A "special" new Christmas-themed Tony's Chocolonely chocolate bar has been released in supermarkets across the UK, just in time for the festive season.

Tony's is already responsible for a range of popular chocolate bar flavours including milk caramel sea salt, dark milk pretzel toffee and dark milk brownie - which is a collaboration with popular ice cream company Ben & Jerry's.

The confectionery company has already added a new flavour to its range in 2024.

Eagle-eyed shoppers spotted the new Tony's Chocolonely Everything Bar in Tesco earlier this year.
