Fox’s Party Rings Under the Sea minis have been unveiled by Fox's Burton's Companies (FBC) as the brand's latest innovation based on its classic iced shortcake biscuits that gives them a decidedly fishy update. The product consists of the signature Party Rings recipe with its shortcake biscuit flavor topped with chromatic icing, which are formed into shapes that call to mind undersea creatures. The snack comes in six-packs of mini bags for £1.50 and is arriving as an Asda exclusive in the UK starting April 24, 2025 for 12 weeks before a wider release.
Head of Category Insight at FBC Robin Norton spoke on the Fox’s Party Rings Under the Sea minis saying, "Under the Sea Minis is an exciting milestone for the Party Rings brand. It may be the first time we’re changing the format of the biscuits, but they come with the famous flavour and fun of traditional Party Rings."
