Rare Cadbury chocolate bars branded ‘yummy’ by fans spotted on B&M shelves
A CADBURY chocolate bar which has been labelled as “yummy” has returned to B&M stores across the UK, to the delight of shoppers.
The retailer has recently been stocking the shelves full of different chocolate treats – including the classic Cherry Ripe from down under.
One eagle-eyed shopper got their hands on one at their local store before spreading the word on social media.
They took to the Facebook group Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK to let others know, writing: “Cadbury Cherry Ripe Bars BACK at B&M.”
One person commented: “Omg haven’t had them since I was last in Australia, thought it was great finding TimTams in Tesco’s but this is even better!!”
Another said: “Ohhh I have never seen these before love cherry chocolate.”
Someone else wrote: “Omg , love these , used to buy them everyday on way to school when I lived in Oz …”
Another person commented: “You can’t beat them best chocolate ever.”
One person added: “My guilty pleasure at the moment absolutely to die for.”
Cadbury’s Cherry Ripe is a popular chocolate bar in Australia which features rich dark chocolate, ripe juicy cherries and moist coconut.
The Sun has reached out to B&M to check the price of the chocolate bar.
You can also buy a pack of two Cherry Ripe on Amazon for £4.99.
The chocolate brand also has plenty of other exciting ranges which prop up shelves every once in a while.
Just last month Cadbury’s Coated Fruit & Nuts were spotted on B&M shelves.
The discounter often imports stock from Down Under to customer fanfare including Dairy Milk Raspberry bars.
These chocolates aren’t usually found in UK shops and so are especially appealing for shoppers – plus for Aussies, they offer a taste of home.
This year a Cadbury’s mint-flavoured twirl also appeared on shelves in B&M, which originally launched in Australia, and only £1 for four.
What other Cadbury’s chocolates are available?
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.
