New Nestlé chocolate bar is reminding fans of 'amazing' discontinued 00s classic
And when that particular snack disappears, we'll go to great lengths to get it back.
There are countless petitions begging Cadbury and Nestlé to relaunch the likes of Dream or Galaxy Truffle, and when a discontinued classic is spotted in B&M, chocolate lovers go on the hunt.
But now, it's good news for lovers of the gone-but-not-forgotten Cadbury Marble, which vanished from our shelves back in 2012. Before you get too excited, the bar isn't back — but there is a potential alternative on offer.
Nestlé is launching the KitKat Chunky Funky, a limited-edition option that features a crispy cocoa wafer wrapped in a rather jazzy milk and white chocolate swirled coating.
It's got fans comparing the chocolate coating to the beloved Marble, which also featured a mix of white and milk chocolate, and has been hailed as an 'amazing' bar, which 'needs to make a comeback'.
'Kinda looks like a marble blend,' wrote popular food reviewer, @johns_snackreviews on Instagram. 'Very white and milk chocolate combo.'
Commenter Kimberley Gillis agreed, saying: 'I love marble chocolate.'
Others are simply excited by the prospect of a new bar. 'That looks sensational,' wrote Ross Strong on Facebook, while Pat Arnold said it looks 'absoloutely gorgeous.'
Although you can't please everyone. One reviewer simply wrote: 'Marble would have been better.' Each to their own.
Nestlé are actually launching three brand new bars in total. There's also the KitKat Chunky Duo Salted Caramel which the confectionary brand says 'takes indulgent treats to the next level'.
The new duo bar features the classic crispy wafer topped with a rich layer of salted caramel filling, wrapped up in chocolate coating.
The third bar is a new Blue Riband treat: Blue Riband Vanilla.
It has a vanilla filling with light wafer coating, and coming in at 83 calories a bar, it's a lighter option for those who want a quick snack.
KitKat's brand manager Rida Ahmed hopes shoppers are excited by the new offerings: 'KitKat Chunky has a fresh look while keeping the delicious crispy wafer and KitKat chocolate that our fans adore. It's such a fun product and we can't wait to see how shoppers react,' she said.
All three bars will start to roll out in shops across the UK this week — though pricing is yet to be confirmed. Metro has contacted Nestlé for comment.
In the meantime, chocolate lovers can look out for a new treat from McVitie's. The confectionery giant is launching a brand new chocolate bar inspired by Club Orange. More Trending
If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, the chocolate bar was no doubt a staple of your lunchbox. And now the iconic McVitie's biscuit is getting a spin-off.
Club Layers Orange – a thick-milk chocolate-coated wafer bar with a zingy orange-flavoured cream filling – is 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'.

Fife care home head chef wins mystery box challenge at HC-One's inaugural Chef of the Year Competition
With over 40 years of experience in the catering industry, Roy's culinary journey began at the Post House Hotel in Edinburgh, where he trained through the prestigious Trust House Forte programme. Since then, he has honed his craft across a variety of hotels and restaurants, driven by a deep passion for quality food and outstanding service. Roy joined Balfarg Care Home in January 2024 and quickly became an integral part of the care community. Launched in February 2025, the HC-One Chef of the Year Competition was created to celebrate the talent, creativity, and dedication of HC-One chefs across the UK. The event highlights the essential role of care home chefs in preparing nutritious, personalised meals that enhance residents' wellbeing and everyday experiences. Roy advanced through a rigorous three-stage competition, beginning with the submission of his signature dish, including an innovative and nutritionally balanced Level 5 minced and moist option praised for its excellence. He progressed to the semi-finals in Leeds on 18th June, where his technical skill and creative presentation secured his place among six national finalists. In the grand final's mystery box challenge, the six finalists went head-to-head in a mystery box challenge where the finalists were presented with a box full of mystery ingredient items including caramel, coconut milk, white chocolate and KitKat sauce to create the ultimate dessert for residents. The more ingredients the contestants used as part of the dish, the more points they gained as well as being judged on their explanation for choosing why they created the dessert and how it would benefit residents living in their care homes. Roy wowed judges by crafting a cut fresh raspberry and banana mousse with