Cadbury's ‘best' chocolate that's only sold for a few months each year is back
Cadbury isn't exactly short of chocolate bars, snacks and desserts to satisfy a sweet tooth, but there are a few products we wish they'd add to the permanent line-up.
One of the 'best' items the brand sells is hands down the Creme Egg, which is typically only available for the first few months of the year, launching after Christmas and disappearing after Easter.
Filled with a gooey white and yellow fondant centre, the chocolate egg comes in both milk and white chocolate versions and is an Spring staple. This year it hit supermarket shelves in January, but was axed from supermarkets in the UK at the end of April.
However, if you've been missing the sugary treat, there's good news as it's currently for sale in Costco and unsurprisingly, the wholesale retailer is selling the chocolate in bulk, so you'll definitely be able to get your fix (and then some).
Those with a Costco membership card can head down to their nearest Costco warehouse and grab a box of 48 Cadbury Creme Eggs.
The store is selling boxes of milk chocolate ones and boxes of the white chocolate ones for £19.99 each (£23.98 including VAT).
Many will likely be thrilled to get their hands on the product once again, as they've been hailed as 'the best', 'a classic', 'a childhood favourite' and 'delicious' by Cadbury fans on Reddit.
One person even loved them so much, they rated them a '700/10', which is particularly bold.
There are 29 Costco warehouses around the UK, with discounts on everything from toiletries and groceries to petrol and big-ticket tech.
You can't just walk in and start shopping though. Only certain professions can apply for in-store membership (priced from £33.60 per year).
Alongside business owners, qualifying roles include the likes of local government, banking, medicine, education, or the police.
But even if you don't fall into one of these categories, you may still be able to get in on the savings.
According to MSE, AA, RAC and National Trust Members are also eligible to join at certain locations – including Birmingham, Sheffield and Cardiff.
There is a catch with this kind of membership, though. You can only shop at the location you joined. Once you get the go-ahead, however, all you have to do is show the relevant info at the membership counter and shop 'til you drop.
If Creme Eggs aren't for you, don't worry as Cadbury also has a few new items launching that might be more up your street and these will be available more widely in supermarkets across the UK.
The brand recently announced they'd be launching colour-changing Dairy Milk chocolate bars this summer, as well as a brand new flavour.
A new Iced Latte Dairy Milk will be available in June, which combines smooth coffee cream, biscuit pieces and the classic taste of Cadbury chocolate. More Trending
But what's particularly interesting about this new product isn't the flavours – it's the packaging.
That's because the chocolate bar comes in a temperature-activated packet, which visually transforms when it is chilled.
Yes, that's right, in a somewhat unexpected move, Cadbury is actively encouraging people to put their chocolate bars in the fridge.
In addition to the iced coffee-inspired new chocolate bar, Cadbury will be adding the colour-changing wrappers to regular Dairy Milk chocolate, so there will be four-limited edition bars available as well. These are all part of a range they are calling 'Cadbury Dairy Milk Chilled'.

We reveal the full list of most popular beers with drinkers around the world below CHEERS TO THAT! World's best beer 2025 named beating Budweiser, Guinness and Heineken Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE world's best beer for 2025 has been named and it's beaten Budweiser, Heineken and Guinness.

It comes after the crisp beer, usually served with a lime, recorded double digit sales growth outside of its home market. Its no-alcohol Corona Cero, which became the first beer to sponsor the Olympic Games in Paris last year, also saw a boom in demand. And it is the second year in a row the tipple, owned by drinks giant AB InBev, has come out on top. The light beer, celebrating its 100 year anniversary, trumped Budweiser which came second in the rankings. This was followed by Dutch giant Heineken, Mexican brew Modelo and America's Michelob Ultra, which is a hard find in the UK. Marcel Marcondes, marketing chief at global brewing giant AB InBev, said: "For Corona to be recognised as the most valuable beer brand in the world in the same year the brand is celebrating its 100-year anniversary shows the power of building brands for the long-term." Meanwhile, Kantar CEO Chris Jansen added: "With the right level of investment and strategic focus, brands have huge potential to drive growth for their owners. "Anheuser-Busch InBev is a perfect example of this in action. "Through Corona and their other brands, they have mastered the ability to cut through in the face of changing consumer behaviour." All the beers that have lowered in strength British pub classic Stella Artois came ninth in the ranks, while Guinness was at the bottom of the leader board. It comes after the Irish stout has risen in popularity in recent years. Owner Diageo was forced to ration supplies to pubs in the run-up to Christmas due to increased demand.

How to save money buying alcohol Alcohol can be pricey if you're planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs. It's always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price. Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz. The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter. If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers. Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as or Don't forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too. If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You'll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile. Costs have risen steadily as manufacturers and pubs grapple with higher alcohol taxes, soaring utility bills and increased staffing costs. A new report from the The Morning Advertiser said London now tops the list for the priciest pints, with pub owners charging an average of £6.10. The cost of popular brands in the capital has also climbed, with a pint of Guinness reaching £6.45, Birra Moretti £7.17, and Camden Hells £7.05 since February. And it's not only London feeling the squeeze. The survey revealed that pint prices in the Midlands increased by 5.15% between January and April.

