The KitKat Chunky Crunchy Double Chocolate candy bar has been announced by Nestlé Confectionery UK & Ireland as a new version of the brand's signature treat that prioritizes a textural, chocolatey snacking experience.
The candy bar is crafted with the classic crispy waters in a chocolate flavor that's enrobed in a milk chocolate coating on the exterior. The bar boasts crunchy pieces in every bite to give it a textural difference from the brand's usual offering. The bar is lambing its debut at Spar and Sainsbury's locations in the UK starting June 27 before a wider rollout taking place July 8, 2024.
Assistant Brand Manager Torin Zieboll spoke on the KitKat Chunky Crunchy Double Chocolate candy bar saying, "We're super excited about this new limited edition KitKat Chunky bar as it does such a good job of combining a delicious taste with an exciting texture. With double the chocolate and tasty crunch, we think the KitKat Chunky Crunchy Double Chocolate will become an instant favourite among chunky fans."
