CADBURY fans are shocked to notice an unexpected product not sold in the UK hanging about on B&M shelves.
The 5 Star Mini Treats are a rare Cadbury product currently selling in the superstore which is usually found only in other parts of the world.
In fact, the places where you can typically get the treat are India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, South Africa, the Philippines and Egypt.
The “family pack” bags are now appearing in B&Ms for £2 which is a similar price to its other UK Cadbury sharing products.
One shopper took to Facebook to share a photo of their discovery on the New Foods UK Group.
A person commented: “This looks good.”
Another said: “Right B&M are just aiming to take all my money!”
While a third user wrote: “I wonder what these taste like.”
And a fourth added: “Ooh they look like Wispa Golds but with more caramel.”
In other countries the chocolate usually comes in 15g mini-bars, 45g standard bars or the 150g sharing bags available in B&M.
It is described as a “caramel and nougat” mix covered with “smooth chocolate“.
B&M is yet to show the product on it’s website, meaning it may only be available for a limited time.
It’s also not available in any other UK stores as this moment in time.
Those wishing to try the product should run to their local B&M which they can find using the store locator tool on its website.
Bear in mind that it may not be available in all stores, but if it is, you’ll find it with all the other Cadbury products in the chocolate aisle.
Prices may also vary between sites, so be mindful of how much you’re spending for the amount of chocolate you’re getting.
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.
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.
