McVitie's launches new 79p chocolate bar inspired by 80s lunchbox classic
'If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our Club.'
Got that jingle stuck in your head now? Us too.
If you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, Club Orange was no doubt a staple part of your lunchbox. But now, the iconic McVitie's biscuit is getting a spin-off.
The confectionary giant is launching a brand new chocolate bar inspired by the nostalgic snack: introducing, the Club Layers Orange.
Club Layers Orange is a thick milk chocolate-coated wafer bar with a zingy orange-flavoured cream filling and multiple layers of wafer — a fresh new take on the biscuit we all grew up with.
McVitie's says the new product is designed for on-the-go snacking, or as the perfect afternoon sweet treat, and promises to deliver 'a quick, tasty pick-me-up'.
You'll find it exclusively in Spar stores from June 30, for just 79p.
A wider rollout across convenience shops and supermarkets is planned from 21 July. It will also hit Sainsbury's shelves on August 11and Asda Express on September 1.
And it's fair to say that shoppers are excited. 'SHUT UP MY ABSOLUTE FAV,' wrote an excitable, all-caps, Abi MacDonald on Facebook. While Lauren Clara Blowers said: 'I will take the lot.' And Alexandra Rimmer said: 'These look awesome I Loved the biscuit.'
And don't worry, if you're a die-hard fan of the original, the classic C lub range isn't going anywhere.
You can still get your hands on Club Orange, Club Mint, Club Gold and other staple flavours at supermarkets.
'McVitie's Club Layers Orange marks an exciting step for Club as it enters the confectionery aisle for the first time,' Catherine Morgenroth, marketing manager for McVitie's Club said.
'With Club having long been a favourite snack in many households, our new wafer bar offers a fresh way to enjoy the beloved classic and is perfect for those busy moments when you need a quick, tasty pick-me-up.' More Trending
It's not the only new chocolate treat to hit shelves recently.
Just last month, Nutella unveiled a brand-new plant-based version of its iconic spread – and it contains a rather surprising ingredient: chickpeas.
The vegan-certified spread hit Sainsbury's stores nationwide on May 25, but it won't be hitting any other supermarkets for a while, as a full rollout isn't planned until 2026.

According to the manufacturers, the new product boasts the same 'flavour and creaminess fans know and love' but has been 'specially crafted to offer a delicious new choice, blending Nutella's signature roasted hazelnuts and cocoa with plant-based ingredients like chickpeas and rice syrup'.

McVitie's give classic chocolate bar 'exciting' new rebrand for summer
It is no secret how much Brits love a biscuit. Whether a digestive dunked in your cup of tea, a penguin washed down with a glass of milk, or a hobnob eaten with your granny over a blether, we all have our favourites. A whopping 71 per cent of Brits eat biscuits two or three times a week or more, according to so it may come as pretty ground-breaking news to the sweet-toothed that an iconic British biscuit has had a revamp. Do you know McVitie's? Of course, we all do. Operating for more than 185 years, the McVitie's Digestive is arguably the UK's favourite biscuit - famed for its sweet, wheaty taste, and crumbly texture. Now, McVitie's is reimagining one of its most iconic brands with the launch of McVitie's Club Layers Orange - a chocolate-coated wafer bar with all the chunky satisfaction of the classic Club biscuit, in an exciting new format. For generations, the Club has been a lunchbox staple and a firm family favourite, loved for its bold flavours and unmistakably indulgent bite. Now, arriving down confectionery aisles across the UK for the first time, McVitie's is giving fans a fresh way to enjoy their favourite. The Club Layers Orange is a generously coated thick milk chocolate bar with a punchy orange flavoured cream filling and multiple layers of delicious crisp wafer. Crafted for on-the-go snacking, this zesty new bar is perfect for lunch breaks, afternoon pick-me-ups or whenever a little indulgence is in order. "McVitie's Club Layers Orange marks an exciting step for Club as it enters the confectionery aisle for the first time," Catherine Morgenroth, Marketing Manager for McVitie's Club, enthused. "With Club having long been a favourite snack in many households, our new wafer bar offers a fresh way to enjoy the beloved classic and is perfect for those busy moments when you need a quick, tasty pick-me-up." Club Layers Orange will be exclusively available at Spar from June 30. They will then be rolled out market-wide in multiple supermarkets and convenience stores from July 21. Sainsbury's will stock the goodies from August 11, while Asda Express will have adorn them on their shelves from September 1. The RRP of the Club Layers Orange is 79p. Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer has unveiled the limited-edition Strawberry & Creme Sandwich, billed as a "game-changing, oh-so-scrummy treat" made with the retailer's "iconic" British Red Diamond Strawberries. With a thick layer of whipped cream cheese spread between two pieces of fluffy sweetened bread, the creation, available at local M&S Foodhalls now, has been inspired by the Japanese sweet sandos, or fruit sandwiches. However, the Strawberry & Creme Sandwich has left Brits divided. While some are lapping up the fruity drop, others have labelled it "nonsense" and a complete over-indulgence. Shoppers can find the creation alongside the supermarket's regular sandwiches.

