You Can Now Get A Christmas KitKat Version Of The Maltesers Bar

There's only seven weeks until the big day, so it's time to get serious about Christmas chocolate planning. Luckily, Nestlé has launched a KitKat Santa-shaped crunchy bar, and it could be a serious contender for our fave festive choccie of 2020.

If you love Maltesers chocolate bunnies and reindeer, then this will be music to your ears.

Equal parts crunchy, equal parts smooth, the gluten-free bar is a milk chocolate shell with a chocolately filling, infused with rice-based crispy pieces. They also use sustainably sourced cocoa from the Rainforest Alliance (in 2016, KitKat celebrated becoming the first 100% globally certified sustainably sourced brand), so that basically means they are good for you, right?

In even more exciting news, the KitKat Santa also comes in sharing bag form and as an advent calendar, meaning we can enjoy its deliciousness every day in the run up to Christmas.

Thank you, chocolate Gods!

Elsewhere in the Nestlé festive range, there are Aero Dreamy Snowbubbles, an After Eight Christmas tin, Milkybar Reindeers and a debut Christmas Collection from Dairy Box - which offers a tempting range of seasonal flavours including gingerbread and Christmas pudding.

Rachel Beaufoy, Seasonal & Gifting Marketing Manager at Nestlé said: "This year will be a Christmas like no other, and the memories we create with family and friends all the more important. We hope that our festive range will bring those extra moments of pleasure to the season, whether that's finding the perfect stocking stuffer with one of our giant tubes, counting down the days with a delicious advent calendar treat or competing to see who gets the last Quality Street green triangle.

"From Aero to After Eight, there really is something for everyone in the mix. We're especially excited to introduce our brand-new products for 2020, such as KitKat Santa and Aero Snowbubbles, which we hope consumers will love as much as we do."

Maltesers has also launched brand new Truffles advent calendars

This year you can also get your hands on Maltesers brand new truffles advent calendar, and they look absolutely insane. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.

The new KitKat Santa bars are available to buy in stores now (they cost 50p a piece at Sainsbury's), so if you fancy getting your crunch on, you know what to do.
