THOSE without the stomach for regular haggis are in luck – after the world’s first chocolate version was created in time for Burn’s Night.
Scottish butchers Simon Howie wanted to do something special ahead of the big day on January 25 and opted for the limited edition offering.
Available for £5 in most supermarkets, it’s made with a blend of dark chocolate and white choc chips.
Described as a chocolate brownie pudding, it’s suitable for vegetarians and is made to be served as a hot dessert, with ice cream or cream.
Simon Howie said: “As the UK’s number one haggis brand, we wanted to bring the theatre of Burns Night to dessert for the very first time – allowing you to slice open a steaming hot haggis that’s actually a chocolate brownie and white choc chip pudding.
“We know our customers love to kick off Burns Night celebrations with our Haggis Bon Bons and then enjoy our award-winning haggis for the main event, and now they can elevate the evening even more with our brand new chocolate haggis pudding.

“It’s perfect for enjoying as a family.”
The new product has also been branded to pay homage to Cadbury’s ‘Gorilla’ made famous in a 2007 advert.
Simon Howie remade their own version of the iconic promotion to feature a life sized haggis playing the drums to The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond.
