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.

There’s a 46g bar which is perfect for that mid-afternoon snack, or the larger 72g Yorkie Orange Duo, which is ideal for sharing.

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.

Listen to Bring Me the Horizon’s cover of an Oasis classic
Danny Jones
Sheffield favourites Bring Me the Horizon have covered not just an Oasis classic but arguably their biggest song of all time – but is it any good?
The high-flying alternative metalcore band are one of the biggest contemporary rock artists on the planet right now, having most recently been nominated as ‘Group of the Year’ ahead of the 2025 BRIT Awards.
Undoubtedly one of the best-known acts to ever come out of not just Sheffield but Yorkshire as a whole, there’s no project or challenge too big for these lads at this point, which is exactly why they had no trouble taking on one of the most famous songs ever written.
We never thought we’d hear Bring Me the Horizon covering Oasis‘ ‘Wonderwall’, but here we are.
Covering the legendary Britpop anthem to Spotify singles, if you’re expecting it to sound anything like the ‘Wonderwall’ you know, then you’re in for a shock.
It’s certainly not just a straightforward stripped-back bashed out quickly in a studio with an acoustic guitar – far from it…
However, if you are a fan of the current Bring Me sound, you’ll be glad to hear that the Northern heavyweights are tapping into that raw aggression with plenty of nu-metal production value.
On the other hand, although frontman Oli Sykes’ softer and more melodic vocals of late get a good deal of the spotlight, there are plenty of rip-roaring screams layered throughout, not to mention some emo-esque guitar playing and shredding drums with plenty of staccato, double-time and fun fills thrown in.
They even recreated that iconic shot from the music video for the cover art:
They faired rather well.
Uncanny, lads.
Put simply, it’s got some of the best bits from both old and new BMTH only with those iconic lyrics; it does take a minute to get used to hearing ‘Because mayyybe‘ being sung like that, but it’s definitely a grower in our opinion.
The single release also comes with a new somewhat lo-fi electronic ‘EarthcOre remix’ of ‘YOUtopa’ from their most recent seventh studio album, POST HUMAN: NeX GEn; again, this version is rather different from the original but we like both.
Without further ado, please enjoy a short preview down below and you can listen to the Bring Me the Horizon cover version of ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis in full HERE.
What do you make of it?
Does the Bring Me The Horizon cover make ‘Wonderwall’ feel interesting again or is it still just Oasis’ most over-played song ever?
