Others quickly joined the conversation, expressing their eagerness to locate the treat.

One person commented: "Looked for it last week but they didn't have it at ours" while another said: "Where was this please? With the normal chocolate."

Some friends tagged each other, commenting: "I’ll drive us to Morrisons."

However, not everyone is convinced.

Some shoppers were left disappointed, with one bluntly stating: “It’s vile lol, I don’t know what the fuss is about.”

Another added: “Not nice at all, waste of a fiver.”

Despite the mixed reviews, pistachio-flavoured treats remain a huge trend, with desserts and drinks featuring the nut popping up on menus and supermarket shelves across the UK.
