Jaffa Cakes has been on a roller coaster ride over the past year. With so many new flavors for die-hard fans to try (cassis, we're looking at you), enjoying Jaffa has never been more exciting. But don't rush, because the best is yet to come; McVitie's is launching donuts made from Jaffa cake. Yes, you read that right. Where can you buy Jaffa Cake Jonuts (perhaps the best name ever) and try it yourself.
Jonut (which is a combination of Jaffa Cake and Donut, wouldn't you know) were first teased back in April on the @newfoodsuk Instagram page, which promised they would be "coming to Tesco soon". Look no further; you'll be able to buy these beauties starting this Sunday, May 16th.
McVitie's describes the delicious treat as "layers of crunchy dark chocolate, light springy sponge and tangy orange filling in a donut-shaped ring...". They will be sold in Tesco stores across the UK, priced at just 60p each or £1.99 for a pack of four. What's more, the packaging of these goodies will be recyclable, which means you can pick up that box of four too, right? !
As well as Tesco, Jonuts will also be available at other retailers from the end of June.
Emma Stowers, brand director for McVitie Plaid UK and Me, said of the new products in a statement: "We love hearing Jaffanatics debate our Jaffa Cakes , and the launch of our Jaffa Jonuts is sure to spark further discussion!”

"We are excited to offer new flavors to our fans as the fusion of Jaffa cakes and donuts creates an exciting and original taste experience for those who love gourmet treats."
I'll see you in Tesco this weekend.
