NEW M&S chocolate bar that tastes likes classic Cadbury’s bar arrives on shelves
M&S IS selling a new chocolate bar and shoppers have said it reminds them of a classic Cadbury’s treat.
Fans of the retailer have spotted is new Chocolate Candy Beans, Orange Jellies & Popping Candy Milk Chocolate Bar on shelves.
The 180g treat costs £3.50 and features chocolate candy beans, orange jellies and popping candy.
But many are saying the sugary snack reminds them of one Cadbury‘s chocolate bars.
“New M&S Chocolate Candy Beans, Orange Jellies & Popping Candy Milk Chocolate Bar!,” a post in NewUKFoods said.
“This is amaze, reminds us of a chocolate orange Marvellous Creations Bar.”
Cadbury previously released an Orange Lolly version of its beloved Marvellous Creations range many years ago.
The fruity edition of this treat was thought to be limited edition and released in Australia, so it may not have been sold in UK supermarkets.
British grocers regularly stock the original Cadbury Marvellous Creations bar which features, popping candy jellies and milk chocolate.
But M&S is now offering lovers of popping candy and orange chocolate a chance to try the two flavours combined.
“I would really really like this,” wrote one user.
“I may have accidentally demolished a whole bar earlier,” joked another fan of the sweet.
Shoppers at M&S have spotted a range of new treats on the retailers shelves in recent weeks.
It’s new Big Daddy chocolate bar has proved a hit with customers and gone viral on social media.
The Big Daddy, currently priced at £6.75, is a chunky oversized chocolate bar made with milk and dark chocolate.
It also has a layer of soft caramel with peanut butter and roasted peanut pieces.
The 300g M&S chocolate bar, which serves 10 people and has 537kcal per 100g, has become popular on social media.
In a video review shared on TikTok, Lia said it took her about 10 minutes to find the chocolate bar as it was on the bottom shelf.
The TikToker said: “It kind of just tastes like Snickers, it kind of is just like Snickers.
“Like if you chop this bar into lots of small pieces, that would be a mini Snickers bar.”
Snickers bars have a similar amount of calories compared to The Big Daddy, with 516kcal per 100g of chocolate.
They’re sold in a number of different formats including duo packs, small-size bars, and the standard 48g packaging.
The price of Snickers varies based on the retailer, but currently, it is 80p at Morrisons, 85p at Tesco, and 95p at Sainsbury’s.
Elsewhere, M&S has also brought back its Reversy Percy jellies.
It’s a twist on the original, swapping the gummy ears and foam faces around.
Despite being a beloved pick for many to satisfy their sweet-tooth, M&S pulled it from the shelves 10-years-ago.
But fans are buzzing to see the mouth-watering candy make a comeback.
“Immediately yes,” hailed one on social media, while another urged their pals to “look out for these”.
How to save money on chocolate
CONSUMER reporter Sam Walker explains how to save money on your next chocolate haul…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
