We're sure you'll agree that Christmas isn't Christmas without Quality Street, and now we've just been given an excuse to start enjoying our favourite festive treat all year round, after Nestlé announced the launch of a brand new product...
The chocolate brand is introducing Intrigue Truffles, its first all-new Quality Street product in 85 years. And, it's safe to say we can't wait to get our hands on them.
There are three different options to choose from – Praline, Salted Caramel and Orange – inspired by classic Quality Street flavours and all encased in tasty milk chocolate shells.
The Praline flavour is inspired by the Green Triangle and the Purple One, while the Orange Intrigue truffles pay homage to Quality Street's Orange Crunch and Orange Crème. Meanwhile, the Salted Caramel truffles are reminiscent of the Mackintosh Caramel Toffee, an early forerunner to Quality Street.
Chatting about the new truffles in a release, Quality Street Brand Manager Rebecca Holtsaid said: “Quality Street is a much-loved UK brand; and we know many fans would love to enjoy more of it all year round. That’s why we’ve created a product that will enable consumers to experience Quality Street in a brand-new way.
“With Intrigue, we’ve taken the essence of Quality Street and added a contemporary twist. Intrigue combines classic Quality Street elements such as praline, caramel and fruit, with a delicious truffle centre. Perfect as a gift whatever the occasion, we think this new product is very special indeed. We hope it will delight Quality Street fans as well as introduce new consumers to the brand.”
The Quality Street truffles will set you back £5 a box, with each one containing 20 individually wrapped sweets.
We don't have long to wait before trying them because the new Quality Street Intrigue truffles will be launching in Asda stores across the UK from early March.
