The Lindt Creme Brûlée chocolate bar is filled with a creamy custard with chunks of caramelised sugar pieces.
One savvy shopper shared a snap of the find in Lidl and sparked excitement with others on Snack Reviews Facebook.
He wrote: "Lindt Creation Creme Brulee bar with smooth Swiss milk chocolate, creamy Creme Brulee-flavoured filling, and crunchy caramel pieces.
"It's like a dessert and a chocolate bar in one, spotted at Lindt store."
One wrote "Look at that bad boy."
"How much please, these look amazing," said another.
Others tagged friends in the post to spread the love.
Crème brûlée is a French favourite, known for its rich custard base topped with a thin, crisp layer of caramelised sugar.
The custard is typically flavored with vanilla and baked slowly in a water bath to achieve its smooth texture.
The delicious chocolate bar was found in the new Lindt store in London.
The Piccadilly store opened in March this year to celebrate the brand's 180th anniversary.
The 2,800 square foot site, opposite Piccadilly Circus tube station and features a ceiling decorated with copper mesh cocoa pods.
Stefan Bruderer, master chocolatier at Lindt & Sprüngli, described the new store as a "feast and vision for the senses".
Customers can also pick up a host of London-themed gifts including bespoke tins and themed chocolate sleeves.
A Dubai-style pack of Lindt chocolate pralines is also selling exclusively at the store, with a 90g pack costing £14.
There is also a Lindt pick 'n' mix station where visitors can choose from every possible flavour of Lindor ball - including rare ones like Matcha, Raspberry and Cream and Blood Orange.
Shoppers went mad for an "incredible" new flavour Lindor ball based on a classic British biscuit.
They posted an image of the new Lindor limited edition shortbread and captioned it: "Lindor Milk chocolate with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling!
"These are incredible, now available at Lindt store."
Over 6000 people have liked the post and almost 6000 have commented, with one saying they were "on a mission" to find them.
Another wrote: "Need to head to Lindt shop at Livingston to try these."
"Love this flavour," said another.
"What are they doing to us, these need trying!!" exclaimed someone else.
"These would be so good!!!" wrote another fan.
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.

Hannah Hampton reveals she launched rival goalkeeper's cheat sheet into the CROWD during Euros final penalty shootout in bid to help Lionesses team-mates
Hannah Hampton has hilariously revealed that she threw Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll's water bottle containing England's penalty information into the stands during the shootout in the Euros final. The match had gone to penalties after ending 1-1 in normal time, with Alessia Russo cancelling out Mariona Caldentey's early header. As Sarina Wiegman gathered her penalty takers into a huddle, Chelsea stopper Hampton was seen in conversation with a coach on the sidelines. Cameras picked up a piece of paper taped to her forearm, detailing the likely directions Spain's players would aim their penalties. Hampton has now explained how she turned the tables after noticing Coll's water bottle had been left unattended. Speaking to talkSPORT, Hampton said: 'The Spanish keeper had it (the penalty information) on her bottle, so I thought when she was going in goal, I'd just pick it up and chuck it into the English fans so she can't have it. 'I don't ever put it on a bottle because anyone can do that so I put it on my arm.' An incredulous Sam Matterface replied: Picked up her bottle and threw it?' And Hampton replied: 'Yeah, it wasn't hard. When she's gone in the goal, it's on its own isn't it? It's in the towel.' When Coll returned to her towel, she was visibly confused to find a replacement bottle – which Hampton had put there – but no notes, and was left searching for her original one. 'She was walking back to take the penalty and I was walking the other way and she was so confused, and I was just trying not to burst out laughing, being like, "I don't know what's happening!".' Matterface added: 'This is happening at the key moment in a penalty shootout for the title of European champions?' to which Hampton replied: 'Yeah, you've got to do something, haven't you?' England ended up winning the shootout, with Alex Greenwood, Niamh Charles and Chloe Kelly all converting from the spot as the Lionesses retained their European crown. Hampton meanwhile saved two penalties from Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati and Salma Paralluelo missed hers.

