Lindt fans buzz over new Lindor flavour inspired by famed British snack

There is nothing like tucking into a chocolatey treat when you are in need of some sugar - and Brits are going wild after spotting a rare Lindor flavour on shelves. Swiss chocolatier Lindt is best-known for its eclectic flavours and colourful packaging, and recently dropped a unique flavour inspired by a favourite British biscuit. The chocolate boxes have been spotted in high street stores, and fans are excited to get their hands on it.

The limited edition treats come in a deep purple wrapper and matching box and are inspired by shortbread, a popular butter-based biscuit from Scotland. Lindt fans are so obsessed with the new release, they have vowed to fill up their trolley immediately before the treats are gone.

The limited-edition flavour won't be around forever - so if you want a box, you will have to act fast.

The treats are priced at £5.50 per 100g and have been described as 'milk chocolate truffles with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling.'

A post shared on New Foods UK got fans excited recently, and left them rushing to comment their thoughts.

The post read: "New Limited Edition Shortbread Lindor! Milk chocolate with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling! These are incredible, now available at Lindt stores."

"I'm going to need to stock up on these," wrote one other. Another commented: "Oh my, will have to look out for these." "These would be so good," added one other.

One who has tried them, said: "They are so nice."

In another post on Facebook by Snack News & Reviews, which showcased the new product, one individual wrote: "I was able to try this yesterday in my local lindt outlet shop and OMG it was utterly delicious so buttery smooth but also had crunchy bits in it for the shortbread part."

"I got a box today," added another.
