If the news that the new Salted KitKat caramel and hazelnut bars were about to come out of the shops was not exciting enough, Nestle is now gone and made another big announcement.
The confectionery company revealed that it was going to start producing its popular Matcha Green Tea flavored KitKats in Europe later this month.
Chocolate bars were created in Japan in 2004 and are popular with many chocolate lovers, but they were not available in UK stores before.

If you are used to chocolate and standard wafer snack, this new product may be a shock because of its bright green color.
This unusual hue comes from the main ingredient of the product, green tea matcha powder.
The powder is blended with cocoa butter and white chocolate to create the delicious "sweet and scented" treat.

According to Bloomberg, Nestle manufactures KitKat green tea matcha bars in their Hamburg plant and will then roll them out to eight European countries.
These include Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and Switzerland.
If the chocolate bar is successful, they then extend it to wider areas.
This follows the launch of the famous Ruby chocolate version of Nestlé's four-fingered KitKat, which will appear in retail stores across the country following the incredibly successful launch of Tesco last year.
Alexander von Maillot, global confectionery manager at Nestlé, said: "The launches of KitKat Ruby and KitKat Green Tea are further proof of our commitment to our international confectionery brand.
"We have introduced other innovative flavors and premium products in KitKat, KitKat Chunky and KitKat Senses in recent years and there is still a lot to come."
The new KitKat is one of 350 KitKat varieties currently sold in Japan.
Baked sweet potato, melon, cheese and chestnut are other unusual flavors.