'Lineker's legs introduced me to Tottenham'
You have been sharing your stories and photos about why you love is a final selection of your submissions, but do make sure you scroll down this page to see all the best responses from throughout the week: Mark: Why do I Support the Spurs? I never really had a choice - Spurs is in my blood. My grandad, a lifelong fan from Tottenham, made sure I grew up on stories of legends like Dave Mackay and Jimmy Greaves, and saw magical moments like Ricky Villa's 1981 FA Cup final goal. He'd tell tales of White Hart Lane, when football was pure and you could pay at the gate. Supporting Spurs isn't about chasing glory - it's about family, tradition and identity. The game may have changed, but my love for Tottenham hasn't. Thanks, Grandad. It's not just football. It's who I am. Sara: I wasn't really interested in football until high school age. I didn't even understand the rules. That was till my friend, Sarah, became obsessed with Gary Lineker. Every inch of her room was plastered with pictures of him - you'd struggle to find the door with the light on."It was his legs" she reasoned. Curious as to why his legs were so special and whether all footballers had the same legs, I started watching the odd game on TV. I never got the answer, as I became hooked by something far less interesting - their high tempo creative style of play, exemplified by a young lad called Paul Gascoigne. It was exciting to watch. So I kept coming back for more, even when times were bad and way after Sarah had long given up on Lineker's so it was that I became a long-suffering Spurs fan. No regrets.

'Outlander' prequel series 'Blood of My Blood' goes back in time again — to meet the parents
In Starz 's ' Outlander,' Caitriona Balfe's Claire Fraser is bold and brave. She can also think on her feet in high-pressure moments. Her husband Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan, is protective and empathetic. In a new prequel series out Friday, called 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood,' we see how they each got that way. 'Blood of My Blood' tells the love story of Jamie's parents, Ellen and Brian, and Claire's parents, Julia and Henry. The characters are inspired by the stories of Diana Gabaldon but there are no novels for showrunner Matthew B. Roberts to follow. He also is the showrunner of the original series, which debuts its final season early next year. With no source material 'there's a lot more room to play in," explained Roberts. In 'Outlander,' "there are all these tentpole moments that we have to write to because that's what our audience wants from the books.' The Frasers In the books, Gabaldon mentions Jamie's parents in 'breadcrumbs' said Roberts. 'We stick to those, but the freedom is what can we do after that to get to essentially where 'Outlander' begins.' The big obstacle facing Jamie's parents, Ellen and Brian, who meet in 18th century Scotland — is that they come from families that 'don't get on,' said Harriet Slater, who plays Ellen. 'They don't mix. It's completely forbidden. My father's worst enemy was Brian's father so I'm sure he'd have had some strong words to say about the whole thing.' Jamie Roy, who plays Brian, enjoys the duality of his character. There's the 'tough, stoic, Highland warrior' who he says 'rides around on horses and swings swords and stuff.' Then there's this 'lovely, gentle, poetic, romantic guy who wants nothing more than to take care of other people.' A few months ago Roy went back and rewatched episodes from season one of 'Outlander,' because he wanted to watch Heughan as his TV son. 'There's so many people who had said there was resemblances about our performances and such. I was like, 'Well, let me see what Sam's journey was like right at the start. And I kind of see what they mean.' The Beauchamps Claire's parents Julia and Henry are mentioned even less in the books. They died in a car accident when Claire was young. We see them meet in 'Blood of My Blood' during World War I. Henry was a soldier and Julia worked in postal censorship. 'When we meet him, he's pretty much given up," said Jeremy Irvine, who plays Henry. 'I think he's accepted death really and doesn't have anything to live for and sends this one last lifeline out in the form of an open letter back to England.' Julia finds his letter at work and feels compelled to respond. The two end up falling in love while writing back-and-forth. A series of events send Julia and Henry, like their daughter, back in time. They end up in the 1700s where Irvine explains they are 'trying to live second by second.' "The time they've gone back to is not a friendly time to be an outsider at all. Being an outsider would likely mean death. Henry and Julia, as is Claire, are very quick-witted, fast-thinking, intelligent people. They survive by the skin of their teeth.' Season 2 of 'Blood of My Blood' is coming too The cast is already in production on season two of 'Blood of My Blood.' Hermoine Corfield, who plays Julia, says it's been nice filming 'in our own little secret bubble.' Promoting the series has been tricky because they have to remember what happened in season one versus season two. 'You almost forget what you did in season one because you're already onto that next journey and storyline,' said Corfield.
