Chocolate lovers celebrate as new KitKat flavour on shelves of Sainsbury’s
CHOCOLATE lovers are celebrating as there’s a delicious new KitKat flavour that’s just hit the shelves.
Chocoholics have been racing to get their hands on the new Chunky bar recently spotted at Sainsbury’s.
Nestlé’s new KitKat Chunky Funky is a crispy cocoa wafer smothered in a marbled mix of creamy milk and white chocolate.
An eagle-eyed shopper boasted of their find on the Facebook group New Foods UK
They posted a picture of the treats with the caption: “New KitKat Chunky Funky bars spotted at Sainsbury’s!”
Users flocked to the comments to express their excitement with one saying: “I need to try!”
“Oooh this is a must have,” added another.
It follows Nestlé’s announcement last month that they were releasing three new chocolate bars.
The three new bars – KitKat Chunky Funky, KitKat Chunky Salted Caramel and KitKat Blue Riband Vanilla – are now available in stores.
The KitKat Chunky Duo Salted Caramel is just like a normal KitKat Chunky but with salted caramel in its milk chocolate.
While the Chunky Funky features a crispy cocoa wafer swirled with milk chocolate and a white coating.
KitKat’s assistant brand boss, Rida Ahmed, thinks they’ll be a hit with fans.
She said: “KitKat Chunky has a fresh look while keeping the delicious crispy wafer and chocolate that our fans adore.
“It’s such a fun product, and we can’t wait to see how shoppers react!”
The triple launch comes after the shock announcement that Nestle had axed their Clusters, a breakfast staple loved by many.
The company have also left shoppers devastated after recently confirming it has axed multi-packs of its Dark Chocolate Mint two finger bars.
The beloved bars were previously on sale at Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Tesco but are now showing as out of stock on the retailer’s websites.
But don’t worry, there are plenty of new treats hitting the shelves.
New treats hitting the shelves
Shoppers are filling their basket with Cadbury’s Twirl White Dipped as it scans for just 89p at B&M.
They’re also going wild for Cadbury’s new Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake bar at the bargain retailer, with stock already flying off the shelves.
The drops follows a string of Cadbury summer launches, from Iced Latte Dairy Milk with cool-changing packaging, to the nostalgic return of Dairy Milk Balls, likened to ‘90s Cadbury Tasters.
While Digestives has launched a new pink version which tastes of raspberry and cream.
And there’s also a new mango and passion fruit Jammie Dodger.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
