The Australian-born treat has touched down in the UK- and they're going down a treat.
Biscoff KitKat Chunky bars have finally arrived in the UK, and they’re now stocked on supermarket shelves.
Available from just 60p or 3 for £1.20, these chocolate-Biscoff treats are bound to be flying off the shelves shortly, reports The Manc.
Following its popular arrival down under in Australia, shoppers on this side of the pond have long been anticipating the release of the chocolate bar that combines two absolute fan-favourite sweet treats, with rumours that it would soon be sold seen circulating on social media for many months now.
But it’s now been confirmed that Biscoff KitKat Chunky bars have arrived in Tesco stores nationwide.
The new Biscoff KitKat Chunky is made up of the classic KitKat Chunky wafer finger, but this time comes with a delicious layer Lotus Biscoff spread packed inside, all before the bar is covered in decadent milk chocolate.
Speaking on the release of the Biscoff KitKat Chunky, Joyce Tan – Head of Marketing at Nestlé – said: “You asked, we answered – Biscoff is one of the most requested and searched-for items on the website, so we knew we had a job to do.
“We wanted to excite fans with a flavour and texture combination that would leave them longing for their next break.”

Kathleen Buyst – Global Brand Director at Biscoff – added: “Lotus Biscoff has been a favourite in for over 10 years [so] we are excited to collaborate with KitKat to offer a unique and delicious flavour combination.”
Judging by a post spreading the word that Biscoff KitKat Chunkys are now available in the UK that was shared by the ever-popular food spotting account New Foods UK on both Facebook and Instagram earlier this week, people seem really eager to head on down to their nearest Tesco to see if they can get their hands on a bar.
The post has amassed tens of thousands of interactions and shares on both social platforms, as well as thousands of comments from those with a sweet tooth.
“I could easily eat 96939693 of these in one sitting,” one eager comment reads.
Biscoff KitKat Chunky bars are now available at Tesco stores across the UK for an RRP of £0.60, or three for £1.20 for shoppers with a Tesco Clubcard.

Get Baked’s viral ‘Bertha’ cake has a sister on the way – and she sounds just as cheeky
She's big, she's green and she's ready to ruin your figure.
A lot of you will have seen the viral ‘Bertha’ cake by Leeds born beloved sweet treat specialists Get Baked.
They recently opened another site in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where queues literally formed round the block of hungry punters wanting to get their hands on the infamous sugary treats.
And now it's going to happen all over again, as they've recently unveiled their newest flavour which is sure to go down a storm.
We’ll give you a hint: it’s a current food and drink trend that’s about as big as Bertha herself – it’s not matcha, it’s not hot honey (duh), and it’s not Guinness…

Yes—scratch that; HELL YES!Get Baked is set to welcome Bertha’s equally beautiful twin sister, and she’s officially a pistachio girlie.
Having started out life simply as ‘Bruce’, after taking inspiration from the iconic scene from Matilda, this thing has become a phenomenon in its own right, and who doesn’t like more flavours of a good thing?
Probably one of the biggest foodie crazes going at the minute, thanks to the popularity of pistachio cream, cookies, lattes and the similar social media sensation that is the ‘Dubai Pistachio Bar' people are rather fittingly going nuts for this particular flavour of almost absolutely anything.
With that in mind, the Leeds-born bakery and dessert shop – founded by Rich Myers over in Headingley back in 2011 – have shown no hesitation in hopping on the bandwagon and creating a new twist on their own viral menu item.
Teasing the full details in a post on their Instagram this week, they wrote: “What’s big, green, and is going to destroy your life in a couple of weeks’ time? Pistachio Bertha. Strictly limited to 5,000 slices. Coming oh so soon. GB.”
In case you were wondering just how mad those with a sweet tooth could possibly go for a slice of cake, just look at the recent queues when they finally launched in Manchester city centre:
Speaking on the grand opening here on our turf and his partner Amy’s hometown, Myers said simply: “Manchester, what a launch. Thanks for much for the warm welcome. Stay baked.”
The Swine That Dines announces the official opening date of its brand new restaurant
Clementine Hall
Much-loved Leeds Bistro The Swine Bistro, formerly known as The Swine That Dines, has moved to a bigger space in Headingley.
Although it’s gone through a few name changes over the years since launching as The Greedy Pig cafe in 2012, this independent spot has long been a firm favourite for Leeds locals for some time now.
Run by chef couple Jo and Stu Myers, they’ve been operating out of North Street where it’s all about cooking seasonal produce simply and with an added ‘little bit of sunshine’.
But now Swine Bistro has moved up over to Headingley, taking up a unit previously occupied by Jam hairdressers on Otley Road.

And the time has finally come for them to open their doors, as they announce their first service will take place on Friday 4 April with bookings open from today, Thursday 20 March.
The Myers will be welcoming head chef Kirsty Cheetham, who won Observer Food Monthly’s Best Sunday Lunch award in 2018 and 2022 when she ran The Queen o’t owd Thatch in South Milford, Leeds.
The expanded space in the restaurant has allowed the team to curate a bigger wine list which will include natural wines from Wayward Wines and Latitude Wines as well as local beers from Ilkley Brewery and Horsforth Brewery.

The team remains passionate about locally sourced ingredients and has partnered with a variety of Yorkshire suppliers including R&J Yorkshire for its fresh meat, Tarbetts fishmonger, cheese from George & Joseph cheesemongers and beans from micro roaster, Chipp Coffee Co.
Jo Myers, co-owner of the Swine Bistro said: “It’s taken a huge amount of time and effort to realise our dream to revamp what was previously a hairdresser into a fully functioning kitchen and restaurant. It’s been a wild ride but we’re excited, and slightly nervous, to finally open our doors.
“We love the vibe in Headingley and the time out has allowed us to have fun with our menu as well as take part in lots of essential taste testing of ingredients and drinks from our brilliant local suppliers. We can’t wait to welcome guests into our new restaurant!”
