Tayto chocolate bars prove popular

Limited edition cheese and onion crisp flavoured chocolate bars have quickly sold out in Ireland.

The unusual chocolate bar flavour, which was developed by Irish snack company Tayto, has proved popular after 100,000 of the calorific treats were purchased.

The bars were created after thousands of fans requested the bizarre flavour on social networking sites, but the rapid sales surprised Eamon Eastwood, CEO of shopping website Taste Ireland.

He told The Herald Sun newspaper: "I couldn't believe the reaction. It went off the Richter scale with almost half a million impressions."
