B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've ‘never seen' before selling for £1
It comes as other unusual Snickers flavours have been spotted at the discount retailer RARE TREAT B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've 'never seen' before selling for £1 B&M shoppers have spotted a rare flavour of Snickers selling for £1. Customers were surprised to see coffee flavoured versions of the classic chocolate stocked on the shelves of the bargain store. 3 Coffee flavoured Snickers bars Credit: Facebook 3 The bars were spotted at B&M for £1 Credit: Instagram/@newsfoodsuk Posting on the Facebook group Food Finds UK Official, a user wrote: "Not sure if these are new, but in B&M and I've never seen this flavour!" One user wrote: "I've been meaning to check out B&M for ages now and this might just be the push I need to go." Another added: "Imported from Australia, I had them over there and so so good I'll need to head to B&M." "I will be trying these," a third wrote. The bar sells for up to £2.99 at online retailers like Bombon and Candy Mail UK - nearly triple its price at B&M. The unusual chocolate bar appears to be a rare find, currently unavailable in other major UK supermarkets. The company Mars Incorporated launched Coffee Snickers back in February, with fans describing it as a bittersweet twist on their classic peanut, caramel and chocolate combo. The controversial new flavour comes after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes. Shoppers learned of the release through NewfoodsUK on Instagram. The bar divided opinions with one user calling it a "win-win" and another saying it was "disgusting". YoCrunch Yogurt Recall: Sharp Plastic in Candy Toppers Prompts Nationwide Warning Mars Wrigley Research & Development director Chris Hutton said: 'We know how much Aussies love their coffee, and after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes, we're excited to bring this new twist on Snickers to life. 'Snickers Coffee Flavour is a proudly Australian-made product, formulated by our local team in Ballarat to deliver on both taste and sustainability, and we can't wait for fans to try it.' It comes after B&M shoppers spotted almond flavoured Snickers at the bargain store. The bar, containing almond pieces alongside peanuts, nougat, caramel and milk chocolate, was launched in the US six years ago. But it is not typically sold in the UK, making it an unusual find. Shoppers at B&M also previously spotted a brownie Snickers, which was another hit in the US. The Snickers bar was introduced by Mars, Inc. in 1930 and was named after the Mars family's favourite horse, Snickers. For decades, the bar was sold in the UK and Ireland under the name "Marathon" before being changed to Snickers in 1990. 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 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.

First Nick Clegg lost his seat, now he's on the public-speaking circuit and can't fill them: ANDREW PIERCE
He was once the deputy prime minister but then Sir Nick Clegg led the Lib Dems into the political wilderness at the 2015 General Election before losing his Commons seat two years later. Fortune smiled on him when he moved to Silicon Valley as the PR chief for tech billionaire and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and picked up a salary package north of £10million. Now he's back in Britain – and on the public-speaking circuit. Except the public don't seem willing to listen to him. Media company Intelligence Squared has billed him as being 'at the heart of power for two decades' at an event next month at the 900-seat-capacity Union Chapel in Islington, north London. Such is the woeful response that they've cut ticket prices by 69 per cent and seats are still available. How the mighty fall. Keir hits the right note Is former flautist Sir Keir Starmer delivering a rebuke to disharmonious colleagues when he tells Classic FM? 'As everybody who's ever done music will know you've got to work in a team. You have to play your notes or your instrument at the right time. Got to have eye contact. Those are skills which go way beyond music.' The PM chose Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5, 2nd movement as his favourite piece of music because it's 'what my wife [ Victoria ] walked down the aisle to. Before your wedding day, everyone says it's going to be the best day of your life. And you think, well I'm not sure, what about when Arsenal won the double?' Sensing trouble at home, Starmer stressed: 'A fantastic memory of what was a brilliant day. Better than the double, I'll add, just for when Vic listens in to this.' Former Sun editor David Dinsmore is the new Whitehall communications chief. He never came cheap. The Cabinet Office paid external recruitment consultants alone a whopping £46,000 for finding him. Did no one have Dinsmore's email or phone number? The US vice-president JD Vance and his wife Usha are staying in a sprawling £8,000-a-week Cotswolds mansion near Jeremy Clarkson's celebrated TV farm. It's owned by Johnny and Pippa Hornby who are close friends of David Cameron, the former Tory leader and foreign secretary. Hornby has a business manufacturing electrical components in China and US trade tariffs will be a subject close to his heart. Did Cameron have a hand in the VP's domestic arrangement? Seemingly unashamed of Thames Water's appalling record of raw sewage discharge into rivers, Commander Richard Aylard, a key adviser to the company's chief executive, writes on Linkedin: 'After 21 years in leadership roles with Thames Water, including 15 years as a member of the Executive Leadership Team, I now work on short-term projects and in advisory roles.' No mention by the way of his time with the then Prince Charles when he was sacked as private secretary after advising the heir to the throne to admit to adultery in a TV documentary with Jonathan Dimbleby. Lisa gets a loser badge It wasn't that long ago Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy seemed to be headed for the exit door. And last week, as she announced £88 million worth of investment into youth clubs, she admitted she'd encountered failure before - as young as a Brownie. She told LBC's Nick Ferrari: 'I was a disaster at Brownies. I went there three years - and I only got one badge. That's how bad I was. 'It was the Hostess Badge - and I failed it three times. They made you peel carrots and potatoes and I just couldn't get the hang of it and I couldn't see the point of it. 'Eventually they felt sorry for me, so they just gave me the badge anyway. Not my finest hour.'
