Iconic Chocolate Bar Resurfaces on Shelves After 2019 Hiatus
Chocolate enthusiasts are celebrating the return of an iconic treat that vanished in 2019. Ferrero’s Kinder Bueno Dark has resurfaced, much to the delight of fans who have awaited its comeback.
History of Kinder Bueno Dark
Kinder Bueno Dark was originally introduced as a limited edition in 2015. The unique twist on the classic candy featured a rich dark chocolate coating instead of the typical milk chocolate. Its popularity led to a wider release in 2016.
Discontinuation and Fan Reactions
In 2019, Ferrero discontinued the darker variant, leaving dedicated fans disappointed. Many expressed their longing for the bar on social media. The ongoing demand seemed to compel Ferrero to reconsider its availability.
Exciting Comeback in 2026
In an unexpected announcement, Ferrero confirmed the return of Kinder Bueno Dark in 2026. The company revealed this news through a playful social media post. They included an image of the chocolate bar along with enthusiastic fan comments. The caption noted, “Persistence is a virtue,” highlighting the influence of consumer requests.
Availability in Stores
The relaunch has been spotted primarily at Tesco locations across the UK. Although it’s not currently listed on the Tesco GB website, it can be found on the Irish site, priced at €1.70 (approximately £1.47).
Consumer Reactions
- Many fans took to the social media comments to express their excitement.
- One user exclaimed, “Omg dark Bueno!!! I need this in my life.”
- Another stated, “The yummiest chocolate ever.”
Remaining Options for Fans
Even during the hiatus of the full-sized bar, chocolate lovers could still enjoy a smaller version. Kinder Bueno Mini Mix bags continued to include mini Kinder Bueno Dark. In addition, fans have alternative options with the original milk chocolate and a newer white chocolate variant. Each contains the signature crispy wafer and creamy hazelnut filling.
This comeback is a reminder of the enduring popularity of Kinder Bueno Dark. Its return not only satisfies nostalgic cravings but also highlights Ferrero’s responsiveness to consumer feedback.
