The vanilla and caramel versions of the Walnut Whip, a cone of milk chocolate with a fondant filling, will go on sale this week under the Nestlé Whip brand, with a mint variant to follow next month. First produced by Duncan’s of Edinburgh in 1910, Nestlé claims one Walnut Whip is eaten every two seconds in the UK. The company has previously offered alternative flavours to the classic vanilla, but all have been topped with half a walnut. “There was a shortage of crop and then there is the additional factor of exchange rates and rising transport costs as well,” she said. Nestlé said walnut fans would still be able to buy single Walnut Whips all year round and six-packs at Christmas.
