Nestle has announced that a KitKat chocolate bar that has been absent from the UK for three years is back on supermarket shelves.

The KitKat Chunky Hazelnut bar will be back for a limited time period, which will surely be good news for fans of the chocolate.

It is ready to rival the KitKat Peanut Butter bar in a bid to take the crown for the UK's favourite KitKat chocolate.

According to Nestlé UK, the 'Battle of the Breaks' is about to commence, competing for the hearts of KitKat fans.

They added: "Now on sale, the delicious chocolate bar comprises a crispy wafer topped with a layer of indulgent hazelnut spread, all wrapped up in the smooth milk chocolate that KitKat fans know and love."

What did Nestle say about the KitKat Chunky Hazlenut bar?

KitKat Assistant Brand Manager, Torin Zieboll, said: "It's been three long years since KitKat Chunky Hazelnut was on sale in the UK, and we couldn't resist bringing it back for chocolate fans to indulge in a little nutty decadence and turn up the heat on KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter, who has reigned supreme for more than a decade."

"I'm keen to hear which flavour KitKat Chunky fans prefer this time around. While KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter holds a special place in my heart, I'll be taking a break from the classic for now and mixing it up with a KitKat Chunky Hazelnut.

"I'd encourage anyone who didn't get the chance to try it last time to give it a whirl."

Nestle's press release added: "Since launching in 1999, KitKat Chunky has introduced many exciting, limited-edition bars to delight fans including Salted Caramel Popcorn, Cookie Dough, Coconut, Chocolate Fudge and New York Cheesecake.

"Like all Nestlé confectionery products in the UK and Ireland, the KitKat Chunky range has been made with 100% certified sustainable cocoa since 2015."

KitKat Chunky Hazelnut has an RRP of 70p and is available in supermarkets now.
