Country Choice Parades the Easter Basket
09 March 2020
Country Choice will be heading up the Easter parade with a basket full of thaw and serve confectionery to tempt purchase during the second largest sales event of the year. Alongside a must-have six-pack of fruited and spiced Hot Cross Buns, the range also includes a gingerbread bunny, themed cupcakes, mallow nests, tarts and cornflake cakes.
The Easter Cupcake comes decorated with two flavours of icing, either lemon or chocolate, with chocolate shavings and a colourful chocolate mini egg. The Easter Mallow Nests have a sweet biscuit base, a layer of mixed fruit jam topped with fluffy marshmallow, finished with a chocolate flavour coating, milk chocolate vermicelli and a mini egg. Both individually wrapped treats have a 14-day shelf-life once defrosted. This year there is no need to wait for the Easter bunny, stock up with Gingerbread Bunnies instead. The rabbit-shaped ginger-flavoured biscuits are finished with chocolate decorations and come in cases of 30s.
Two year-round lines that are always popular at Easter are the Cornflake Cakes and Bakewell-style tart. The popular chocolate-flavoured cereal cakes are topped with chocolate eggs and sugar strands and come packed 20 to a case. The Bakewell-style tarts, available in both lemon and chocolate flavours, have a wrapped shelf-life of four days once defrosted and are packed 24 to a case, the first tart is a sweet pastry shell filled with a lemon-flavoured frangipane, topped with lemon fondant, while the other holds a chocolate sponge topped with chocolate fondant and a white chocolate decoration.
