'I made DIY Cadbury treat from 2014 with something people didn't expect'
Cadbury chocolate fans know all too well the pain of losing a beloved limited-edition flavour, and even some long-standing classics. But, some resourceful fans are taking matters into their own hands when the chocolate bosses won't by recreating these treats at home.
TikTok user Paige (@paigebakedthat) couldn't hide her disappointment when she said: "You're wrong if you don't agree that Ritz and Dairy Milk brought out the best chocolate bar, but I've had enough of waiting, so I had to make my own. Believe it or not, this chocolate bar got discontinued in 2018, and not a day goes by that I don't think about it."
The keen baker and self-proclaimed 'foodie' confessed that while she's tried similar snacks, "nothing compares" to the original. However, with Ritz crackers and Dairy Milk chocolate readily available on supermarket shelves, she saw no reason why she couldn't whip up the "perfect combination" herself.
Her method was simple - line a muffin tray with paper cases and sandwich melted Dairy Milk between two Ritz crackers. After letting them chill in the fridge, she was ready to enjoy a homemade version of the much-missed treat, reports the Express.
Paige shared how quick and easy it was to make these delights, claiming they hit the spot for "everything [she has] been craving" since Cadbury decided to discontinue the real deal. In a plea that has now taken TikTok by storm, Paige urged Dairy Milk and Ritz to resurrect her "absolute favourite" chocolate bar, but until then, she's happy to settle with her DIY alternative.
A TikTok clip showcasing Paige's unique recipe has racked up over 84,000 views and sparked a flurry of comments, with viewers doing a double-take at her choice of ingredients. One user said: "Not the cheese ones!" while another added: "I think it's supposed to be the salted ones, deffo not the cheese ones!"
A third commented: "I didn't expect the cheesy ritz!" Despite the unconventional mix of cheese and chocolate, Paige stood by her creation, replying: "Honestly, it's still so good!" The culinary experiment won lots of admirers on TikTok with food fans praising the simple yet "genuis" recipe.
Another viewer said: "Omg I'm so glad I've seen this, I thought I was imagining the Ritz dairy milk as nobody knew what I was talking about! I'm so going to make these!" Someone else wrote: "I bet these taste better than the real ones!"
Someone else put: "NEED THESE! Why have I never thought to do this before!" And, another was thrilled: "Omg as a vegan who always wanted to try those bars this is genius. I need to try these with vegan chocolate!"
The Dairy Milk Ritz collaboration, which first appeared on shelves in 2014, featured small rectangular salted Ritz crackers rather than cheese-flavoured ones, unlike Paige's homemade version. Fans were left disheartened when the sharing-sized bar was discontinued in 2018, and Cadbury confirmed on X (then Twitter) that the product had been axed.
The prominent chocolate maker is known for regularly refreshing its product line-up, which often means losing out to some treats to make room for new ones. Recently, shoppers have been treated to unique flavours like Cola Fizz and S'mores, as well as an Iced Latte version.
Yet, the longing for beloved but discontinued favourites never ends. A glance at Cadbury UK's social media reveals that chocoholics have been pining for a comeback of classics such as the Dream, Dairy Milk Crispies, Fuse, and Spira bars to name just a few.
Besides social media, Cadbury also welcomes suggestions directly on their website via a dedicated form. Thanks to fan feedback, several chocolate bars have enjoyed nostalgic comebacks, even it was only temporary, so it's always worth making your case to Cadbury - you might not be alone in your craving!

I'm a stay-at-home mum & begging strangers to pay for my husband to go on holiday with us, they paid his van off too

