Jaffa Cakes Cola Bottle Special Edition (Tesco) By @Cinabar

Well, this is a bit of a different twist on a Jaffa Cake. Although we have had different flavoured Jaffa Cakes before (blackcurrant was awesome), I think this is the first non-fruity one. And it is a bit of a curious combination, too. Here we have Jaffa Cakes Cola Bottle Special Edition; yes, these ones are flavoured like the popular sweets. I’m not sure cola and a chocolate coating sound like they should go together, but I'm obviously happy to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I opened up the packet of Jaffa Cakes Cola Bottle Special Edition, and the minute the packet was opened, I could smell the playful aroma of cola bottle sweets. They did smell delicious. I gave one a try, and wow, they made this work. They shouldn’t have worked, but they did. The cola sweet taste was quite a sharp flavour, not quite zingy but more on the sour lemony side of things. This gave the flavour a fruity taste, and that made it work with the chocolate. There was such a nice contrast between the cola and the rest of the Jaffa Cake. They were zingy and moreish, one of the nicest limited editions they have done. They are even up there with the blackcurrant. Who knew this would work, but I think the lesson learnt is to never doubt a new variety of Jaffa Cake.
