Toblerone launches orange-flavoured bar – and it's available now in Tesco
Orange is the new chocolate. Well, at least according to Toblerone; a citrus edition of the popular bar is already on sale in UK supermarkets.
Zesty orange and creamy chocolate is a divisive flavour combination, causing some to recoil while others can’t get enough.
But citrus appears to be the new chocolate trend, with Toblerone following in the footsteps of Cadbury’s Buttons, Fingers and Twirl, which have all had orange-flavoured editions.
The new bar boasts the traditional Swiss milk chocolate with honey and almond nougat, but this time it also has added candied orange peel and ginger.
The new flavour is now available in Tesco stores, where the 360g bar is on offer until 8 September, reduced from £4.50 to £4.
It will be available to buy at other retailers in the weeks to come.

Created in 1908, Toblerone is well over 100 years old.
Its name is actually a play on words with the founder’s family name - Tobler - and the Italian word for honey and almond nougat: torrone.
Confectionary giant Mondelez International, who created the chocolate bar, credits its success with its recognisable shape, which was inspired by the company founder’s mountainous homeland.
