Shoppers spot chocolate bar that’s a Kinder Bueno dupe but it has a HUGE twist
SHOPPERS have spotted a new chocolate bar in B&M that’s a Kinder Bueno dupe – but there’s a big twist.
The discount retailer has started selling Nutymax bars which have come all the way from Turkey.
At first glance they look similar to the popular Kinder Buenos, with two fingers of chocolate filled with crispy wafer and a cream filling.
But rather than having a hazelnut filling, they contain pistachio – much like the viral Dubai chocolate bars.
They are selling for 89p for a 44g bar, making them much cheaper than a Kinder Bueno.
For comparison, B&M sells Kinder Buenos for £1.95.
They’re cheapest at £1.75 in Iceland, but this still makes them almost twice the price.
The Nutymax is described online as having a “crispy wafer and abundant cream filling” and “pistachio puree overflowing from the wafer and the whole pistachios inside”.
Popular Instagrammer John’s Snack Reviews shared his thoughts on the bar, giving it a solid 7.5 out of 10.
“The pistachio cream is really decent. Strong nutty cream that tastes like supermarket pistachio spread,” he said.
“However, the thickness of the milk chocolate coating overpowers it so it’s a touch difficult to taste the pistachio until the end.”
Commenters shared their excitement to try the new sweet treat, with one saying: “This sounds like a DREAM!”
Another wrote “Ooooohhhh yum” while a third said they “need it”.
But a different commenter said they had tried the bar in Turkey and it was “disappointing”.
Shoppers seem to be divided as reviewers on grandturkishbazaar.com, which also sells the bar, say they are “the BEST chocolates”.
One person said: “LOVE them so much, great presentation, great packing and flavor perfect, LOVE them so so so much!!”
Another said: “Delicious, never had these before and can’t get them here. Will be ordering more in time.”
What other Kinder Bueno varieties are there?
Of course, this is a dupe rather than a new Kinder Bueno version.
But you can get a couple of Kinder Bueno varieties.
The original version comes with milk chocolate, but there is also a popular white chocolate one.
These cost 75p in Asda or £1 in Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Morrisons.
At Christmas you can also get Kinder Bueno Eggs in an 80g pack.
You can also get Kinder Bueno ice creams, which are £4.94 for a pack of four at Asda.
They’re one penny more expensive at Morrisons, Iceland and Tesco.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
