Nestlé has jumped on the chocolate orange bandwagon with the launch of a new limited edition Orange Yorkie bar, and they’re stocked on shelves at B&M.
Long gone are the days when Terry dominated the chocolate orange market for those with a sweet tooth, as 2020 saw the launch of the highly-anticipated Cadbury Chocolate Orange range which features Twirls, Buttons and Fingers that are now all regularly spotted in most shops and supermarkets.
And then earlier this year, Galaxy also launched a ‘Smooth Orange’ take on its popular milk chocolate bar, that’s already going down a treat with fans.
Now, it’s the turn of the Yorkie Orange.
After teasing the new release on social media late last month, Nestlé UK & Ireland confirmed that the Yorkie Orange would be hitting shelves up and down the country from 10 May, and described it as a “delicious twist” on the original Yorkie chocolate bar with solid pieces of smooth orange-flavoured milk chocolate in the classic chunky shape that everyone loves.

Speaking ahead of the launch of the Yorkie Orange earlier this month, Amy Kendall – Brand Manager at Yorkie – said: “Yorkie has been a consumer favourite for 45 years, and we’re very excited to introduce a brand new twist on this chocolate classic.

“Delicious chunks of our signature Yorkie creamy milk chocolate are enlivened with irresistible orange to create a moreish taste sensation that we hope will become a firm favourite.”
She also added: “We know how much shoppers in the UK and Ireland love to try new products from their favourite brands.
“We think Yorkie Orange is a winning combination and can’t wait for people to try it”.

This is everything we ever thought we needed and more!
We're big fans of the OG Yorkie , so an orange variant is a must-try!
Well, people have been trying it, and it sounds like they’ve been absolutely loving it too, if the rave reviews plastered across social media and on food blogging accounts are anything to go by, that is.
If you’re keen to get your hands on a Yorkie Orange to try for yourself, then leading discount retail chain B&M has announced it’ll be selling bars of the limited edition chocolate treat for just 49p from this week, which appears to be by far the cheapest you’ll find it.

A sustainable vintage fashion shop and kilo sale is popping up in a Greater Manchester town in a couple of days time.
And all the proceeds will go to a very-worthy charity.
Merely weeks after the UK’s largest vintage market descended on the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester city centre, another sustainable fashion event will be popping up in one of the region’s popular shopping centres for the month.
British Heart Foundation will be hosting a brand-new pop-up shop and vintage kilo sale, where you can buy clothing and other goods at a fixed price per kilogram, in Stretford town centre.
Opening its doors this Saturday (5 April), the charity will be taking over the vacant unit that’s next door to JD Sports to provide the Stretford community with a charity shop filled with all sorts of vintage goods and thrifty finds.
Visitors will be able to sift through shelves stacked with major brands at bargain prices, making it the perfect way to sustainably stock up on wardrobe staples and revamp ready for spring.

Jack Grealish dedicates first league goal in 16 months to late brother on anniversary of his death
Danny Jones
Manchester City star Jack Grealish held back the tears following his first Premier League goal in more than 16 months, but not in relief after breaking the duck, because it came on a very emotional day for him and his family.
The Man City and England midfielder opened the scoring in the Blues’ 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday night, bringing an end to his goal drought after a total of 473 days.
But what made it even more special is that the game happened to coincide with the anniversary of his late brother Keelan’s death.
Speaking in his post-match interview after picking up the man of the match award, Grealish was in a noticeably quieter mood than his usual charismatic self before revealing that the day marked the 25th anniversary of his younger sibling’s death.

The 29-year-old went on to reveal that the date coincided with Keelan’s passing and acknowledged that it’s “hard on the family but [I’m] happy to score”.
His mum and dad, Karen and Kevin, were up in the stands; it doesn’t need explaining why scoring in that particular moment was so special for all of them.
Clearly stirred by addressing what was a bittersweet occasion, he signed off by adding, “To score and to win was brilliant.”
Keelan Daniel Grealish was just nine months old when he tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) back in 2000 – ‘Super Jack’ was just four at the time.
Paying tribute on social media after the game, the comments below his post were filled with love and support.
Besides the goal itself, the former Aston Villa star was keen to reiterate that he was never brought to the club to score bags of goals and “has a lot more to offer” than just hitting the back of the net.
Touching on his Grealish’s game and the tribute to Keelan during his post-match duties, manager Pep Guardiola went on to add: “Jack is an incredible human being; in terms of gestures and for the other people, he’s incredibly generous.
“I didn’t know that [it was the anniversary of his brother’s death]. I can’t imagine how tough it could be for mum, dad, sister, and all the family. It’s good on this day to remember him, I’m pretty sure they remember every single day.”
A lovely moment from a much-loved character around the Eithad Stadium as well as up and down the country. Rest in peace, Keelan.
