Chocolate lovers can’t wait to get their hands on the latest KitKat Chunky release, which sees the iconic bar collaborate with another hugely popular Nestle treat
Brits have been enjoying the taste of KitKats ever since the chocolate-covered wafer bars were introduced by confectioners, Rowntree’s way back in the late 1930s. Now a product of Nestle, who acquired Rowntree’s in 1988, the bars come in a whole host of design and flavours.
In addition to the traditional four-fingered bars we all love, KitKat Chunky hit the market in 1999 and has seen a number of variations – often limited edition flavours – go on sale over the years. The latest of those is now available in the UK, having been detailed on Facebook by dedicated foodies, NewFoodsUK.
Sharing a snap of the treat, they wrote: “These Rolo KitKats are amazing!” Rolo also followed the same path of Rowntree’s to Nestle, coming in tube-shaped packs made of round, caramel-filled chocolate.

Excited to get their hands on the new offering, which originated in Canada, one Facebook user penned in response: “Need to find them!” Another person commented: “I swear I’m flying to the UK solely for your snacks.”
A third confessed: “Oh don’t! I’m far too obsessed with chunky KitKats for my own good! It’s like the universe doesn’t want me to be thin.” Whilst a fourth said: “Another amazing KitKat Chunky.”
World Snacks UK, who are selling the 48g bars at a price of £2.75 each, state: “This is just the ‘break’ you deserve! The Kit Kat Chunky Rolo is filled with rich and delectable chocolate, along with silky golden caramel!”“The mouth-watering production description continues: “It’s a match made in heaven! This Kit Kat Chunky offers a hefty size; you’ll have to open extra wide for a bite! Discover an indulgent layer of milk chocolate, crispy wafers and a filling of the famous Rolo caramel!
“Featuring the perfect balance of deeply delicious flavours, you won’t want to miss this Kit Kat bar! Ideal for lovers of caramel, this chocolate bar just might make the cut into your regular chocolate rotation!”
The website has a variety of other unusual KitKats on sale, meanwhile, including KitKat pink lemonade flavour, KitKat Neapolitan, KitKat Lemon Crisp and KitKat Birthday Cake.
Back in January, meanwhile, three more KitKats made their debut on UK supermarket shelves. The XL bars, at £1.50 for a 99g bar are as follows:
- KitKat Double Chocolate: A cocoa-flavoured filling covered with thick milk and dark chocolate marble swirls.
- KitKat Salted Caramel: A salted caramel-flavoured filling in a thick milk chocolate coating with marbled caramel swirls.
- KitKat Hazelnut: A hazelnut-flavoured filling, coated with a rich mix of milk and dark chocolate marble swirls.
With the new XL bar, the pieces can now be easily broken off, so there’s no excuse not to share and enjoy equal bites with friends and loved ones.
