The Mr Kipling Signature Collection has been expanded by the brand with new treats that are perfect for helping consumers to enjoy premium, restaurant-inspired desserts from the comfort of home. The products include the Hot Brownie Puddings in Belgian Chocolate and Salted Caramel flavor options, which each have a sponge-style cake paired with a smooth sauce. The products come in two-packs priced at £2.75 to give them a competitive price point for a premium yet accessible fakeaway experience.
Brand Director for Desserts at Premier Foods Rob Watson spoke on the Mr Kipling Signature Collection saying, "The Signature Collection range is already well known for delivering more indulgent premium treats, and with an indulgent Belgian chocolate taste and a decadent texture, the new puddings offer a superior taste experience that meets the growing demand for those treating moments. Through the new launches, we are aiming to expand the entire category by enticing more shoppers to the ambient aisle when they’re looking for their next sweet treat.”
