Iced VoVos, in ice-cream form? Mint Slice, as an ice-cream sandwich? Start counting your tuckshop money, because the ultimate Australian ice-cold sugar high is hitting supermarket freezers this week.

In a new collaboration between old-school brands, Peters ice-cream and Arnott's biscuits have teamed up to reinvent four traditional flavours.

The Wagon Wheel reinvents the wheel as layers of ice-cream, marshmallow, jam and chocolate wedged between layers of biscuit; Mint Slice becomes a minty puck of choc-covered ice-cream; Iced VoVos are actually iced, as a tub of pink coconut and raspberry confection; and Caramel Crowns come as a pot of biscuit-studded caramel ice-cream.

(Sorry Tim Tam fans – you'll have to stick to the real deal – in frozen form or gelato-inspired flavours.)

The range rolls out in supermarkets across the country from this week.

Each four-pack of ice-cream sandwiches costs $7.99; each 470ml tub costs $6.99.

The biggest challenge, said Arnott's marketing manager Claire Kesby-Smith, was to create flavours that remained true to the original product.
