Nestlé Confectionery is adding a brand-new, limited-edition Salted Caramel Pretzel variant to its Yorkie chocolate bar range in the UK and Ireland.

The new Duo bar combines chunks of salted caramel-flavoured milk chocolate with crunchy pretzel inclusions. It caters to growing demand for confectionery with sweet and salty flavour profiles, a rising flavour fusion trend as consumers seek out more complex and layered sensory experiences.

Like the other products in Yorkie’s range, the new variant is made without artificial colours or flavours and is made with Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa.

Rachel Beaufoy, marketing manager for Nestlé Confectionery, commented: “We know that Yorkie fans love a chocolate bar with substance, and the new Yorkie Salted Caramel Pretzel Duo delivers just that”.

“The combination of smooth caramel flavour milk chocolate and crunchy pretzel pieces brings extra texture to the bar while staying true to the brand’s chunky format.”

Yorkie Salted Caramel Pretzel Duo is launching in stores nationwide from this week (9 March 2026), priced at an RRP of £1.29.
