The confectionery company is responsible for a wide range of popular chocolates, including Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs and the classic Dairy Milk.
Cadbury has discontinued several products recently, including:
However, it has not been all bad news for Cadbury fans, who were also treated to the return of several discontinued chocolates in 2024.
Cadbury Coins and the Dairy Milk Mint Crisp chocolate bar, both of which had previously been axed, made a return to UK shelves as part of Cadbury's 2024 Christmas range.
While it's previously discontinued Dairy Milk Marble chocolate bar was also spotted in B&M stores across the country late last year.
Now, another discontinued chocolate, scrapped by Cadbury more than 20 years ago has made a return to stores in the UK.
Cadbury's Dream chocolate bar was first launched in the UK back in 2001.
However, Cadbury discontinued the chocolate just a year later (in 2002), saying the decision was made due to the changing tastes of customers.
But now, the popular chocolate has been spotted in The Range, much to the excitement of fans.
The Dream chocolate bar is one of four to be released by The Range along with Cadbury Top Deck, Mint Crip and Biscuit.
Fans took to social media to share their excitement about the Cadbury chocolates at The Range.
One person, commenting on a Facebook post from Newfoodsuk, said: "Had them all. Amazing."
Another shopper added: "DREAM BARS!!!!"
A third chocolate lover commented: "We need a trip to the range."
Cadbury Dream is still available in countries around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Shoppers believe the version currently available at The Range is from South Africa.

I tried Tesco's new Birthday Cake sandwich

It comes just weeks after a similar "strange" strawberries and cream sandwich from M&S also made headlines. The new Tesco cake is causing a divide, with some shoppers loving it, but others not so much. So I thought I'd bite the birthday cake bullet and buy the new sarnie as part of my meal deal.

The brioche-esque bread featured on the packaging had me hopeful that the sandwich would be a melt-in-the-mouth, Victoria sponge-esque treat. As a hint to what I was in store for, the packaging alluded to a sandwich filled with "full fat soft cheese, seedless strawberry jam, multi-coloured edible sugar decorations and vanilla frosting in brioche style white bread."

There was a slight sugary-sweet aroma to the piece, and I decided it was time to dig into it. Biting into it was a weird experience; the bread was claggy with the jam and heavy with the filling of cheese and icing. I couldn't make heads or tails of it on first bite, to be honest. After eating some more of it, two more bites to be exact, my mind was made up - it was an absolute no from me. Call me a party pooper if you want, but this is one birthday cake that would ruin my celebration. At 515kcal for the sandwich, it packs a calorific punch, and to be honest, I'd rather use those on an actual cake - any actual cake. It just doesn't make sense, and it left me wondering one thing in particular. Why? Just, why?

‘An abomination': Tesco's birthday cake sandwich, tried and tested

It is shaping up to be the summer of the sweet sandwich. First M&S launched its strawberries and cream 'dessert' sarnie, and now Tesco has followed up with a birthday cake sandwich. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the Clubcard, the sandwich apparently took Tesco's development staff nine months to create. The supermarket is showing its confidence in the product by making it available in 1,000 stores for four weeks. Inspired by the Victoria sponge, the £3 sandwich contains cream cheese icing, strawberry jam, rainbow sprinkles and vanilla frosting slapped in a 'brioche-style' bread. Not everyone is impressed when our sandwich arrives. 'The WI are the ultimate arbiters of the Victoria sponge and they'd throw that out in an instant,' scoffs Andrew Baker, a Telegraph editor and author of Cake: A Slice Of British Life. 'A Victoria sponge is a plain sponge, jam and a bit of cream. Cream cheese? Vanilla frosting? Disgusting.' Thankfully, as The Telegraph 's unofficial meal deal correspondent and resident sweet tooth, I am quite used to having my lunch labelled 'disgusting'. I'd never hold an expert opinion against anything I eat, especially when Tesco promises 'an all-time favourite treat, in an all-time favourite deal!' What could possibly go wrong? Unlike the thick wodge M&S presented a few months ago, Tesco's sweet treat is the same size and shape as a regular supermarket sarnie. The brioche-style bread is slightly yellow and springy to the touch, a bit like the bouncy castle at the children's party where this sandwich might feasibly be served. The whole thing looks like an inverted Simpsons' doughnut. The first bite is simultaneously the driest and wettest thing I've ever eaten. That brioche bread has been cunningly formulated to be so dry and tasteless that one can't help but be reminded of every disappointing birthday they've experienced in their adult life. The cream cheese, on the other hand, is of the claggy variety, and the jam far too sweet. The concoction fills your mouth and clogs your senses. I felt like a character in one of those horror movie prequels who ingests some mysterious black goo and finds it consuming from them the inside out. The best part? Surprisingly, the sprinkles, which at least added an interestingly gritty texture. Suffice to say it's nutritionally questionable, and by the time I reached the end I felt I'd been blasted back in time to my sixth birthday party, where I ate so much cake I spent the whole evening throwing up. I wanted water, both to remove the taste and to wash the shame of eating it away. Truly, an abomination. If you find yourself wondering how it could possibly have taken the boffins in Tesco's food labs nine months to create this sandwich, I'd point you to the ingredients list, which contains a lengthy list of ingredients ranging from spirit vinegar to spirulina extract. Yum. Having attended plenty of 30th birthdays recently, I feel hugely qualified when I tell you this is an invite you should turn down with maximum prejudice.
