Babb says: “One of the things that we found really important when we were doing the creative was that we got the right tone and the playful tonality coming through. These Jaffa creations are described as a magic Jaffa combo with a twist. A soft dougnuty shaped sponge, filled with tangy orange filling, and topped with the classic Jaffa chocolate!"
