“It’s that time of the year again, when we delight KitKat Chunky fans with innovative new flavours from the brand,” commented Callum Smith, assistant brand manager for KitKat.
“For 2021, we are thrilled to introduce KitKat Chunky Salted Caramel Popcorn. We think our newest Chunky is unlike anything else currently on the market, making it a fun and exciting proposition for shoppers to try. It not only delivers on taste and texture, but with its retro red and white striped packaging, it looks great too.”
