Lindt launches new flavour based on classic British biscuit – and it’s on supermarket shelves now

LUXURY chocolatier Lindt has launched a new flavour inspired by a beloved biscuit.

The new treat is now up for grabs at Tesco, and shoppers can’t get enough.

Lindor Shortbread Truffles have joined the selection of indulgent flavours – but they won’t be around forever.

Sold exclusively at Tesco, boxes of the limited-edition combination of smelt-in-the-mouth milk chocolate and crisp biscuit pieces are £7.50, or they’re currently listed as £6 with a Clubcard.

You can also treat yourself at one of Lindt’s retail stores and online.

Fans will need to be quick, though, as the iconic gooey balls will vanish from shelves by the end of the year.

The treats contain 620 calories per 100g.

Stefan Bruderer, Master Chocolatier at Lindt & Sprüngli, said: “We understand UK consumers have a unique love for biscuits and shortbread particularly has deep roots in British culture, so it felt like the perfect crumbly treat to blend with our beloved truffles.

“We love creating new and unique flavours with our iconic Swiss Chocolate!”

The Newfoodsuk Facebook page recently posted about the new flavour with shoppers quick to react.

It posted an image of the new Lindor limited edition shortbread and captioned it: “Lindor Milk chocolate with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling!

“These are incredible, now available at Lindt store.“

Over 6,000 people have liked the post and almost 6,000 have commented, with one saying they were “on a mission” to find them.

Another wrote: “Need to head to Lindt shop at Livingston to try these.”

“Love this flavour,” said another.

While another commented: “What kind of sorcery is this?”

“What are they doing to us, these need trying!!” exclaimed someone else.

“These would be so good!!!” wrote another fan.

Twist on a French classic

The Swiss chocolatier’s Creation is also offering is an infusion of luxurious milk chocolate and a classic French pudding.

The Lindt Creme Brûlée chocolate bar is filled with a creamy custard with chunks of caramelised sugar pieces.

One savvy shopper shared a snap of the find in Lidl and sparked excitement with others on Snack Reviews Facebook.

He wrote: “Lindt Creation Creme Brulee bar with smooth Swiss milk chocolate, creamy Creme Brulee-flavoured filling, and crunchy caramel pieces.

“It’s like a dessert and a chocolate bar in one, spotted at Lindt store.”

One wrote “Look at that bad boy.”

“How much please, these look amazing,” said another.

Others tagged friends in the post to spread the love.

Crème brûlée is a French favourite, known for its rich custard base topped with a thin, crisp layer of caramelised sugar.

The custard is typically flavored with vanilla and baked slowly in a water bath to achieve its smooth texture.

The delicious chocolate bar was found in the new Lindt store in London.

It’s the perfect combination of crunch and smooth[/caption]
