B&M fans go wild for rare Cadbury chocolate with a twist after being discontinued 20 years ago
B&M shoppers have been going wild after spotting a rare Cadbury chocolate bar with a twist on shelves.
Fans were left devastated when the chocolate giant discontinued Dream bars 20 years ago.
But now discount chain B&M has begun selling a new version of the treat, also made by Cadbury.
It has combined both Dream and Marvellous Creations to create a raspberry-flavoured white chocolate bar.
Posting on the Newfoodsuk Facebook page, admins shared a whole selection of new chocolates found in store.
They said: “Loads of new bars of chocolate spotted at B&M Stores.”
Shoppers flocked to the comments, with many drawn to the Dream bar in particular.
One said: “Got this today and it’s good.”
Another wrote: “This is one I want.”
A third commented: “This is lush.”
While a fourth posted: “I NEED this.”
“Omg need to try this,” a fifth declared.
Although one was not as impressed and stated that Cadbury has “ruined” Dream with popping candy.
The bar is made up of Dream white chocolate with raspberry candy chips, jelly pieces and popping candy scattered throughout.
The chocolate appears to only be available in B&M at the moment and is a special edition so likely won’t be around for long.
We have reached out to B&M to find out the price of the bar and will update this story when we hear back.
As B&M doesn’t have an online shop, you’ll need to visit your nearest branch to pick up a bar.
B&M has 600 stores in the UK – use the online store finder to locate your nearest one.
For those of you who don’t remember, Dream bars were made from white chocolate and cocoa butter.
Fans of the much-missed bars were left devastated when the popular treat was axed from shelves by Cadbury just a few years after its launch in 2002.
To help fill the void, Cadbury released a new white chocolate range, suitably called Cadbury White, in July 2019 – but some chocolate lovers say it just isn’t the same as their beloved Dream.
Several years ago, The Sun first spotted Dream bars being sold in B&M on the Instagram page John’s Snack Reviews.
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 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.
More chocolate bargains
It comes as shoppers are racing to stock up on their chocolate treats for Christmas – don’t miss out.
Choc lovers have been left thrilled after discovering a “strange combo” hidden within a new Cadbury’s bar.
Customers have finally started getting their hands on Cadbury‘s new Dairy Milk Pink Lemonade edition which has recently hit some shelves across the globe.
Described as being the classic Dairy Milk chocolate on the outside with a “flowing raspberry lemonade flavoured centre”, the snack is sure to attract chocolate fans.
This means shoppers will be pocketing a 34 per cent discount on the sweet treats and saving £2.05.
Meanwhile, Asda shoppers were delighted after discovering a Cadbury chocolate advent calendar is selling for just 85p in stores.
The deal has been shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargaining Facebook group and users are shocked by the reduced price.
It is a Cadbury Dairy milk advent calendar, containing 24 milk chocolates in various festive shapes.
On the Cadbury website, the calendar sells for £2.25, meaning this Asda bargain is 62% discounted from the original price.
Plus, B&M shoppers are rushing to buy festive chocolate treats that are perfect for kids’ Christmas Eve boxes.
The bargain retailer’s festive selection box has social media users going wild as they plan ahead for Christmas.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Remember you can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.
