McVitie's has released a limited-edition version of its classic Jaffa. Cake and we are completely obsessed.
Following "years of requests" from customers, the company has finally caved in and given its beloved orange-flavoured sweet a makeover.
Adding a white chocolate casing for a new twist, it's created these limited-edition Jaffa Cakes -but you won't be able to find them in the shops.
There are only 40 packs up for grabs in total, and each pack contains just two white chocolate Jaffa Cakes, reports The Manc.
And the only way you can get your hands on them is to enter a competition online.
After teasing the new sweet treat all week, McVitie’s took to the official Jaffa Cakes Instagram page yesterday to confirm that “the moment you’ve all been waiting for” is here, and explained that to be in with a chance of winning one of the exclusive packs, you’ll just need to like the announcement post, tag “a fellow Jaffanatic”, and follow the McVitie’s page.
Speaking on the launch of the new sweet treat, Alice Jamieson – Brand Manager at McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes – said: “The Jaffanatics spoke, and we listened.
“We couldn’t be more excited to launch this competition and offer forty lucky Jaffanatics the chance to see their Jaffa dreams come true and be the first to try our limited-edition White Chocolate Jaffa Cakes.”
The competition announcement post has already racked up tens of thousands of likes and comment entries, so it seems as though it’s already massively popular and people are eager to be in with a chance of winning.
“Omg my prayers have been answered,” was just one of the positive reactions to the announcement from fans on social media.
Lucky winners will be drawn and announced on Tuesday 3 May, so stay tuned.

The show is based on a popular French TV series and is written by Amanda Coe, an acclaimed English screenwriter and novelist.
Amanda Coe spoke about the announcement: "With such a rich and spiky central relationship at its core, Shy & Lolais a dream of a show to write, full of fun, action and emotion. I can't wait to see our hugely exciting cast and director bring it to life."
Rachelle Constant, executive Producer for Clerkenwell Films, said: "Amanda has written a brilliantly bold series centred on a dynamic female duo, which blends dark comedy with propulsive storytelling.We’re thrilled to have Hayley and Bel as our leads, alongside an exceptional cast and crew."
