We are falling a long way down the rabbit hole now. After "cola bottle" flavour last year (which were passable), the latest flavour to hit the shelves is "Hot Honey".
This isn't some weird unknown company doing this. It's McVities (admittedly now part of some massive conglomerate) who keep pushing the flavour envelope with new random tasting jelly.
So what are hot honey Jaffa Cakes like? They have a sort of honeyish initial taste, but it's hard to tell. Could be fruit. Could be brown sugar. The heat is in a slight zingy chilli pepper aftertaste that lingered for a good 10 seconds or so. The overall effect was, mmm, damp squib, really.
I wouldn't recommend these if you're looking for a packet of Jaffa Cakes to crack open when company comes over. Unless you don't like the prospective company, in which case they would be ideal.
They have conveniently labelled the packet as well, to make sure you don't accidentally give them to someone you like.
Also, McVities are leaning into the biscuit v cake debate with a humorous bar code! (Well I found it funny!)
