Credit: Alamy A Facebook user shared their find on the popular NewFoodsUK page, posting: 'New Kinder Krispy Bars spotted at the Meal Deal section in Tesco!!' The new snack features a crispy wafer layered with smooth milky and cocoa-hazelnut creams, wrapped in milk chocolate and topped with biscuit crumbs. It's quickly becoming a fan favourite, thanks to its indulgent flavour and affordable price. Tesco Clubcard holders can also include it as part of a meal deal, making it even more appealing. The post sparked a wave of excitement, with fans flooding the comments section to share their thoughts. One shopper said: 'Next time I'm getting those sandwiches.' Another added: 'These are amazingly good.' A third chimed in: 'These are really nice.' Others tagged their friends and family, eager to spread the word and make sure they didn't miss out. Some compared the new bar to a Kinder Egg in bar form, while others simply declared, 'Yes please.' Many are now on the hunt at their local branches, hoping to snap one up before they sell out. Save with secret codes This launch is just the latest in a series of new Kinder products delighting fans in UK supermarkets. Shoppers can also find a Kinder Hamper available at Home Bargains, packed with favourites including Kinder Bueno, Kinder Bueno White, Kinder Surprise and Happy Hippo Biscuits. Meanwhile, Kinder Crunchy Cookies have also appeared in stores. These cookies are filled with a generous mix of milk and white chocolate chips, offering yet another way for fans to get their Kinder fix. The growing Kinder range shows the brand's continued popularity and willingness to bring fresh ideas to supermarket shelves. 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 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.

Shock twist as Jennifer Aniston's shirtless ‘stalker' WON'T stand trial for ‘harassing star & ramming into mansion gate'
JENNIFER Aniston's accused stalker who crashed into the security gates at her Bel Air mansion has been declared unfit to stand trial by a psychiatrist, The U.S. Sun can reveal. Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, from Mississippi, appeared in mental health court in Hollywood on Thursday morning. Advertisement 6 Jennifer Aniston's accused stalker Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, seen in court on May 8, has been declared mentally unwell Credit: Reuters 6 Jennifer Aniston was at home in her home when Carwyle allegedly smashed his car into the gates Credit: Getty 6 Carwyle was seen at an early court hearing with his head down as he boarded a sheriff's bus Credit: Ruaridh Connellan for The U.S. Sun Carwyle has pleaded not guilty to charges including felony stalking and felony vandalism after allegedly driving his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gates of Aniston's property on May 5, 2025. He appeared in court on Thursday wearing a yellow t-shirt and sporting a new look after a shave and a haircut, a stark difference to his previously disheveled appearance. In mental health court last week, public defender Robert Krauss revealed a psychiatrist's review found him to be incompetent to stand trial. But Carwyle demanded a second opinion and Judge Maria Cavalluzzi said it was his legal right to have another psychiatrist review his mental state. Advertisement On Thursday, Krauss revealed the new psychiatrist is also of the opinion he is "not presently competent to stand trial." He told the court, "It's not the outcome my client would have preferred." RESTRAINING ORDER Criminal proceedings are now suspended and Cawryle will be put on medication ahead of an interest of justice and placement hearing on June 26, 2025. The judge said two new reports will be produced and it will be an "opportunity to hear from the victim," although it will likely be a statement through Aniston's lawyer. Advertisement Carwyle is accused of harassing Aniston, 56, including social media, email, and voicemail messages between March 1, 2023, and the day he was arrested. He is charged with one count each of felony stalking and felony vandalism, along with aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm. Jennifer Aniston's shirtless 'stalker' insists he can stand trial despite wife revealing he 'believes he's Jesus' Aniston was at home during the incident but did not come face-to-face with her alleged stalker, as he was held at gunpoint by her security team until police arrived. A judge previously granted a restraining order keeping him at least 100 yards away from the Friends star and banning any contact. Advertisement The U.S. Sun understands Carwyle had been speaking to someone online who was impersonating Aniston in the weeks leading up to the incident, who had also been in contact with his family. The actress's lawyer, Blair Berk, was present in court on Thursday but did not speak during the hearing and refused to comment on the ongoing case. Carwyle's estranged wife previously claimed he traveled to Los Angeles months ago on a mission to meet the actress. Julia Carwyle told the Daily Mail he believes he's Jesus and Aniston is supposed to be his "queen." Advertisement "I guess he was speaking with her. He had the impression that Jennifer Aniston and he were going to talk and meet," she said. "He thought 'Maybe she's just going to meet a guy [...] to take a chance.' That's the way he was thinking." After seeing shocking images of Carwyle shirtless and staring ahead in his first court hearing, Julia said she no longer recognizes her husband. "It doesn't even look like him. He's no longer there," she said. Advertisement According to the outlet, Aniston is now looking at relocating to her newly-renovated Montecito mansion following the incident. She purchased the luxury home from Oprah Winfrey in 2022 through an off-market deal for around $15 million. Celebrity friends including Gwyneth Paltrow and Jimmy Kimmel are said to be offering to help her settle in. "Jen is happy to have a safe place to run to where she can let her hair down," a source said.

Ed Gale, actor who played Chucky in 'Child's Play,' dies at 61
Ed Gale, the stunt actor who physically played the killer doll Chucky in the first two "Child's Play" movies and "Bride of Chucky," has died, his family announced. He was 61. "Ed Gale has taken his final bow and is now headlining in the afterlife," Kayse Gale, his niece, said in a Facebook post Tuesday. Gale was hospitalized a few days before his death and was having difficulty breathing, Cindy Osbrink, his representative, told NBC News on Wednesday. He was being moved into hospice care when he died Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. One of Gale's closest friends traveled from the East Coast to meet with him one more time before his death. "I think he was waiting for the friend," Osbrink said. Born in Plainwell, Michigan, in 1963, Gale went to California when he was 20 "with $41 and a dream, and he never looked back," his niece wrote. Gale made his acting debut as one of multiple actors to physically play Howard T. Duck in the 1986 sci-fi comedy "Howard the Duck," followed by another role in sci-fi spoof "Spaceballs" in 1987. In 1988, Gale first physically portrayed Chuck in "Child's Play," then took the stunt role again for the 1990 sequel, "Child's Play 2." He continued with the franchise in the 1998 film "Bride of Chucky." Actor Brad Dourif has voiced the character since its debut. Gale appeared in more than 130 movies, television shows and commercials at the time of his death, according to his niece's post. He was credited with roles in "Chopper Chicks in Zombietown" (1989), "The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle" (2000) and most recently credited for "Pandemonic" in 2020. "With this wide ranging body of work, he leaves behind a legacy full of questionable lighting and amazing one-liners," Gale's niece wrote.
