B&M shoppers go wild over ultra rare Cadbury bar spotted on UK shelves
CHOCOLATE lovers are going wild after spotting an ultra-rare Cadbury bar on B&M shelves.
Shoppers are flocking to nab the iconic Australian chocolate bar after it made its way back to the UK supermarkets.
One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the iconic Pinky Bars sitting on the supermarket shelves.
The heavenly dessert consists of caramel and marshmallows which are then coated in a layer of Cadbury Milk Chocolate
The proud shopper then posted the news on Facebook and wrote: “Found these today.”
The post wracked up hundreds of likes and comments with many group members congratulating the savvy shopper.
One shopper said: “Where can I find these?”
While another shared: “They are so nice.”
The popular bar actually has been around in UK supermarkets since May – along with two other chocolate bars that made home from Australia.
B&M took to Facebook to share the exciting range of Australian chocolates it has stocked in stores.
The retailer said: “We’re always on the hunt for new chocolate and sweet treats. We’ve been spoiled with this collection!”
“S’Mores Kit; £3 Pinky; £1 Perky Nana; £1 Cherry Ripe.”
The Aussie favourite Cherry Ripe is a mix of cherries and coconut covered in Cadbury’s rich dark chocolate.
While the cheeky Perky Nana bar is a banana-flavoured chew bar covered with Cadbury dairy milk chocolate.
Of course, whenever buying anything like this, make sure you shop around to see where to get the best deal.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare prices on thousands of products to see which retailer is selling them cheapest.
You can use the Google Shopping/Product tab to quickly scan the internet too.
Meanwhile, B&M fans were seen rushing to the stores to grab chocolate bars selling for a dirt-cheap price.
The bargain retailer seems to be selling boxes of Milky Way crispy rolls for just 16p a piece.
It comes after Mars released two new Maltesers flavours in May last year, the New Maltesers Desserts Tiramisu and the Black Forest Gateau Maltesers.
B&M shoppers went wild for Cadbury’s Honeycomb Sundae Twirls after they were spotted in B&M, previously only available in Australia.
Likewise, the Cadbury Dairy Milk Slices Vanilla Passionfruit was a huge hit when it was spotted on shop shelves.
The news comes just days after Cadbury confirmed it axed the popular Dairy Milk mint crisp bar.
Many fans have been saddened by discontinuations over the years as their favourite chocs disappeared from shops.
Chocolate fans have said goodbye to the “nostalgic” Egg ‘n’ Spoon cartons, iconic Cadbury Caramel bunnies and even the Cadbury Dairy Milk Toffee Popcorn bar.
Iconic chocolates that have left shop shelves
Cadbury’s Dream Chocolate bar: The popular bar was discontinued in 2002, but was relaunched in 2019 under the new name ‘Cadbury White’.
Mars Delight Bar: Although it proved to be a firm favourite by sweet-toothed fans during its four-year stint in shops starting in 2004, by 2008 it was removed from shelves. Fans still long to see the treat make a return.
Nestlé’s Caramac chocolate bar: The one-of-a-kind bar had been in shops for over six decades, but was discontinued last year due to continual slumps in sales.
Milky Way Crispy Rolls: They were pulled from shelves in 2022, and fans were so distraught by the news that a petition was started to bring them back, which currently has more than 8,500 signatures.
White Maltesers: The white chocolate version of the popular snack had a strong run lasting 11 years, but falling sales saw them discontinued in 2014.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Remember you can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.
