The latest food and beverage industry news and trend analysis

Nestlé UK & Ireland has announced a significant expansion of its KitKat portfolio with the launch of a new Cookie Dough flavour range. The rollout sees the trending flavour profile applied across multiple formats, from single-serve impulse bars to sharing blocks, designed to capture consumption occasions throughout the day.


The new range combines the brand's signature crispy wafer with a "rich, comforting" cookie dough filling, tapping into the enduring consumer demand for bakery-inspired confectionery.



Multi-Format Commercial Strategy

Unlike limited-time offers (LTOs) often restricted to a single SKU, this launch is a broad-spectrum release covering the brand's core product architecture. This approach allows retailers to merchandise the new flavour across different store zones, from the impulse fixture to the grocery aisle.


The Range Includes:


  • KitKat 4 Finger Cookie Dough: Available in both Single and Multipack formats.

  • KitKat 2 Finger Cookie Dough: Available exclusively in Multipack format (targeting the lunchbox/home snacking occasion).

  • KitKat Sharing Bar: A large-format block designed for the "big night in" occasion.



Stephanie Scales, Marketing Manager for KitKat at Nestlé UK & Ireland, highlighted the mass appeal of the profile: "We’re thrilled to bring this exciting new flavour to our fans. Cookie dough is a much-loved taste and combining it with KitKat’s signature crunch makes for a loaded experience."


The range is available immediately in selected stores, with a full nationwide rollout scheduled for April. Nestlé also hinted at further innovation within this flavour profile to be announced "very soon."



Formula 1 Partnership

The product news follows a period of high visibility for the brand. Last month, KitKat celebrated its status as the Official Chocolate Bar of Formula 1 by unveiling a first-of-its-kind chocolate miniature replica F1 racing car, reinforcing its positioning in the sports marketing arena alongside product innovation.
