A RARE Cadbury’s chocolate bar has made a return just in time for Christmas much to the delight of shoppers.
The confectionery giant has brought back its Dairy Milk Mint Crisp bar for shoppers to enjoy as the nights draw in.
It forms part of the sweet makers’ new Christmas range which also includes a retro selection box.
Cadbury‘s confirmed earlier this year that the minty treat had been axed from shelves and it had “no plans to reintroduce it”.
It came after nostalgic shoppers made calls for Cadbury‘s to bring back the retro snack.
Taking to X, formally known as Twitter, one said: “@CadburyUK @DairyMilkIn When will we get these bad boys back?
“They are very much missed #chocolate #dairymilk.”
But Cadbury quickly crushed their dreams, providing this statement.
They said: “We understand your love for this product, but currently, there are no plans to reintroduce it.
“We do, however, have lots of chocolatey treats to try.”
However, Cadbury’s has appeared to backtrack on that decision with the bar being rolled out to stores over the festive season.
The bar features Cadbury’s classic milk chocolate and it is filled with crispy mint pieces.
Its Winter Mint Crisp bar has already landed on shelves, with Tesco charging £4.50 for a 360g bar.
You can get it for £4 if you have a Tesco Clubcard.
It is also on offer at supermarket Asda for £4.
The news has delighted shoppers, with one saying their mouth is “just watering thinking about it”.
While another said they needed to stock up.
Shoppers have already spotted lots of the manufacturer’s Christmas treats on supermarket shelves in recent weeks.
This includes its Dairy Milk Chocolate coins which landed in Asda stores back in August.
The round chocolate treats were discontinued in 2014, but have appeared to be brought back.
It comes as Cadbury’s has relaunched a number of classics to celebrate its 200th anniversary.
This includes the popular 90’s Top Deck bar.
The much-loved bar, which first launched in 1993, has made a return to UK shelves for a limited time.
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 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.
