Chocolate fans say it is 'not a want but a need' after being left mesmerised by Lindt's new, creamy chocolate milkshakes available to enjoy this spring and summer

Lindor launched a salted caramel version in 2020 and expanded the pick & mix offering permanently into more than 100 Sainsbury’s stores
A strong performance in the UK helped Lindt offset declines across the world as the coronavirus pandemic disrupted several areas of the Swiss confectionery giant’s business.
Organic revenues sank by 6.1% to CHF 4.1bn (£3.2bn) in 2020 as the group’s global network of shops were forced to close temporarily and saw lower footfall when allowed to open, with the important trading periods of Easter and Christmas also suffering.
The foodservice business in North America also took a hit, as did the group’s travel retail division and sales in countries more reliant on tourism, such as Italy and Austria.
