Asda shoppers on 'red alert' over new £1 Christmas Quality Street item

Asda shoppers have been sent into a frenzy after discovering a new Quality Steet chocolate bar in store.

The £1 sharing chocolate bar arrives just in time for Christmas, and comes in two different flavours. Quality Street fans can enjoy 'The Purple One' and 'Orange Crunch' in chocolate bar form.

Taking to Twitter, Andrew Stuart said: "This is r e d a l e r t that these exist and can be purchased with actual money - 1 whole Great British Pound each to be exact - in Asda Price."

On the official Quality Street website, the product description reads: " Inspired by our iconic sweets, reimagined to create a delicious new way to enjoy Quality Street®, perfect for those cosy nights in.

"‘The Purple One’ - delicious milk chocolate, oozing with runny caramel and sprinkled with a layer of hazelnut pieces. ‘Orange crunch’ - smooth chocolate with an indulgent orange chocolate filling with scrumptious crunchy pieces, adding a crunch to every bite."

Asda shoppers were quick to respond to express their interest in the festive chocolate treat. In reference to the serving sizes being two pieces per serving, Andrew continued: "Also - nothing is perfect, as it features this u n t r u t h on the back. Pure optimism I think."

In response to the tweet, one shopper said: "Did they have the green triangle!?" A second shopper said: "I am slightly envious. Although I have a trip out to make today to go hunting for a Terry's Vegan Orange, which should assist my 1980s Christmas nostalgia."

A third shopper added: "They don't have the green triangle - my absolute downfall [pray emoji]."

This Christmas, Quality Street has also launched a new 'favourites range' which include pouches of just one flavour. Flavours include 'The Purple One', 'Strawberry Delight' and 'Golden Sweet'. Purchase 'The Purple One' sharing bar here and the 'Orange Crunch' sharing bar here.
