Launching Milkybar Gold and Yorkie crème desserts

Challenge

Launching the first HFSS compliant crème dessert to market in the UK! Building on the success of the ‘gold chocolate’ trend, Lactalis Nestle Chilled Dairy UK & Ireland required support to launch its Milkybar Gold White Chocolate Caramel Crème Dessert, from the no.1 white chocolate brand in the UK*.  The expansion of its desserts range also marked the first HFSS compliant crème dessert to market in the UK chilled desserts category**, offering consumers the popular taste of Milkybar Gold confectionery, in a creamy white chocolate dessert - at just 91 calories per pot.

And one year later we announced a further expansion of the desserts range, with the launch of Yorkie in chilled dairy.  Combining the signature, creamy milk chocolate flavours of Yorkie confectionery, with a smooth, chilled dessert – at just 92 calories per pot.
