11 QUALITY Street has made a big change to one of its chocolate pouches before Christmas.
Nestle, which makes the iconic sweets, has added a new chocolate to its Quality Street “Favourites Golden Selection” pouch.
Quality Street has added a new flavour to its golden pouch
The bags feature some of customers’ favourite Quality Street sweets which come in a golden wrapper.
Before this year only the Toffee Finger and the Caramel Swirl were featured in the 283g bag.
But Quality Street has confirmed that now the Toffee Penny has been added.
Fans have been delighted by the news, with one writing commenting on X, formally Twitter, that it was “amazing”.
“It’s going to be a great Christmas,” said another.
“Toffee pennies have always been my favourites. Thank you!” said a third chocolate lover.
Shoppers can buy the Favourites Golden Selection pouches from a range of different supermarkets.
One of the cheapest on the market currently appears to be Asda, which is selling a 283g pouch for £3.50.
Nestle has been making Quality Street pouches for quite some time to offer customers an alternative to the traditional plastic they are served in.
They come in a range of different flavours including a creme selection and a pouch of just Strawberry Delights.
Nestle has made a number of changes to Quality Street ahead of Christmas 2024.
This includes launching entirely paper tubs.
The recyclable box is available to buy in around 60 Tesco stores as Nestle trials more sustainable packaging.
Fans were not impressed by the move with one stating it had taken the “sparkle and excitement out of Christmas”.
The introduction of the new paper tubs does not signal the immediate end of its plastic and metal tins.
Its 600g and 800g tubs are still available to buy at supermarkets and online.
Return of a classic
Nestle has also brought back a Quality Street fan-favourite for the second Christmas in a row.
The coffee creme flavour chocolate was last seen in Quality Street tubs over 20 years ago until the chocolatier reintroduced it last year.
Nestle has confirmed that the sweet treat will be available once again this Christmas.
However, fans won’t find the iconic flavour in the usual Quality Street tubs.
Instead, the coffee-flavour fondant wrapped in dark chocolate has joined the 11 other Quality Street sweets at pick-and-mix stations across selected John Lewis stores in the UK.
They are also available in a limited-edition cracker at Waitrose and John Lewis stores for £5.50.
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.
