Jaffa Cakes have a brand new flavour and it's caused a stir
Jaffa Cakes have jumped on the Hot Honey trend and have unveiled the first-ever 'swicy' flavour.
In case you are not yet familiar with the term, 'swicy' is used to describe foods that are both sweet and spicy.
The new flavour combines the sweetness of honey with a chilli kick, which is sandwiched between the signature crackly dark chocolate and the famous sponge cake.
The controversial hot cakes are exclusively on sale at Asda stores nationwide for £1.50 for a box of 10.

They will be rolled out to other retailers from the end of July.
Over on Facebook, the Hot Honey snacks have caused a stir, and some fans have bees in their bonnets.

"Not a chance mate," added another.

Jessica Woolfrey, Marketing Manager for Jaffa Cakes, says: 'At Jaffa Cakes, we're known for doing things a little differently.
"As the only cake in the biscuit aisle, it makes sense that our newest flavour brings an unexpected twist.
"We're super excited to introduce Hot Honey Flavour to the Jaffa Cakes family - tapping into the viral 'swicy' trend with a perfectly balanced sweet-meets-heat flavour.'
Last year, the brand unveiled another unusual flavour based on retro childhood sweets.
The Cola bottle flavour was the first ever non-fruit flavour since the first Jaffa Cake was made in 1927.
It had a similar response from snackers, who either loved or hated them.
McVities has also rolled out raspberry and cherry flavours - which have both gone down well with customers.
