FMCGNews

As KitKat, Quality Street, Haribo, Mars and Fruit-tella have dropped brand new products in the past week, we round up what they are, how much they cost and which UK supermarkets will be stocking the sweet treats.

KitKat

Nestlé chocolate brand KitKat has re-launched its Chunky Hazelnut for a limited time period.

The bar comprises a crispy wafer, topped with hazelnut spread and milk chocolate.

The product has a recommended retail price (RRP) of 70p and is currently available in supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide.

KitKat assistant brand manager, Torin Zieboll, said: “It’s been three long years since KitKat Chunky Hazelnut was on sale in the UK, and we couldn’t resist bringing it back for chocolate fans to indulge in a little nutty decadence and turn up the heat on KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter, who has reigned supreme for more than a decade.”

    These sweets sound great , especially Fruitella, I don’t like chocolate but am worried about these sweets containing sweetener of any kind as they all make me very ill.
