Available from the beginning of May, the range comprises two variants with chocolate or strawberry flavour fillings.
The range can be eaten “straight from the pack, on-the-go, or heated in the oven”, the company said today (20 April). Both variants come in packs of seven and have an MRRP of GBP1.19 (US$1.73).
Mike Benton, marketing controller at The McVitie’s Cake Company, said: “People are finding that their lifestyles are becoming increasingly busy and it is more difficult to find the time to eat breakfast. This launch of mini croissants provides consumers with the perfect solution for a quick breakfast or snack on the go.”
The new range expands upon the McVitie’s existing morning goods offering of Waffles and will be packed in a block-bottomed bag.
