Fans of Orange Smarties will be delighted to hear that Nestlé is bringing back their favourite sweets this spring following the overwhelming consumer response to the launch of the Orange Smarties Giant Tube last autumn.
Nestlé announced this week that Hexatubes made up entirely of Orange Smarties are now available in limited edition in Asda and across the wholesale and convenience stores.
What’s more, fans of Orange Smarties can now enjoy their favourite orange treat as an Easter egg which features a delicious orange flavour milk chocolate egg filled with Orange Smarties Mini Eggs inside.
Also brand new this spring are Orange Smarties Mini Eggs which are quite literally, little Orange Smarties chocolate eggs.
Excited fans of the orange goodies have taken to social media to express their excitement about the Easter treat.

If you think orange smarties taste the same as the other colours, you are completely wrong and we are no longer friends xo

Alex Gonnella, Marketing Director for Nestlé’s UK confectionery business at Nestlé said:“Orange Smarties are so popular that we simply had to bring them back this season.
“People love their distinctive flavour and they are our number one consumer request. The giant tubes launched last autumn were sold out in some stores within a few weeks from the launch and we have been inundated with requests from people all over the country asking us whether they could still get hold of some."
Unique to the UK and Ireland, Orange Smarties are the only Smartiesthat have their own flavour - with the shell infused with natural orange oil to give it its distinctive taste and they have been a huge hit.
Fans should move quickly as the limited run is expected to sell out fast so it is worth getting your favourite Easter treats early to avoid disappointment.