All the retailers hit by recent cyber attacks as two more become latest victims
Marks and Spencers was the first company to get hit back at Easter weekend and now more brands are joining the list. Cyber attacks have taken yet another hit at high-profile retailers as two more well-known brands have become the latest victims to this online crime. Luxury jeweller Cartier and fashion brand North Face have become the latest victims of cyber criminal reign. It has been reported that both Cartier and North Face have revealed that customer data was breached - including email addresses and names. However, the firms did also emphasise that no financial information was taken. The cases of malware hacks has been increasing over the past few months since Marks and Spencers was attacked back in April. As a result, the company had to temporarily shut down their online shopping, which is still yet to reopen more than a month after the attack. This was followed by Co-op being hacked and having to cancel their delivery service. Adidas, Victoria's Secret and Harrods have also joined the list of notable brands that have been victims of cyber criminals. North Face sent an email out to their customers recently informing them that it discovered a "small-scale" attack back in April this year. It went on to say that the hackers targeted the company by using a technique called "credential stuffing", which is when crooks try to use usernames and passwords from another data breach in hopes that customers have reused the same password. It was also noted that some of the hackers may have been able to get access to some shoppers' shipping addresses and purchase history. Those who were affected have been urged to change their passwords. Luxury brand Cartier also sent out an email which informed shoppers that "an unauthorized party gained temporary access to our system" and that the crooks "obtained limited client information". They also said that no passwords or card details were accessed. The firm added: "We contained the issue and have further enhanced the protection of our systems and data." James Hadley, founder of cyber-security company Immersive, has said that cyber attacks are the "harsh reality" of the retail industry. As luxury and high street brands are "overflowing with customer information", he says they are becoming more of an "easy target" for cyber crooks. M&S has still yet to recover properly from the attack in April, with owners saying that their online services are likely to be disrupted until July. Additionally, the company had estimated that this inconvenience will end up costing the company £300million. Within the breach, hackers managed to gain access to a variety of customer personal data, including names, email addresses, postal addresses and dates of birth. Since the incident, Scottish law firm Thompsons Solicitors have filed a multi-million pound class action suit against the company. This was followed by the Co-op and Harrods being forced to shut down their IT systems and restrict their internet access to try and ward off further attacks. On May 2, a Co-op spokesperson revealed ongoing "sustained malicious attempts by hackers to access" their systems. It also said it was "a highly complex situation" following reports that the same cybercriminals had taken responsibility for both breaches. At the same time, Harrods restricted access to their sites following an attempt to gain access to their systems. However, the company was able to keep its stores open and continue their online sales. At the time, a statement from Harrods said: "We recently experienced attempts to gain unauthorised access to some of our systems. "Our seasoned IT security team immediately took proactive steps to keep systems safe and as a result we have restricted internet access at our sites today. "Currently all sites including our Knightsbridge store, H beauty stores and airport stores remain open to welcome customers.

Later on in May, sportswear brand Adidas also disclosed that hackers had been able to steal customers' personal information, which "mainly consisted" of the contact information of people who had been in touch with the help desk. Again, the brand said that passwords and card details, along with other payment data, had not been compromised. On its website, Adidas said: "We remain fully committed to protecting the privacy and security of our consumers, and sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern caused by this incident." Lingerie firm Victoria's Secret was also a victim of a cyber attack, which saw them take down their US website and replace it with a customer notice saying: "Working around the clock to fully restore operations". Some in-store services were also taken down at the time. However, the company's UK website seemed to be unaffected.

Greggs fans gutted as best menu item axed after 9 years
Many have been struggling to find the Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite in their local stores, which was first launched in 2016. It comes as multiple eagle-eyed customers posted on Reddit sharing their concerns that the sandwich had been removed. As someone wrote on the subreddit r/greggsappreciation: 'Chargrill chicken oval bite been taken off the menu? There's a new icon in town 💙 — Greggs (@GreggsOfficial) May 30, 2025 'I've literally checked 5 different greggs locations in the past week and they haven't had the chargrill chicken oval bite in stock. 'They don't even have the little name tag on shelves, are they axing this? It was my favourite since I was wee and i'd be devastated lol.' Social media users were quick to respond as one replied: 'Ye they've got this rubbish roast chick sub instead, sorry to break it to you OP.' To which another commented: 'aw gutted.' This person shared: 'Yes it's been removed from the menu.' 'It's gone,' a third implied. Discontinued UK Sweets/Chocolates This customer joked: 'F*s that was my idea of a healthy option. 2 sausage rolls it is then.' Meanwhile Greggs fans have noticed the Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite has been replaced with the Roast Chicken Salad Roll, which launched in May – a move which has now been confirmed by Greggs to Newsquest. What is Greggs' new Roast Chicken Salad Roll? On the bakery's website it explains: 'Succulent slices of sliced roast chicken breast topped with tomato, cucumber, mixed leaf salad and seasoned mayonnaise in a white and wholemeal roll. 'That's it. That's the whole roll. It's understated, but it packs a punch when it matters the most.' On Reddit, one commented under the original post: 'It's now called roast chicken. It's basically exactly the same. Give it a go!' A second profile said: 'They have replaced it with the roast chicken oval.' Elsewhere on social media, one person even hailed it 'the best sandwich they had'. 'Another one gone that I liked after the beef and Veg pasty what next,' a person said. Someone else who wasn't too happy about the news joined in: 'I'll have to switch up to something else, things will never be the same though. I liked that particular roll.' Yet others didn't seem as bothered as someone posted: 'As long as I can still get me cheese and onion pasty Im Happy.' Also in agreement, this user shared: 'As long as it's not da chicken bake.' Greggs customers demand return of Ham and Cheese Pastry But the axing of the Greggs Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite has prompted customers to debate the menu items they would like to see return, including the Ham and Cheese Pastry. Discussing on social media, one person stated: 'I liked the ham and cheese pastry from years ago.' 'Bring back the ham and cheese pasty! Those were the best,' a second demanded. Recommended reading: Additionally, an account put: 'They need to bring the steak & cheese roll back.' While a profile said: 'Bring back the Jaffa Cake Doughnut…' A Greggs spokesperson said: 'The Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite is taking a well-deserved rest to make room for our brand-new Roast Chicken Salad Roll, which has recently landed in shops.'
