Tesco has expanded its own-label line-up of sweet treats with 39 new products including Jam Trifle Buns, Banoffee Tarts, and Chocolate Chip & Caramel Scones.

Brownies, brioche, scones, and pastries were among the lines to be introduced earlier this month, with many embracing the continuing trend of ‘twist on a classic’.

Chocolate, coffee, and caramel flavours feature heavily throughout the new range alongside fruity flavour combinations such as rhubarb & ginger, white chocolate & raspberry, and banana & salted caramel.

Tesco said the NPD covers all occasions from mid-week breakfasts to weekend brunch, lunchtime treats, and even a surprise for a friend.

Here is a closer look at some of the items in the range (see below for the full list).

These soft, sweet buns (£2.75 for a two-pack) are described as a tasty twist on the classic raspberry trifle. They’re swirled with a raspberry jam filling and topped with vanilla flavoured icing as swell as a sprinkle of sugar pearls for some added texture.
