Also back is the KitKat Gold Rush, a cult classic with crushed caramel crisps.
Shoppers have taken to social media to rave about the comeback, saying the bars are "interesting" and "I have to get these!"
The limited-edition flavours are available in B&M.

New flavour
A brand new KitKat flavour landed in the UK for the first time - but it's left chocolate lovers divided.
The unusual flavour - Lemony Lime - is being described as a "citrusy take on the classic KitKat".

It's being sold at Sunny's Premier Store in Stirling, which is a family-run corner shop that's earned a huge online following.
The store has got a massive 10,800 followers on Instagram as it's become known for stocking rare and sought-after snacks.
The Lemony Lime KitKat is the latest rare snack to land at Sunny's Premier - but shoppers can't agree on whether they'd want to try it.
Some commenters said "yes please!!!" or "I need me some of those kitkats".

Another said: "I'd love this one!"
But a fourth person said: "NO. Just stop messing with a KitKat! There's no need."
And another simply said "ewww".
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
Other new flavours
KitKat has recently launched a series of new flavours to excite chocolate lovers.

The new KitKat Chunky Funky is a crispy cocoa wafer smothered in a marbled mix of creamy milk and white chocolate.
Then there's also the KitKat Chunky Salted Caramel and KitKat Blue Riband Vanilla.
The Salted Caramel flavour is like a normal KitKat Chunky but it has salted caramel in its milk chocolate.
The Blue Riband Vanilla flavour is inspired by the popular chocolatey snack.

Elsewhere, supermarket chain Farmfoods has started selling rare Japanese KitKat flavours.
They include Matcha, Milk Tea and Strawberry.
KitKats are wildly popular in Japan and there have been more than 300 limited edition flavours of the chocolate bar released in the East Asian country.
Many of the flavours are released regionally, and there is a popular tradition where people will bring back flavours for their friends and family when they travel to different regions.
