Costco is selling a Kinder Surprise advent calendar for £12
YOU might traditionally associate Kinder Surprise with Easter because of it's egg-shaped treats, but if you love to eat the chocolate all year round then you'll want to check out its new advent calendar this Christmas.
Even better, the "Kinder Surprise and Friends" calendar is available at Costco for the bargain price of £11.98.
Behind 11 of the 24 doors, you will find Kinder Surprise eggs, complete with toys.
There are also eight doors with two Kinder Chocolate Happys behind each of them and five doors that hide a Kinder hollow chocolate figure such as a Santa or a snowman.
So that means there are 32 chocolates to enjoy in total.
The calendar weighs in at 431g in total, is shaped like an egg, and is festively decorated in a snowy scene with Father Christmas and a penguin.
We couldn't see it for sale at any other supermarkets, but if you buy direct from Kinder through Amazon it costs £19.49. That's 63 per cent more than at Costco.

One said: "You NEED to get me one of these if you go please".
Another added: "How good are these, my two would love this".
And a third said: "Haha... these kinds of advent calendar weren’t around when I was little... May have to take a trip myself."
The Sun has emailed Ferrero, which makes Kinder Surprise, to find out if the calendars will be stocked anywhere else in the run up to Christmas and we will update this article when we know more.
