The new KitKat flavour can be found in Sainsbury's
This exciting sweet treat can be found in Sainsbury's for £1 a bar.
The rare flavour goes by the name KitKat Chunky Funky and is Nestle's latest limited edition bar.
The sought-after snack features a cocoa wafer in a marbled milk chocolate and white coating.
Shoppers have been quick to express their excitement with one describing the chocolate as "absolutely brilliant."
While another added: "Oh I need to get to the shop."
KitKat isn't the only brand to recently launch a new flavour, as another popular confectionery brand has just released an all new caramel edition of their cult classic treat.
Terry's have launched a chocolate caramel which is exclusive to the co-op for now.

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.

Spotify to hike prices again for millions worldwide next month – here's how much extra YOU'LL need to pay
The streaming giant is looking to improve its margins CHANGING THEIR TUNE Spotify to hike prices again for millions worldwide next month – here's how much extra YOU'LL need to pay Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SPOTIFY is set to hike its prices again for their millions of worldwide listeners next month. The price of its monthly premium individual subscription will increase from September in select markets. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Spotify has been expanding its library of content to attract more subscribers Credit: Getty The Swedish streaming giant made the announcement on Monday, with subscribers expected to receive an email update explaining the price rise over the next month. Premium individual subscriptions will rise from 10.99 euros to 11.99 euros per month. This will occur in markets including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. Spotify achieved its first annual profit for 2024, which can be linked to its previous price increases, as well as cost-cutting efforts in recent years. The company's shares have jumped by nearly 8 per cent this year, and they have gained about 40 per cent so far this year. The number of monthly active users and premium subscribers also increased over the second quarter. However, the company reported a loss during the period due to high taxes related to employee salaries. The price hike comes just months after Spotify showed developments on its "lossless audio" feature which is expected to make bills more expensive. It hopes to make songs sound even better for an extra fee for listeners. Last week, it was also revealed the company is making strict changes to its music app that could see some accounts deleted due to new UK age checks. Spotify's new AI feature lets you ask it to make any playlist for you – but there's a trick to finding it in the app Spotify has started showing popups asking people to confirm their age to access certain content made for adults, such as 18+ music videos. Users can confirm their age by sharing a selfie or their ID, a move which is compliance with new laws of the Online Safety Act. It is designed to protect children from easily stumbling across inappropriate material on the internet. A growing number of creators also are said to be joining the Spotify Partner Program. The programme is designed to help offer podcast creators more options for monetising their content. It has has also enabled the significant increase in video content on the platform for subscribers, according to CEO Daniel Ek. SAVE MONEY ON SPOTIFY One of the best ways to save money on Spotify is sharing. With a Premium Family subscription, you and five others can share the cost. You each get your own Spotify account with your own playlists and everything else, it's just billed from one place. To use Premium Family you have to all be living under the same roof. The plan currently costs £19.99. If you split that six ways, you're looking at £3.33 each, which is a lot less than paying for your own individual subscription at £11.99. Image credit: Getty

I ditched the UK & bought a house for the same price as a summer holiday – my bills are 3x less & have saved £20k a year
Plus, 10 DIY hacks for under £1 each FLIGHT RISK I ditched the UK & bought a house for the same price as a summer holiday – my bills are 3x less & have saved £20k a year Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BRITISH family-of-six has made a drastic move to Bulgaria, where they are now saving a whopping £22,000 a year on household bills. Fed up with the UK's rising costs and a rental market that left them feeling trapped, Amy Smerdon, 35, and her husband, Jerry, 53, decided to pursue their dream of owning a home. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Amy Smerdon, 35, and her husband, Jerry, 53. Credit: SWNS 9 The family-of-six 'escaped' the UK and bought a house in Bulgaria to be mortgage-free Credit: SWNS 9 Amy Smerdon, 35, and her husband, Jerry, 53, had always dreamed of living off grid Credit: SWNS After realising a mortgage was out of reach in Britain due to age and credit history, they found their solution in Bulgaria, where property prices are significantly lower. The couple - who have two sons aged eight and six, and twin boys aged five - initially bought a three-bedroom home for just £7,000 in 2024 to use as a holiday home. After Amy received some inheritance money when her grandad passed away, the family decided to move permanently. They bought a plot with a warehouse near the town of Popovo, and Jerry, who runs a vape shop and ice cream parlour in the UK, converted it into a liveable home at the beginning of this year. Amy and the children - including her eldest son, eight, from a previous relationship - moved from Wincanton, Somerset, in March 2025. Now, they are renovating the home with a £10,000 budget and feel "free," claiming they are able to save £1,801 a month. "We've regained control of our life," said Amy, a stay-at-home mum. "We're actually a family - not just surviving." Jerry, who has four older sons from previous relationships, shared a similar view. I saved $60k to buy my 'dream' home in less than 5 months - I slept in my car and spent just $2 each day "A big part of this was to give this freedom," he said. "I've been let down by my own country. We were struggling to survive in the UK." Amy had originally considered converting a shipping container into a home to live off-grid, but found the costs were still too high in the UK. She explained their situation: "With the age gap - I'm never going to be able to get a mortgage as I don't have very good credit. "Jerry is older - he'd never be able to get one because of his age. In the UK we see eight-year-olds walking around with iPhones Amy Smerdon "We didn't want to rent somewhere for the rest of our lives. You can't paint that wall, or put something up on one wall." The family had visited Bulgaria on holiday several times and thought it was a "lovely" country. After seeing others buying properties abroad, Amy and Jerry started looking at what was available and took the leap on a doer-upper property. "It was always meant to be a holiday home," Amy said. "It was £7k - the price of what you'd pay for a holiday. Then we had no intention of emigrating." However, as the family started to reflect on their life in the UK, they began to explore how easy a move might be. 9 They realised a mortgage was out of reach in Britain due to age and credit history Credit: SWNS 9 Amy loves that her children can be "free" and play outside in their new home country Credit: SWNS 9 Now, their bills are only £198.50 a month Credit: SWNS Amy was frustrated by the state of the UK, the judgment on parenting, and the rising cost of living and property prices. "We weren't living. We were surviving," she said. "I just feel the UK had become this rat race. It was like Groundhog Day for me." Amy loves that her children can be "free" and play outside in their new home country. "In the UK we see eight-year-olds walking around with iPhones," she said. Everything is so simple and relaxed. It's like going back in time Amy Smerdon "We wanted to escape all of that. Here they can scream and shout. "They can do whatever without someone twitching at the window or knocking and asking for the kids to be quiet. That's really important for me." Amy says the cost of living is also much cheaper. She used to pay £1,300 in rent a month, and her bills cost £670 in Britain. Now, their bills are only £198.50 a month. 9 Amy says the cost of living is also much cheaper Credit: SWNS 9 Amy admits it hasn't been "easy" and they still don't feel "settled" Credit: SWNS 9 Amy used to pay £1,300 in rent a month, and her bills cost £670 in Britain Credit: SWNS Amy admits it hasn't been "easy" and they still don't feel "settled," but they have no regrets.
