Nestle unwraps KitKat Chunky Caramel

Hitting shelves this month is Nestle’s KitKat Chunky Caramel. The latest edition to the Chunky line-up features a thick layer of runny caramel atop the brand’s classic wafer, all covered by milk chocolate.

Callum Smith, assistant brand manager for KitKat said: “A new KitKat Chunky is always one of the year’s most anticipated confectionery launches, and we think fans will be delighted with our latest innovation.

“Caramel is officially the nation’s number one flavour [Kantar Worldpanel], and we’ve taken it to the next level by combining a delicious layer of runny caramel with our crisp KitKat wafer to create a taste sensation. When we trialled the newest Chunky flavour at Nestlé House we got a rapturous response, so we can’t wait to hear what everybody thinks!”

The limited edition KitKat Chunky Caramel 43.5g bar (RRP 70p) will be available from supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide from tomorrow (28 July).

Since launching in 1999, KitKat Chunky has released a raft of limited editions, including: Salted Caramel Popcorn, Peanut Butter, Cookie Dough, Coconut, Chocolate Fudge and New York Cheesecake.

Like the rest of the KitKat range, Chunky is made with 100% certified sustainable cocoa. More widely, the KitKat brand is striving to become carbon neutral by 2025; and Nestlé Confectionery UK & Ireland is aiming to halve the carbon footprint of its local fresh milk supply by 2026. This involves helping farmers to adopt sustainable farming practices that will help protect and restore natural resources such as soil, water and biodiversity around their farms over the years to come.
