McVitie’s Club Layers Orange chocolate bar has made its debut from pladis as a biscuit-inspired snack product perfect for helping avid fans of the classic treat to enjoy a new kind of confection experience. The bar starts off with a thick milk chocolate bar that's paired with multiple layers of crispy wafers, sandwiched with an orange-flavored cream. The chocolate bar is launching as a SPAR exclusive for the first three weeks before rolling out to additional retailers thereafter.
Brand Manager, pladis UK&I Olivia Haley commented on McVitie’s Club Layers Orange chocolate bar saying, "There is currently no Chocolate & Orange single serve wafer bar in market, so we’ll be driving differentiation with the launch of McVitie’s Club Layers Orange, as well as bringing category value by launching such a famous and much-loved name into the confectionery category for the first time."
