The Australian-born treat has touched down in the UK- and they're going down a treat.
Biscoff KitKat Chunky bars have finally arrived in the UK, and they’re now stocked on supermarket shelves.
Available from just 60p or 3 for £1.20, these chocolate-Biscoff treats are bound to be flying off the shelves shortly, reports The Manc.
Following its popular arrival down under in Australia, shoppers on this side of the pond have long been anticipating the release of the chocolate bar that combines two absolute fan-favourite sweet treats, with rumours that it would soon be sold seen circulating on social media for many months now.
But it’s now been confirmed that Biscoff KitKat Chunky bars have arrived in Tesco stores nationwide.
The new Biscoff KitKat Chunky is made up of the classic KitKat Chunky wafer finger, but this time comes with a delicious layer Lotus Biscoff spread packed inside, all before the bar is covered in decadent milk chocolate.
Speaking on the release of the Biscoff KitKat Chunky, Joyce Tan – Head of Marketing at Nestlé – said: “You asked, we answered – Biscoff is one of the most requested and searched-for items on the website, so we knew we had a job to do.
“We wanted to excite fans with a flavour and texture combination that would leave them longing for their next break.”

Kathleen Buyst – Global Brand Director at Biscoff – added: “Lotus Biscoff has been a favourite in for over 10 years [so] we are excited to collaborate with KitKat to offer a unique and delicious flavour combination.”
Judging by a post spreading the word that Biscoff KitKat Chunkys are now available in the UK that was shared by the ever-popular food spotting account New Foods UK on both Facebook and Instagram earlier this week, people seem really eager to head on down to their nearest Tesco to see if they can get their hands on a bar.
The post has amassed tens of thousands of interactions and shares on both social platforms, as well as thousands of comments from those with a sweet tooth.
“I could easily eat 96939693 of these in one sitting,” one eager comment reads.
Biscoff KitKat Chunky bars are now available at Tesco stores across the UK for an RRP of £0.60, or three for £1.20 for shoppers with a Tesco Clubcard.

A slice of New York has arrived in Leeds – and the pizzas are 18 inches wide
Popular pizza pop-up Edges Pizza has opened a permanent home in Leeds city centre.
Last summer you may have had the privilege to enjoy a slice of Edges Pizza at one of their many pop-up residencies across the city.
Their longest stint was at the sun-drenched roof terrace of Green Room, and it's safe to say their pizza went down an absolute treat.
Since then they've been a little quiet, but all for good reason. Edges Pizza has just opened a permanent new takeaway under the arches in Holbeck, and it's absolutely class.

Owners Grace and Edge who are from Harrogate opened Edges two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.
They've completely transformed the space into a proper love letter to the big apple. It will operate mainly as a takeaway, but there is a small seating area where you can perch and tuck into your pie.

The menu is perfectly curated, consisting of eight pizzas and three dips. And trust us, they are absolutely massive.
We opted for the American Hot with spicy pepperoni, banana peppers and parmesan as well as the mushroom pie topped with garlic creme fraiche and chestnut mushrooms.
Drizzled and dunked into moreish hot honey, it's rivalling some of the best pizza in the city.

For now, grabbing a pizza from Edges operates through a pre-order system. Pre-orders open at 12pm the day before via their website, you can pick your collection time and then you simply have to rock up and get your pizza.
There's loads of parking available nearby and if there are any remaining slots available you can pre-order up to an hour before collection.
We've got a feeling they're going to very busy indeed.
Dishoom announces official opening date for new Leeds restaurant
Clementine Hall
It's the moment we've all been waiting for, Dishoom is coming to Leeds.
The whispers of Dishoom's arrival in Leeds city centre have been going on for a while now, but over the past few weeks it has started to feel very real.
Taking over the beautiful old Flannel's site on the coveted Vicar Lane, signs started to pop up for Dishoom and work was cracking on fast.
Well now, we have an opening date - and we don't have long to wait.
Dishoom Leeds will open on Monday 3 August, with guests being able to enjoy 50% off food during an initial soft-opening period, ahead of the official opening on Friday 14 August.

As with every Dishoom café, the Leeds restaurant begins with a story. This one takes inspiration from the extraordinary true events surrounding the explosion of the SS Fort Stikine in Bombay Dock in April 1944, a wartime disaster that sent gold bars flying across the city.
Legend has it that some of the missing gold was never recovered. Some was discovered embedded in walls and rooftops across Bombay. Other pieces quietly disappeared into the hands of lucky citizens, melted into bangles or hidden away in drawers.
Dishoom Leeds reimagines the fortune made from the gold bars and guests will discover subtle references to the glamorous mid-century details through the interiors and artwork, giving playful nods to Bombay’s golden age.
With all day dining available, guests can dine on the beloved breakfast right through to late evening feasting, with the café will serve a lovingly curated menu of Bombay comfort food inspired by the city’s cafés, grills, street stalls and family kitchens.
Shamil Thakrar, co-founder, also known as Head Babu, at Dishoom, said: “Leeds is a city with tremendous warmth, creativity and character, full of people who know the value of gathering together over good food and drinks. Bringing Dishoom here has long been a dream for us.”
"The story behind this café is rooted in one of Bombay’s most extraordinary moments – the day gold bars fell from the sky after the explosion of Fort Stikine in 1944. Amidst the tragedy and chaos, there were also tales of unexpected fortune, human resilience and hopeful reinvention. We were captivated by this, and we cannot wait to welcome Leeds into the café that pays homage to the heritage of Bombay.”
