After an absence of eight years, Yorkie Honeycomb is returning to stores on May 8.
The 42g Yorkie Honeycomb bar has an RRP of 75p. Featuring solid chunks of smooth honeycomb flavour milk chocolate and crunchy pieces of honeycomb, the limited edition bar has listings with Nisa, Spar and Co-op, as well as major wholesalers and multiples.
Michael Kehoe, brand executive for Nestlé Confectionery said: “Yorkie fans are a passionate bunch, especially when it comes to honeycomb! We’ve had more requests for this bar than for any other flavour, so we’re chuffed to be bringing it back for 2023. It’s the creamy Yorkie milk chocolate you know and love, enlivened with honeycomb flavour and real pieces of crunchy honeycomb.”
Michael Kehoe added: “As a limited edition, it won’t be around for long, so get your hands on a bar while you can!”
Yorkie was launched in 1976 by Rowntree Mackintosh to help break into the solid chocolate bar sector. The company considered several more unlikely names, including ‘Jones’ and ‘O’Hara’ before deciding to name the bar after the city in which it is made.
Almost half a century later, Yorkie continues to be manufactured at Nestlé UK’s York factory, where 66 million bars are made each year. The factory is also home to KitKat, Aero, Polo and Milkybar. Yorkie Honeycomb has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and is made with cocoa sustainably sourced under the Nestlé Cocoa Plan.
