New Nestlé chocolate bar is reminding fans of 'amazing' discontinued 00s classic
When us Brits find a chocolate bar we like, we get pretty passionate about it. And when that particular snack disappears, we'll go to great lengths to get it back. There are countless petitions begging Cadbury and Nestlé to relaunch the likes of Dream or Galaxy Truffle, and when a discontinued classic is spotted in B&M, chocolate lovers go on the hunt. But now, it's good news for lovers of the gone-but-not-forgotten Cadbury Marble, which vanished from our shelves back in 2012. Before you get too excited, the bar isn't back — but there is a potential alternative on offer. Nestlé is launching the KitKat Chunky Funky, a limited-edition option that features a crispy cocoa wafer wrapped in a rather jazzy milk and white chocolate swirled coating. It's got fans comparing the chocolate coating to the beloved Marble, which also featured a mix of white and milk chocolate, and has been hailed as an 'amazing' bar, which 'needs to make a comeback'. 'Kinda looks like a marble blend,' wrote popular food reviewer, @johns_snackreviews on Instagram. 'Very white and milk chocolate combo.' Commenter Kimberley Gillis agreed, saying: 'I love marble chocolate.' Others are simply excited by the prospect of a new bar. 'That looks sensational,' wrote Ross Strong on Facebook, while Pat Arnold said it looks 'absoloutely gorgeous.' Although you can't please everyone. One reviewer simply wrote: 'Marble would have been better.' Each to their own. Nestlé are actually launching three brand new bars in total. There's also the KitKat Chunky Duo Salted Caramel which the confectionary brand says 'takes indulgent treats to the next level'. The new duo bar features the classic crispy wafer topped with a rich layer of salted caramel filling, wrapped up in chocolate coating. The third bar is a new Blue Riband treat: Blue Riband Vanilla. It has a vanilla filling with light wafer coating, and coming in at 83 calories a bar, it's a lighter option for those who want a quick snack. KitKat's brand manager Rida Ahmed hopes shoppers are excited by the new offerings: 'KitKat Chunky has a fresh look while keeping the delicious crispy wafer and KitKat chocolate that our fans adore. It's such a fun product and we can't wait to see how shoppers react,' she said. All three bars will start to roll out in shops across the UK this week — though pricing is yet to be confirmed. Metro has contacted Nestlé for comment. In the meantime, chocolate lovers can look out for a new treat from McVitie's. The confectionery giant is launching a brand new chocolate bar inspired by Club Orange. More Trending If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, the chocolate bar was no doubt a staple of your lunchbox. And now the iconic McVitie's biscuit is getting a spin-off. Club Layers Orange – a thick-milk chocolate-coated wafer bar with a zingy orange-flavoured cream filling – is a fresh new take on the biscuit we all grew up with. McVitie's says the new product is designed for on-the-go snacking, or as the perfect afternoon sweet treat, and promises to deliver 'a quick, tasty pick-me-up'.

While the KitKat Chunky Duo Salted Caramel is just like a normal KitKat Chunky but with salted caramel in its milk chocolate. And there's a new Blue Riband vanilla flavour launching too. It has 83 calories, which is less than the normal milk chocolate version which has 92 calories. KitKat's assistant brand boss, Rida Ahmed, reckons 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!' We've asked Nestle for their recommended retail prices and the calories and we'll update this story asap. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon The triple launch couldn't have come at a better time, with Nestlé fans still reeling from the shock axe of Clusters, a breakfast staple loved by many. It comes hot on the heels of the disappearance of Cheerios Vanilla O's, also binned by the brand last summer. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. New treats hitting the shelves Meanwhile, over in B&M, shoppers are going wild for Cadbury's new Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake bar, with stock already flying off the shelves. The drop 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. We rounded up all the treats hitting shelves soon - but would you try them?