Earlier in the day, Laura informed her followers she was at the trading event after her win at the TRIC Awards the night before. Walking around the event in a bright yellow cardigan, she said: 'It is day two of the InstallerSHOW. 'So, last night after winning the TRIC award for best daytime TV show, probably going to be going on about this for a little while, as you can imagine, I jumped on the train and came up to Birmingham back to the NEC (National Exhibition Centre).' She continued: 'I am here for the next two days now on the Workie stand which is CD50 challenging people on the working wire and sharing lots of information about the launch of this brand new app.' InstallerSHOW is a trade show focused on installation technology, particularly in the heat, water, air, and energy sectors. It's a key event for people in the industry to discover new products, connect with manufacturers, and learn about trends. The 2025 is held at the NEC in Birmingham from June 24 to 26, with over 800 exhibitors. It comes after Laura led the glamour at the annual TRIC Awards on Tuesday. Ensuring she caught the eye, Laura opted in a canary yellow gown with a distinctive cinched detail. The TV presenter completed the distinctive look with cream heels and a matching leather handbag. This year's ceremony was hosted by Dan Walker, who also serves as President of the Television and Radio Industries Club. One million public votes were counted before nominations for the Television and Radio Industries Club Award were released in May. In the Daytime category, A Place In The Sun secured the win as it triumphed over Escape To The Country, Richard Osman's House Of Games and This Morning. Best Drama went to Call The Midwife as it won over All Creatures Great And Small, Baby Reindeer and Bridgerton. 24 Hours In Police Custody beat Freddie Flintoff's Field Of Dreams On Tour, The Martin Lewis Money Show Live and The Repair Shop in the Factual category. It was a day to celebrate for Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks after their podcast Staying Relevant triumphed against Begin Again with Davina McCall, Sh**ged. Married. Annoyed, and That Peter Crouch Podcast. While in the Food category fan favourite The Great British Bake Off came out on top in a strong category with Great British Menu, James Martin Saturday Morning and MasterChef. As for the Game Show award, there's Ant & Dec's Limitless Win, Michael McIntyre's The Wheel, The 1% Club and The Chase were nominated and it was Lee Mack's The 1% Club which grabbed the gong. Six Nations Rugby won best Live Sport and GB News Breakfast took home the prize in the news category. Charlie Peters took home best News presenter as he went head to head with Dan Walker, Fiona Bruce and Susanna Reid. As for the Radio Presenter award Jordan North was named number one against Ally McCoist, Simon Mayo and Vernon Kay. Clarkson's Farm, which has just seen season four released, grabbed the gong in the Entertainment category over Gavin And Stacey, I'm A Celebrity.... Get Me Out Of Here! and The Traitors. While Strictly Come Dancing and Loose Women were dealt a brutal blow, with both shows among a series of high profile snubs to not even be nominated. The Radio Show category featured Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark & Sian Welby, Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, Rylan on Sunday and White & Jordan. But it was Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden that won the award. The Soap Actor award went to EastEnders' Steve McFadden who plays Phil Mitchell while EastEnders also received the honour of Soap Of The Year. He beat other nominees Barney Walsh who stars as Cam Mickelthwaite in Casualty, Beth Cordingly who plays Ruby Fox-Milligan in Emmerdale and Jack P Shepherd who portrays David Platt in Coronation Street.
