Shoppers spot TWO new McVitie’s biscuit with unusual flavours in discount store
SHOPPERS have spotted two new McVitie’s biscuits with unusual flavours in a discount store.
A photo of the intriguing combinations was shared on Instagram and the post has already racked up nearly 300 likes.
Newfoodspotteruk shared that fan favourites McVities Moments are available in B&M Stores and in two new flavours.
Cinnamon & Spice Shortcake and Milk Chocolate Dipped Shortcake – just in time for an Easter treat.
The news comes just after the beloved Penguin bar was shaken up and turned into a brand new sweet treat.
McVitie’s has introduced Penguin Milkshake Cake Bars also in two flavours.
They are made of a fluffy sponge topped with either a strawberry or chocolate milkshake-flavoured filing.
The cake bar is also covered in smooth milk chocolate.
These new milkshake inspired bars will set shoppers back £1.75 for a pack of five, meaning each bar will cost just 35p.
The Penguin Milkshake Cake Bars are exclusively available at Morrisons but they will roll out to Tesco and Asda from 14 April.
Brand spokesperson Zeynep Daghan Erol revealed why McVitie’s has launched this flavour.
Erol said: “We’re beyond excited to unveil our new Penguin Milkshake bars!
“With milkshake flavours trending, we’ve added the perfect twist to our fun-loving iconic brand.
“We’re confident this irresistible combo is going to be a hit and cannot wait for our fans and snack lovers to dive in and give them a try!”
These haven’t been the only biscuit to excite McVitie lovers because a brand new treat has been inspired by a retro classic from the 80s.
The company has introduced the new Gold Billions Chocolate & Hazelnut flavour.
The new creation features layers of crisp wafer, complemented by a chocolate and hazelnut-flavoured cream filling.
This is all encased in the indulgent golden caramel chocolate.
For those who remember, this treat is reminiscent of the classic McVitie’s 80s Gold bar.
The biscuit-maker also recently launched a new take on the snack – the Gold Billions Wafer.
It feature the same caramel coating but inside has layers of crisp wafer and cream filing.
This new addition to the McVitie’s is a fresh spin on the choc bar adding a hazelnut flavour filling.
Olivia Haley, chocolate biscuits brand manager at Pladis UK and Ireland, the company which owns McVities, said: “This brand new flavour follows the overwhelming success of McVitie’s Gold Billions.
“Which was first introduced in 2023 and marked the first variation of the iconic 80s classic in over three decades.
“We can’t wait to hear what our fans think!”
The 39g biscuit is priced at just 79p and shoppers can find it at convenience stores nationwide, including Nisa and Spar.
