Bob the Builder fixes up a new dessert treat

There's a first time for everything, but there's not just one, but three reasons why the new Bob the Builder rice pudding, which is ready to be launched this September, by Arla Foods, is unique.

Not only is the pudding the first ever rice dessert specifically for children, it is also the first rice pudding to licensed and the first to be packaged in a split pot, which offers a tasty combination of rice and real fruit puree.

Isla McGuckin, consumer marketing manager for yogurts said: "This is an exciting new product development which has developed on the strength of the Bob the Builder yogurt and fromage frais range.

"Kids love Bob and the introduction of a rice pudding that also comes with real fruit puree for them to add themselves, will be especially appealing. Plus it has the added advantage of being the first of its kind in the marketplace," Isla added.
