The popular snack has been reduced in size
Packs of four are still being sold for £1.40, even though bigger packets were sold for the same price a few month prior
Cadbury has faced backlash from customers, especially parents who put the treat in their children's lunch box.
Leaving a review on Tesco's website, one angry parent branded it "shrinkflation in action".
"Apparently these are no longer meant to go in kids lunchboxes any more because there are 5 days in the school week, not 4."
They added: "The price hasn't changed though ."
While another upset customer asked: "When will it stop? Not a happy customer! Same goes for fudge bars."
And a third shopper said: "Same price, fewer bars. Not good."
Cadbury told The Sun changes to product sizes is a "last resort" for the business, blaming "higher input costs" for the change.
They said: "This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges."
It is not the first time Cadbury has reduced the size of its chocolate products.
We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon
Cadbury reduced packs of Freddos from five to four and Cadbury Dairy Milk multipacks were cut from nine bars to seven.
More recently, the brand slashed the size of it's Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks by a third.
Packs of four are being sold for £1.40, even though packs of six cost the same last month.

Founded by Rob Calcraft and Antony Buck, it was ahead of the curve when it came to so-called "clean" beauty.

Struggling iconic car firm ‘asking to delay payments' – after axing hundreds of jobs at UK factory and £4billion losses
It could leave the company owing more money down the line FORK IN THE ROAD Struggling iconic car firm 'asking to delay payments' – after axing hundreds of jobs at UK factory and £4billion losses Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A STRUGGLING car brand has reportedly asked to delay payments to suppliers in a bid to free up funds. The company's new CEO has already confirmed it will be axing hundreds of jobs at a UK factory after reporting £4 billion in losses in the last financial year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Nissan has reportedly asked suppliers if it can delay payments Credit: Getty 3 It comes after 250 job losses at its Sunderland factory Credit: AFP Nissan's Sunderland factory will be axing around 250 jobs as part of a "voluntary leave scheme" which allows employees to choose to leave their role with the company's support. Earlier this year the manufacturer announced 20,000 job losses, seven factory closures and a pause on all post-2026 new car development. It is all part of a restructuring project overseen by CEO Ivan Espinosa after he was appointed in April. Now, Reuters has reported that the major car manufacturer has asked suppliers to allow it to delay payments in an attempt to free up short-term cash. According to a source and emails seen by Reuters, Nissan has asked some suppliers in Britain and the European Union to accept delays in payments. This would give the company more cash on hand at the end of the April-June first quarter. Requests like this are not uncommon as a means of freeing up cash flow. In a statement, Nissan told The Sun: 'As we take quick actions under the Re:Nissan plan, we are leveraging the strong and flexible relationships we have built with our suppliers to ensure financial stability and maintain solid foundations for future success. 'With their full agreement, we have incentivised some of our valued suppliers to collaborate under more flexible payment terms, at no cost to them , in order to support free cash flow. 'As previously communicated, our cash position remains strong. We continue to cooperate with our valued suppliers across our operations, including in the UK, where we are looking forward together to the launch of the all-new Nissan LEAF and the arrival of our new e-POWER technology to Qashqai, the highest-volume car built in Britain.' While the deal could help the company in the short-term, they could be left with more to pay down the line. A source from the company told the reporter that June payments would be delayed until August 15, while some would be pushed until September. New Nissan Leaf tested - it's bigger, better and goes further These delays are not being forced on suppliers, but were sent as requests earlier this month. It is all part of Nissan's attempt to rebuild in light of their financial difficulties. The company hopes to have positive free cash flow by the 2026 financial year. In other emails, a director in the treasury department stated a target of freeing up $150million. Suppliers have allegedly been given two options. They can accept a delayed payment in return for a higher repayment with interest. Or they can be paid on time by HSBC, with Nissan paying the bank back with interest later. Nissan estimated that it could boost free cash flow by up to $59 million by extending payment terms. It comes as another major manufacturer has reported a loss on its Nissan Motor shares. Renault announced today that it will report a loss of about $11.2 billion in the first half after changing the way it accounts for the investment. After a two-decades long partnership, the French carmaker is trying to distance itself from the struggling business. Renault owns 35.7% of the company, and plans to assess changes in its value based on Nissan's share price, with no impact on its net income nor on dividends it pays out. Essentially, they are interested in how much the company is valued at, not its monetary worth.

Britain's best affordable car revealed as ‘fashionable and popular' SUV that ‘give you everything you need'
It looks like a Defender, but costs under £20k MOTOR MONEY Britain's best affordable car revealed as 'fashionable and popular' SUV that 'give you everything you need' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITAIN'S best affordable car has just been revealed – and it's a stylish, rugged SUV that proves budget-friendly doesn't have to mean boring. The Dacia Duster has taken the title of Best Value Car at the 2025 Autocar Awards, impressing judges with its bold looks, practicality, and unbeatable price tag. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Autocar's judges were especially impressed by the Duster's practicality and generous standard kit Credit: PA Praised as both 'fashionable and popular', the Duster is winning over British drivers by delivering 'everything you need' – and nothing you don't. Autocar's expert panel said the SUV stood out in a market full of rising prices, thanks to its smart design, solid build and great value. It might not be the cheapest car on sale – or even the cheapest Dacia – but it offers more for your money than many rivals. Editor Mark Tisshaw said: 'The Dacia Duster capitalises on the seemingly obvious idea of offering buyers everything they need, nothing they don't, and just enough of the things they want.' Far from a bare-bones motor, the Duster has a chunky, confident look with big wheels and an upright stance that leans into its off-roader image. Inside, the dashboard and windscreen design even give off a hint of Land Rover Defender. It comes in four trims – Essential, Expression, Journey and Extreme – with prices starting from just £19,380. There are also three powertrains to choose from, including a hybrid, plus a proper 4x4 option for those needing real off-road ability. Autocar's judges were especially impressed by the Duster's practicality and generous standard kit. Features like touchscreen infotainment, parking sensors, and air-con come as standard on many models – a rarity at this price point. Inside Dacia's £1m desert buggy taking on big boys at the Dakar Rally – with juicy V6 engine and aerospace roll cage Dacia's UK Brand Director, Luke Broad, said: 'Every time the Duster wins an award, it's not just for its incredible value for money, but also for its style and practical design. We give customers everything they need, and nothing they don't, at the very best price.' For drivers who want something tough, roomy and affordable, the Duster is a rare find. The 4x4 version adds 217mm of ground clearance and a clever Terrain Control system with five modes to handle anything from muddy tracks to icy roads. Since launching in the UK in 2013, Dacia has sold over 260,000 cars, with the Duster being one of the brand's biggest hits. It's now the best-selling SUV to private buyers in Europe since 2018 – and one of the most trusted names in value motoring. In a world of rising car prices and overly complicated tech, the Dacia Duster keeps things simple – but never basic. And with the 2025 Best Value Car award under its belt, it's official: Britain's top affordable SUV really does give you everything you need.