Speaking on her account, Broke Mums Club, she revealed that her husband had never been on holiday, but was paying for Katlyn and the kids to go on a trip of a lifetime. She said: "I want to give my husband a week to be a dad and not just a provider. "As many of you know, we're going to Disney in March and he was sending me and the kids because the kids are ecstatic about Disney. "But he doesn't think that he's able to pull off taking a week off, missing out on money coming in, and enjoying a week of just pure vacation. So we're gonna do what TikTok does best." She asked her 123,000 followers to watch the full video and like, comment and share so that she could earn from the TikTok creator fund. In just nine days, the mum had raised over £1620, half of what she needed to pay for her husband's Disney ticket and spending money. Creators on TikTok can make money through TikTok's creator fund. TikTok bosses say: "The funds that each creator can earn are worked out by a combination of factors - including the number of views and the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement on the content, as well as making sure content is in line with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. No two creators or videos are the same, and there is no limit to the different kinds of content we will support with the fund. I dreamed of being a doctor growing up… but now I make £5k a WEEK selling my toenail clippings and bed sheets to strangers "The Creator Fund total varies daily and is dependent on the amount of videos published by our community that day - so this will fluctuate based on the amount of content being published." Katlyn also revealed that the day before she began asking for funds to take her husband on holiday, her followers also helped pay off his work van. "My goal is to pay off his pickup truck so he could come home a few extra days a month to spend time with his family," she explained. "This is a reality for most of us stay-at-home mums because living in a one-income household isn't enough." She was able to raise £4,500 to pay off her husband's van and finally shared her secret savings with him. Katlyn said: "Yesterday we revealed to my husband that we made over six thousand dollars for him for his pickup truck. "He said that that was the best birthday present that he's ever gotten and, frankly, he's still in shock." The clip has since gone viral with over 3.7 million views on TikTok and many were quick to comment and help get the mum paid. One person wrote: "Here to support. I feel your situation. I love seeing these kind of videos." Another commented: "This is reality and for families to be able to afford to live and raise children." "I hope you get the money you need," penned a third.

The super tall family who spent £10million just to fit in their house
An exceptionally tall family has found themselves with no other choice but to spend millions to build a house that is big enough for them to fit inside - after years of knocking their heads While some people pray to be taller, for one family their towering height has brought nothing but trouble. Measuring between 6ft 3ins and 6ft 10ins, for the Temeras, even everyday tasks like taking a bath pose problems because they can't fit into a standard size tub. Getting through doorways without banging their heads is a constant annoyance, and taking a shower under a standard-sized head is no mean feat either. Now, the family has decided to take matters into their own hands and build a home they can all fit into, but it won't come cheap at a cost of £10million. Their ability to go the "extra mile" and create a mega-mansion for the whole family is down to daughter Marie's success as a TikTok model who brings in £7.5 million every year. At 6ft 3ins tall, she's a foot taller than the average UK woman. Woman, 25, says boyfriend, 76, is her 'soulmate' and blasts people calling it 'disgusting' 'Brits have work affairs all the time and cheating was the best thing I ever did' Mum Christine, 63, - who stands at 6ft 5 - is a retired 911 operator, and dad Michael, 65, is 6ft 3, and formerly worked as an electrician. The model also has two basketballer brothers, Troy, 27, who stands at 6ft 10in and Shane, 29, who reaches 6ft 9in. Currently, Marie lives in a £1.5 million property in Florida, with her parents living right next door in a £500,000 house that she bought them thanks to her success. But they're so sick of injuring themselves in their unsuitable homes that they're planning to knock both down and build one that is fit for purpose. "We're going the extra mile to make our home more comfortable to live in,' Marie explained 'Our houses are way too small for us because the ceilings are eight feet tall so we're going to knock them down. "We're always touching the door frames, banging our heads, and having to duck," Marie, who has three million followers on Instagram, explains about life in a normal-sized home. "The toilets and showers are too low, we have to crouch down to wash our hair and the baths are too small to lie down in. We're going to have the ceilings and doors as tall as they can go and all the space we need." Marie admits that sometimes things were "pretty hard" financially for the family - she also has two incredibly tall brothers, Troy, 27, and Shane, 29, who are 6ft 10 and 6ft 9 respectively. "We didn't have that much money growing up, so we couldn't afford to make the house bigger like I can now. My brothers would smack their heads going down the stairs every time. "The houses we lived in were from the seventies, so we were hitting our heads on ceilings, and everything was too low, including the toilets and shower heads. We all had that problem growing up. "We are looking forward to having a home where we don't have to hunch, crouch, or worry about hitting our heads every time we walk through a room." The model added, "Dad was an electrician, and he barely made anything. He made £26,000 a year, and my mom was an emergency operator, so she didn't make much more than that. "It was pretty hard, but they did a really good job of giving us everything that we'd ever needed. They just never had any money to buy anything for themselves." However, after decades of her parents putting their children's needs before their own, she is thrilled to be able to return the favour, and create the megamansion for the supersized family that they have always dreamed of. "So they really put us first. It will be nice to do this for them; they deserve it. This is something we've talked about for years, and I'm grateful I can finally make it happen for my family." Marie explains that her family is "happy" about her career and they have been able to retire thanks to the big bucks she is bringing in. 'My family is very grateful and happy for me and my career; they even star in some of my videos on TikTok," she says. The plan is for the whole family of five to move into the custom mansion that Marie will have built, and never knock their heads whilst going about their days again.
