‘I’ll take them all!’ hail B&M shoppers over ‘gorgeous’ new Cadbury treat
CHOCOHOLICS are going wild after a brand new Cadbury’s treat was spotted on the shelves at B&M.
The retailer has recently been stocking the shelves full of different chocolate treats – including Cadbury’s Coated Fruit & Nuts.
A picture of the Cadbury Coated Fruit & Nuts alongside coated peanuts and sultanas were posted to a snack review Facebook page.
So far, it has wracked up thousands of likes, comments and shares with viewers desperate to get their hands on the treats.
Nearly 7,000 overexcited chocolate lovers rushed to the comments, with one telling their friend: “I’ll take them all!”
Another commented: “Need some of these.”
And: “This is a must!”
But others were slightly shocked at the price of the chocolate – despite being in the bargain retailer B&M.
An unhappy shopper commented: “£6 tho?”
Another pointed out: “I was going to say ‘yes please’ to sultanas jar then saw price and size of them!”
Despite what may seem expensive to some, the jars are sharing-sized and are seemingly perfect for the festive season.
The new selection includes various nuts and fruits coated in the delicious Cadbury’s chocolate.
Options include peanuts, almonds, sultanas and hazelnuts.
Cadbury has plenty of other exciting ranges which prop up on shelves every once in a while.
For example, this year a Cadbury’s mint-flavoured twirl appeared on shelves in B&M, originally launched in Australia, and only £1 for four.
There’s also loads of classic fan-favourites making a comeback in time for Christmas, such as the Dairy Milk Chocolate Puds.
For individual pud it costs 75p in Sainsbury’s and just 70p in Waitrose.
You can also buy bags of mini puds for £1.65 in Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Poundland.
And the rare 360g Dairy Milk mint crisp bar has returned to some shelves this year – selling cheapest in Asda for £4.
Other Cadbury Christmas bars which are available in supermarkets this year also include the Dairy Milk Classic Wonderland and Mini Snow Balls edition.
Remember to always compare prices when shopping so you know you’re paying the right amount for what you’re getting.
A great way to do this is via the comparison site Trolley which will show the prices for every store.
You can also visit the Cadbury website to browse all their latest products and launches.
It comes as B&M shoppers also went wild for a new twist on the Dream bar.
Meanwhile, chocolate lovers raved about a new type of M&M – the Candy Popcorn M&M Minis.
Nestle also added a new chocolate to its Quality Street “Favourites Golden Selection” pouch: the Toffee Penny.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the 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.