a madeira cake base, delicate, easily digestible, and made with residents' needs in mind. The dessert featured chocolate coco, Nestlé milk powder, KitKat sauce, and white chocolate, strategically selected both for taste and health benefits. The judging panel included: Chris Bonner, Executive Chef & Nutrition & Hydration Lead, HC-One Jamie Clews, Development Chef, Metcalfe Catering Ben Ross, Key Account Manager, Unox Nick Vadis, Culinary Director, Compass UK & Ireland Special Guest Judge: James Tugendhat, CEO, HC-One Roy was presented his prize, a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mini Me Coffee Machine Starter Kit by Chris Bonner, Executive Chef and Nutrition & Hydration Lead at HC-One. Roy credited his success to the support of Suzanne Stirling, Group Development Chef for Scotland, whose mentorship has helped him thrive in care catering. Roy Simpson, Head Chef at HC-One Scotland's Balfarg Care Home, said: 'I'm absolutely honoured to have won the Mystery Box Challenge at HC-One's first ever Chef of the Year competition. It was a fantastic experience to showcase the kind of food we create every day in our care homes, meals that are not just nutritious but made with love and respect for the people we serve. Being able to bring a smile to our residents through food is what drives me, and I'm proud to be part of a team that values kindness, quality, and care.' Mark Meacham, Head of Catering and Housekeeping Support Services at HC-One, praised Roy's achievement: 'Well done to Roy on winning the Mystery Box Challenge in our very first Chef of the Year competition. The competition was an important opportunity to formally recognise the expertise, dedication and professionalism demonstrated by our chefs across the organisation. Every day they deliver far more than food, they contribute to the dignity, wellbeing and quality of life of our residents.' The event was made possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors including EF-group, Nestlé, Unox, Contiquip, and Lockhart Catering. 1 .

Local outrage as topless Brit tourist caught riding cow in Tenerife
Shoppers were left stunned when the holidaymaker decided to mount the life-sized model bovine outside a popular Ale-Hop store in Playa Fañabé, Costa Adeje, causing consternation among locals Anglo-Iberian relations have taken another dent after a British man rode a well-known cow in Tenerife. Shoppers were left stunned when the holidaymaker decided to mount the life-sized model bovine outside a popular Ale-Hop store in Playa Fañabé, Costa Adeje. With the help of one of his two friends, the man was spotted climbing onto the plastic cow's back before bellowing, 'Yeehaw!' Within seconds, alarmed employees of a nearby shop ran over to remove the man from the cow. They then had to ensure that the tourists didn't steal the cow. It comes after 'the King of Benidorm' warned that Brits make the same mistake when the visit the city. The shop employees calmed the man, who had declared himself a "real cowboy", according to Canarian Weekly. He gave up on his attempts to remove the cow after giving it one big tug on its horns. The incident has caused ire among locals, who have been left unimpressed by the daytime antics. "It's called disrespect, but well, that's already normalized, like so many things," one wrote beneath a post online including the video. Another wrote: "That's the kind of tourism they send to the Canary Islands. It's like this everywhere, and then the British press is surprised by the protests that take place." The incident is not the first cow-related shock to cause alarm on the Canary island. Back in 2019, tourists visiting Tenerife were left baffled by the sight of dead cows floating in the sea and being washed up onto the beaches. The animals were spotted in areas popular for Brits over a seven-day period. One cow was washed up on the tourist beach of Playa de La Jaquita near the coastal resort of El Médano. Council workers were called to dispose of the carcass. The cow corpses came from freighters loaded with live cattle, which travelled from South America. Such boats are forbidden from mooring at some ports in Europe, including Las Palmas in Gran Canaria. If and when cows die during the crossing, they are tossed overboard. When it comes to alcohol-related incidents that have caused strife between Spaniards and Brits, there are plenty. Late-night brawls that have spilled onto the streets of Playa de las Américas have been a regular occurrence, as have visitors leaping into hotel pools fully clothed. A group of holidaymakers were fined for climbing onto a parked police car for photos back in 2023, around the same time that a stag party blocked traffic by staging an impromptu conga line over a busy roundabout in Costa Adeje.
