LINDT has launched a brand new dessert-inspired chocolate bar, and shoppers can't get enough of it.
The Swiss chocolatier's Creation offering is an infusion of luxurious milk chocolate and a classic French pudding.

The Lindt Creme Brûlée chocolate bar is filled with a creamy custard with chunks of caramelised sugar pieces.
One savvy shopper shared a snap of the find in Lidl and sparked excitement with others on Snack Reviews Facebook.
He wrote: "Lindt Creation Creme Brulee bar with smooth Swiss milk chocolate, creamy Creme Brulee-flavoured filling, and crunchy caramel pieces.
"It's like a dessert and a chocolate bar in one, spotted at Lindt store."
One wrote "Look at that bad boy."
"How much please, these look amazing," said another.
Others tagged friends in the post to spread the love.
Crème brûlée is a French favourite, known for its rich custard base topped with a thin, crisp layer of caramelised sugar.
The custard is typically flavored with vanilla and baked slowly in a water bath to achieve its smooth texture.
The delicious chocolate bar was found in the new Lindt store in London.
The Piccadilly store opened in March this year to celebrate the brand's 180th anniversary.
The 2,800 square foot site, opposite Piccadilly Circus tube station and features a ceiling decorated with copper mesh cocoa pods.
Stefan Bruderer, master chocolatier at Lindt & Sprüngli, described the new store as a "feast and vision for the senses".
Customers can also pick up a host of London-themed gifts including bespoke tins and themed chocolate sleeves.
A Dubai-style pack of Lindt chocolate pralines is also selling exclusively at the store, with a 90g pack costing £14.
There is also a Lindt pick 'n' mix station where visitors can choose from every possible flavour of Lindor ball - including rare ones like Matcha, Raspberry and Cream and Blood Orange.
Shoppers went mad for an "incredible" new flavour Lindor ball based on a classic British biscuit.
They posted an image of the new Lindor limited edition shortbread and captioned it: "Lindor Milk chocolate with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling!
"These are incredible, now available at Lindt store."
Over 6000 people have liked the post and almost 6000 have commented, with one saying they were "on a mission" to find them.
Another wrote: "Need to head to Lindt shop at Livingston to try these."
"Love this flavour," said another.
"What are they doing to us, these need trying!!" exclaimed someone else.
"These would be so good!!!" wrote another fan.
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.
