Lindt fans go wild for new flavour inspired by traditional Scottish snack
Nothing beats indulging in a chocolatey delight when you're craving some sweetness – and Scots appear to be drooling over a rare Lindor variety hitting the shelves. Swiss confectionery giant Lindt has built its reputation on diverse flavours and vibrant packaging, and has recently launched a distinctive variety drawing inspiration from a much-loved Scottish treat.
The special edition delicacies arrive in rich purple wrapping with co-ordinating packaging and take their cue from the beloved shortbread. The chocolate selections have appeared in major retailers, leaving enthusiasts eager to snap them up.
Lindt fans are utterly captivated by this fresh launch, pledging to stock up their baskets straight away before supplies vanish. A recent post on New Foods UK sparked excitement among followers, prompting them to share their reactions in droves.
The announcement stated: "New Limited Edition Shortbread Lindor! Milk chocolate with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling! These are incredible, now available at Lindt stores."
This exclusive variety has a limited run, so anyone wanting to secure a box needs to move quickly.
The shortbread chocolate are on sale for £5.50 per 100g and are marketed as "milk chocolate truffles with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling".
Since the shortbread treats went on sale, chocolate fans have been singing their praises. One person responded to New Foods UK's post: "Love this flavour!" while another commenter said, with some hesitation: "Would have to try one. I love chocolate and I love shortbread, but not really keen on chocolate shortbread."
The joy on this person's face was palpable as they wrote: "I'm going to need to stock up on these."
Another remarked: "Oh my, will have to look out for these," while another person said: "These would be so good."
One satisfied customer shared: "They are so nice."
In a separate Facebook post by Snack News and Reviews, showcasing the new product, one individual enthused: "I was able to try this yesterday in my local Lindt outlet shop and OMG it was utterly delicious so buttery smooth but also had crunchy bits in it for the shortbread part."
"I got a box today," said another person in love with Lindt's shortbread treats.
In other chocolate-related news, one brave chocoholic splashed out an eye-watering £360 to taste the To'ak Master Series chocolate and see if it's worth the hefty price tag, reports the Mirror.
And as if Lindt's little treats were not enough, Costa's summer menu features a standout item that "knocks Dubai chocolate off top spot", according to reporter Danielle Kate Wroe who tried them out for the Mirror.

I'm a picky eater & eat barely any of the ‘awful' food at all-inclusive hotels – trolls slam me as ‘disrespectful'
Scroll down to find out what Simone had for her dinner FOOD FOR THOUGHT I'm a picky eater & eat barely any of the 'awful' food at all-inclusive hotels – trolls slam me as 'disrespectful' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has been slammed as "disrespectful" for turning her nose up at the "weird" dishes on offer at an all inclusive hotel. Simone Wilko, a self-confessed picky eater, recently went on holiday to Cyprus, and was not impressed by the food that was on offer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Simone was not impressed by the food in her all inclusive hotel Credit: Tiktok s33immm 2 People have slammed her for being disrespectful Credit: Tiktok s33immm Taking to TikTok, the influencer showed off the diverse array of food in the restaurant at her hotel, stating that there was "so much to choose from, but at the same time there wasn't." Showing viewers a plate of delicious looking stuffed courgettes with vegetables, she said: "I understand I'm in a different country, but what on earth are these foods? "They look absolutely awful." Showing the camera a dish of traditional black eye beans with Swiss chards, she then said: "I couldn't think of anything worse." Simone then spotted a pizza and got excited as she thought it was margherita, but after reading that the label said Quatro Formaggi (four cheese) she decided to give it a miss. The holidaymaker then decided to put some plain bread on her plate, along with a portion of chips. "If these had herbs on, I wouldn't have got them", she admitted. "I just don't like the taste of seasoning." She then placed some ribs on her plate, and a small bit of pork from a stir fry, making sure to avoid the veg as she "hates spring onions". However, she said that the pork was "horrible" anyway, as it had seasoning on it. 10 Expert Tips for Managing Picky Eaters Simone then moved on to dessert, but unfortunately said that she also found her chocolate mousse "disgusting". Her video, posted under the username (@s33immm) has quickly gone viral, racking up 772,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts, with many unimpressed by Simone's attitude to the cuisine. One person said: "Picky is fine, but insulting other countries' foods is not OK." A second person said: "Fellow lowkey picky eater here but there's a difference between you and me. "I don't go around being disrespectful about food." A third person said: "I'm a very picky eater but this seems disrespectful." A fourth added: "Picky is one thing but just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's disgusting."
