TWO new treats are set to hit stores in a matter of days from a giant of the chocolate industry.
Just hours after Christmas ends, shoppers will be able to look forward to the next religious celebration.
From Boxing Day onwards, Mars is releasing two Easter-themed chocolate treats.
They are the Galaxy Minstrels Mini Eggs and the M&M’s Choco Eggs.
Both are described as “crispy” chocolate eggs with the M&M ones coming individually wrapped in the 72g packet.
Meanwhile, the crispy-shelled Galaxy chocolate eggs come in an 80g bag.
Shoppers will be able to get them from most major UK retailers from Boxing Day onwards.
The M&M’s milk chocolate eggs are already available from Iceland for just £1.50.
One shopper has said that they have already been spotted in B&M as well.
News of the new products announced on the Facebook page Snack News & Reviews saw a mixed reaction from shoppers.
“Christmas is not here yet,” one wrote in the comments.
“We haven’t even celebrated Jesus’ birthday yet and you’ve tagged us in this. look banging tho,” another said.
Meanwhile, many are excited to get their hands on the new products.
“Look at the Minstrel mini eggs!” one wrote while tagging a loved one.
“I want to try them,” another added.
“OMG! Yes!” a third said.
Mars is not the only chocolate company getting Brits in the mood for Easter.
The Sun has also reported that Mini Eggs are now available in giant 1kg bags.
Right now, the main place to grab yourself one of these huge bags of Mini Eggs is from Cadbury themselves.
But, they have also been spotted at B&M for £14.
The chocolatiers are charging £15 for a 1kg bag, making B&M the cheapest place for Brits to celebrate a bit of Easter at Christmas.
Another move that has recently delighted chocoholics is the return of a Cadbury’s favourite.
Cadbury’s Caramilk Crunchie Bites have been spotted back on shelves in time for Christmas.
The rare find was posted on the popular foodie Facebook page NewsfoodUK after a shopper visited B&M.
