Nestlé launches new KitKat and Yorkie bars with fruit and nuts

Nestlé will introduce new KitKat and Yorkie chocolate bars in the UK and Ireland as part of a new range called More.

Both bars contain fruit, nuts and cereal, and Nestlé claims that the bars contains more protein, fibre and 30% less sugar than comparable chocolate bars.

KitKat Chunky More consists of a crispy wafer combined with a thick layer of real fruit and hazelnut, while Yorkie More contains crunchy oat clusters, crisp apple pieces and a hint of cinnamon, coated with Yorkie chocolate.

Both bars were developed at Nestlé’s global R&D centre, and the company claims that the launch represents “another step in Nestlé’s ongoing work to innovate and develop its confectionery to provide better choices.”

Alex Gonnella, marketing director for Nestlé Confectionery in the UK & Ireland said: “We are really proud of these latest innovations.

“Whether it is fruit, nuts or oats; the fibre or protein they provide; this range really does offer more and is our next generation of chocolate bars with 30% less sugar.”

The KitKat Chunky More will go on sale from next week while the Yorkie More will follow before the end of the year.
