get their hands on the latest edition, which has an extra layer of smooth milk chocolate added.
Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam’s International Marketing Manager, said: “For over 60 years, Tim Tam has been Australia’s favourite chocolaty biscuit.
“We’re excited to bring another irresistible addition to the UK, offering the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers.”
Chocolate lovers rejoiced when the biscuits became available in the UK for the first time last year.
And were available at Waitrose and Ocado, before then being stocked at Tesco.
It comes as iant bags of Quality Street chocolates are scanning for just £2.50 at Sainsbury’s tills.
Originally the Quality Street refill packs were selling for £8 but a few weeks after Christmas supermarkets have slashed prices in hopes of getting rid of their extra stock.
