Nestlé UK and Ireland has announced that its Quality Street chocolate brand is launching a new sharing bar, combining two of its classic offerings. The Collisions Hazelnut and Caramel chocolate sharing bar brings together two of the brand’s chocolate tin favourites: The Green Triangle and The Purple One. It contains three textured layers, combining golden caramel and a smooth hazelnut filling with crunchy hazelnut pieces. The 245g bar is the brand’s first flavour collision and the third addition to its sharing bar range, which was introduced in 2022 with The Purple One and Orange Crunch flavours. The sharing bar is now exclusively available in Asda and will roll out to other supermarkets and convenience stores later this month. Samantha Hirst, brand manager for Quality Street at Nestlé UK and Ireland said: “We’re sure that Quality Street fans will love the fact that two favourites have been brought together to make a triple-layered treat that’s perfect for gifting or sharing with family and friends”.
