KINDER Bueno ice creams have returned to UK supermarket shelves with two new flavours – but only one retailer is stocking them.
Hundreds of shoppers can’t wait to snap up the “amazing” treat after its re-launch was announced last week.

Ferrero UK has revealed the company is launching two brand-new flavours: Kinder Bueno Classic and Kinder Bueno White.
The two new ice cream cones are filled with smooth hazelnut ice cream with a classic Kinder Bueno chocolate sitting at the top. #
With a crunchy hazelnut-cocoa core the ice cream is wrapped in a crispy wafer cone with a hazelnut and cocoa tip – and is decorated with crispy cocoa sprinkles.
Both the new flavours will be available in single cones and multipack.
Dani Hayward-Bradley, Regional Marketing Director, Ice Cream at Ferrero, said in a statement: “The Kinder Bueno ice cream cones first launched across Europe several years ago and have delivered an exceptional performance.
“What’s more, when launched in Ireland last March, Kinder Bueno ice cream cones were hailed as two of the best performing new products in the category, demonstrating the potential opportunity on offer to drive additional ice cream sales in the UK market.”
The new Kinder Bueno ice cream cones entered the UK market in November and are understood to be available in Morrisons stores nationwide for £4.95.
One eagle-eyed shopper who spotted the new delicacies shared the news on Facebook.
They wrote: “Ferrero brings Kinder Bueno ice cream cones back to the UK. Now available in MORRISONS.”
The two new flavours mark the re-return of Kinder Bueno ice creams which were pulled out of the shelves after they were stocked at Tesco and Iceland stores for a short time.
Customers were left delighted by the news back then, with some flooding social media with comments.
One user wrote at the time: “They sold these a few years ago they are amazing!!”
A second added: “These are amazing,” while a third commented: “I need these.”
Meanwhile, shoppers are rushing to buy a new festive chocolate bar that doubles up as a fun Christmas game.
Asda is selling Merry Chocolate Dominoes bars, which can be turned into the classic game this festive season—and they only cost £3.
An eagle-eyed shopper spotted the steal dead at the bargain chain.
Posting about the proud discovery on Facebook, they wrote: “Chocolate Dominoes Spotted At Asda.”
The post wracked up hundreds of likes and comments with many group members expressing their Christmas excitement.
One such user said: “One way to win is to eat them when others are not looking.”
Another said: “Need to buy this asap.”
One sceptic user wrote: “As kids it was knocked into us not to play with your food.”
Shoppers can play the Dominoes and have fun during festive gatherings using the chocolate bar.
Meanwhile, a chocolate classic is getting a revival just in time for Christmas.
Chocolate lovers are also raving about a new type of M&M – the Candy Popcorn M&M Minis.
Nestle also added a new chocolate to its Quality Street “Favourites Golden Selection” pouch: the Toffee Penny.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
