Chocolate lovers across the country have been left both excited and outraged at the announcement of a new limited-edition flavour of Toblerone.The fan-favourite Swiss chocolate brand recently teased their fans with a brand new golden Toblerone bar with a smooth caramel flavour, and it sounds absolutely delicious.

The chocolate bar is so exclusive there is said to be only 5000 of them being made.However, despite being excited over the new flavour, it looks like the brand really believe they are selling a bar of gold, as one 360g bar is priced at a whopping £17.

Considering one regular milk chocolate bar retails at around just £3.50, the new flavour is that bit pricier than usual. Outrage over the rather expensive price-tag was sparked when an announcement of the limited-edition release was shared to the NewFoodsUK Facebook page, reports The Liverpool Echo.
