The new treat, called Skittles Citrus contains five new flavours: Orange, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin and Blood Orange.
Mars said they are available at big supermarkets, grocery stores and corner shops across the country.
And the sought-after treat was posted to the popular New Foods UK Facebook group when it was spotted in Asda.
The post received likes and comments from sweet fans eager to get their hands on the new flavour.
"Ooooh another one for the list," said one excited fan.
Another asked a friend: "plz look out for these i need them."
To which her friend replied: "Just got you a pkt, last on the shelf xx"
While another confessed: "I've had these, they are tasty."
""I've wanted this my entire life," added a fifth sweet fan.
This is the first Skittles flavour to launch since the brand released its Skittles Giants Gooey early last year.

Companies often try out new flavours to excite shoppers, and Skittles' senior brand manager Florence McGivern said flavour experts had been perfecting the new snack for "months".
"We know our shoppers are always looking for new, bold flavours, and citrus is the perfect way to bring something fresh and exciting to our Skittles lineup," she said.
The Sun recently chatted to insiders at Mars and Walkers about how they come up with new flavours - and why other products get discontinued. You can read more about that here.
Meanwhile, Swizzels have revealed a new flavour of classic sweets hitting supermarkets in days and shoppers can't wait.
And new flavours of Haribo sweets have hit the shelves in Lidl - and shoppers are loving them.
Plus, shoppers are rushing to Lidl to grab the new flavour of popular sorbet sweet.
Finally, Haribo has recalled sweets found to contain cannabis as the police launched a probe into gummies that 'made a family fall ill'.
