Nestle launches limited edition Yorkie chocolate bar after discontinuing other fan favourite
A BRAND-NEW Yorkie bar is landing in supermarkets this week – and chocolate fans are in for a treat.
The news comes after Yorkie recently discontinued the fan favourite biscuit bars, not to be confused with its chocolate bars.
Nestlé has unveiled its latest creation, the limited-edition Yorkie Biscuit & Brownie, offering a tasty twist on the classic bar.
Inside, you’ll find chunks of smooth brownie-flavour milk chocolate packed with crunchy biscuit pieces.
Yorkie Brand Manager Michael Kehoe said: “The new bar brings together brownie-flavour chocolate and crunchy biscuit pieces to make a delicious treat that we’re excited to share with Yorkie fans everywhere.”
“We’re looking forward to hearing what people make of it!.”
The Yorkie Biscuit & Brownie joins the classic Yorkie Original Milk Chocolate and Yorkie Raisin & Biscuit flavours.
But as a limited-edition release, it won’t be around forever.
So, if you want to try the newest addition to the Yorkie lineup, you’d better grab one while you can.

Elsewhere, Tesco revealed it is giving away free Kitkat chocolate bars this weekend.
The KitKat sharing bars consisting of three different flavours: Salted Caramel, Hazelnut, and Double Chocolate.

The free samples of the Hazelnut sharer bar will be running until April 13 but are subject to availability.
MORE RARE CHOCOLATES
B&M shoppers were shocked to see Perky Nanas, usually only sold in New Zealand, now being sold at the discount store for just £1.
The soft banana-flavoured 45g chew bar comes covered with Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.
Sweet-toothed customers were quick to post the find on Facebook after realising it was a rehash of the full bar sold in the mid-2000s.
Remember to compare prices
It is also important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for too.
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.
