There isn't anything much more exciting than a new chocolate bar flavour.

And luckily for Nestlé fans, the brand has announced just that for KitKat lovers.

The chocolate giant has revealed the KitKat Chunky Crunchy Double Chocolate bar is joining its list of offerings. And choccie fans are certainly excited to get their hands on it.

According to the brand, the new bar promises a "chocolate experience that aims to impress", with it boasting a chocolate crispy wafer coated in smooth milk chocolate.

The bar is launching exclusively at Sainsbury's and SPAR on June 27 before being available at stores nationwide on July 8. However, popular social media brand New Foods UK got a sneak preview of the bar, as it posted photos of it on its Facebook page.

And the snaps left people excited as they couldn't wait to comment on the new bar.

Many seemed excited as one person exclaimed: "Ooh not seen these I have found the biscoff ones recently and they were lush." Another added: "I need one," while someone else added: "Shut up and take my money."

Despite this, others didn't seem as keen as one social media user called them "pointless" while another admitted: "I think maybe too much chocolate in this one."

Talking about the new bar, Torin Zieboll, Assistant Brand Manager for KitKat said: "We're super excited about this new limited edition KitKat Chunky bar because 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."

Since launching 1999, KitKat Chunky has created a range of mouthwatering limited edition flavours, including Caramel, Peanut Butter, Cookie Dough, Biscoff, Chocolate Fudge, and New York Cheesecake.

The news comes after it was recently revealed that KitKat Cookie Dough is now available in B&M stores across the UK too.
