It’s officially a good week for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Galaxy has just launched two brand new chocolate bar flavours, and fans are already rushing to get their hands on them. Here’s everything worth knowing about the company’s latest offerings, including where to find them and what makes them stand out.
Galaxy has launched two new bars.
Galaxy Millionaire Crumble and Galaxy Cinnamon Swirl are the two newest additions to the chocolate brand’s line-up, both featuring the same smooth, creamy chocolate recipe Galaxy is already well known for. Each 160g bar comes packed with flavoured biscuit chunks running through the centre, adding a bit of crunch alongside the classic chocolate taste.
Fans have wasted no time trying them out, sharing pictures and videos across social media within days of spotting the new bars on shelves. The excitement suggests these could genuinely become popular additions to Galaxy’s already well loved range.
You can currently find them at a handful of retailers.
Both new flavours are now available at Iceland and The Food Warehouse, giving fans an easy place to pick them up. They also appear to have made their way into select Spar stores across Scotland, where they’re being sold for £3.39 each.
Since the bars aren’t officially listed as part of Galaxy’s main collection on the Mars website just yet, it’s worth checking your nearest Iceland, Food Warehouse or Spar directly if you’re hoping to try them for yourself.
Early reactions have been genuinely enthusiastic.

One TikTok user who tried the Cinnamon Swirl flavour said he was officially obsessed, admitting he rushed straight to Iceland the moment he heard about the cinnamon flavour, calling the finished bar genuinely brilliant.
Other fans have been just as keen online, with one person writing that the bars need to get in their belly immediately, while another said they couldn’t wait to try the cinnamon option given how much they already love anything cinnamon flavoured. The Millionaire Crumble bar has also caught plenty of attention, with fans commenting on how good it looks even before trying it.
Galaxy has a long history of trying new flavours.
Since first launching back in 1960, Galaxy has grown into one of the UK’s most recognisable chocolate brands, with an already well established range including Minstrels, Galaxy Ripple, Cookie Crumble and Smooth Caramel.
The brand has also introduced plenty of newer flavours over the years too. Galaxy Smooth Orange arrived on shelves in 2021, while a limited edition Chocolate Cookie Crumble spread launched the year before that, showing Galaxy has a fairly consistent habit of experimenting with new products.
It’s not yet clear if these flavours are here to stay.

Right now, there’s no confirmation on whether Millionaire Crumble and Cinnamon Swirl will become permanent fixtures within the Galaxy range, or whether they’ll eventually be discontinued like some past favourites.
Galaxy’s Truffle Celebrations, for example, have been sorely missed by fans since being removed from the brand’s popular sharing tub back in 2011. The mini Twix that replaced them has proven popular in its own right, though plenty of fans still hold out hope for a Truffle comeback one day.
This isn’t the only nostalgic treat making a comeback recently.
Alongside Galaxy’s new launches, several other nostalgic sweets have also been popping back up on shelves lately. Sharing packs of discontinued Opal Fruits have recently been spotted for sale again at Poundland, Home Bargains, and B&M, priced between 95p and £1 depending on the retailer.
The sweets were originally known as Opal Fruits from their 1960 debut before being renamed Starburst back in 1998. A brand representative previously explained that nostalgia continues to genuinely resonate with shoppers, giving people a chance to reconnect with treats they remember fondly from years gone by.
