Woman recreates discontinued sweet and savoury Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar
There are plenty of chocolate brands in the UK but Cadbury is a firm favourite. It's most known for its classic Dairy Milk bar but it also has some new flavours and limited edition products, including Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte and Cadbury Dairy Milk Biscoff.
Other popular chocolate bars that come under the Cadbury brand are Wispa, Twirl, Crunchie, Freddo and Flake. For celebrations or groups, the company offers gift boxes, like Roses, Heroes and Milk Tray. Cadbury offers chocolates with a range of flavours from caramel to orange to fruit and nut combinations, and sadly over the years some fan favourites have been discontinued with foodies eager to see them return to supermarket shelves.
One example is Cadbury Ritz, a collaboration between the confectionary company and Ritz crackers.
According to Discontinued Snacks, this product came in single 35g bars or a multipack with several bars of this size.
The bar, which was introduced in 2014, looked like small Ritz rectangular crackers coated in Cadbury milk chocolate.
A hobby baker and foodie called Paige loved this sweet treat and shared a video on TikTok creating her own version.
In the clip she declared: '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.'
She added: 'Believe it or not, this chocolate bar got discontinued in 2018 and not a day goes by where I don't think about it.'
Paige said she has tried others that are similar but found nothing comes close to the original Cadbury and Ritz version.
Luckily, she managed to make her own version by sandwiching Ritz crackers in cupcake cases with Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate in the middle for the filling.
Paige melted the chocolate and poured it over the bottom cracker in each cupcake wrapper before adding another cracker on top and then putting the treats in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set and harden.
The foodie remarked they're 'so easy and quick to make with only two ingredients' and shared she is 'obsessed'. She described them as 'everything I have been craving for all these years'.
She also pleaded with Dairy Milk and Ritz to 'please bring that chocolate bar' since it was her 'absolute favourite".
Her TikTok video has attracted thousands of views, likes and more than a hundred comments.
Some viewers disagreed with Paige's choice to use the cheese flavoured Ritz crackers instead of the salted ones but the chocolate-fan revealed in the comments section they were 'honestly still so good".
One user said: 'I didn't expect the cheesy Ritz. I'm down to give it a go, but perhaps I'll just make a couple and do the rest as original.'
A different viewer, who was pleased to see Paige's video, added: '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 thank you!'
A third reported: 'Just made them with my daughters! So good.' Someone else chimed in: 'Omg as a vegan who always wanted to try those bars this is genius. I need to try these with vegan chocolate.'

Love Island fans predict the downfall of Dejon just one week before the final as Harry's brother and Meg's sister both reveal some home truths whilst his own family defend his actions
While Dejon may have been one of the favourites to win the show, viewers are convinced the family and friends episode may have marked his downfall. The Islanders were surprised by the arrival of their loved ones during Monday night's show, as the end of the series nears and all eyes are on the final. One particularly awkward exchange took place between Dejon and his girlfriend Meg's sister, who made no secret of her feeling towards their romance. This was coupled with Harry's brother sharing his own home truths about Dejon, while Dejon's family jumped to his defence over his villa antics. Meg was reunited with her mother Nathalie and older sister Paige earlier, whilst Dejon got to see his mum Demelza and his sister Gene in scenes that aired this evening. Meg's family had concerns over the relationship, Nathalie and Paige immediately grilled Meg's boyfriend Dejon. In awkward scenes, Meg defended Dejon as her mum and sister warned her that she 'lets him away with a lot', as well as branding him a 'player'. Paige also went on to call out how Dejon's recoupling speeches always follow the same pattern. Meg's sister Paige wanted answers, saying to Meg: 'You let him get away with a lot though, why?' Meg was very defensive, insisting that Dejon has stepped up as a partner after the pair went exclusive, then boyfriend and girlfriend. Elsewhere Dejon's mum Demelza had some thoughts for her son saying: 'In the beginning it was like you had verbal diarrhoea. 'No mother needs to hear about your threesomes and how much you looooooove sex. I just wanted to go, "Shut up!"' Dejon's mum added: 'You're a big flirt, didn't know that.' 'You lot just come in to cook me or what?' Dejon stiffly replied, before his sister Gene insisted: 'We've been watching you for the last how many weeks - you need this feedback!' However Dejon's family were generally supportive of his experience and even blamed other members of the villa for his behaviour. Sharing their thoughts on the episode, viewers said: 'Dejon getting called out by literally all the parents, inject it! #LoveIsland'; 'LOOOOL DEJON GOT ZERO RATINGS'; 'Dejon's family being just like him and not checking him on his behaviour to the other girls says everything tbh and instead blaming them'; 'Dejon getting found out by Meg and Harry's family'. Many others were relieved to see Meg's sister give him a piece of her mind after he spent the first few weeks entertaining other women. They said: 'Very glad Meg's sister told her what's what about Dejon! That's something at least. Will it make an impact? Doubt it. I'll be surprised if it does tho'; 'Meg's sister is saying the right things but Dejon's mum is enabling Dejon'; 'Only Meg's older sister has sense'; 'I wish we had Meg's sister in the villa'; 'Meg's sister is clocking but you can't save someone who don't wanna be saved'; 'I actually love the way Meg's sister is not ramping with either of them'; 'Not Meg's mum and sister warning her and Dejon's mother and sister praising him...'; 'Meg's sister clocking Dejon real bad! GET HIM AGAIN FOR ME!'; Many others were relieved to see Meg's sister give him a piece of her mind after he spent the first few weeks entertaining other women Others noted Harry's family warning him about Dejon talking behind his back. They said: 'I'm glad Harry's friend told him about Dejon because he's a snakey man'; 'Harry's family even bringing Dejon's stocks lower down is cracking me up'; "With mates, you crucify them in private and support them in public" This is exactly what the issue was with Dejon. He didn't call out his mate for his moves but instead laughed behind his back with the others'. 'Harry's fam doesn't like Dejon at all also Dejon being stone faced'.

Sydney Sweeney's ‘good jeans' advert isn't racist – it sent stocks surging… could it spell end of woke commercials?
American Eagle has reclaimed its Noughties' selling power thanks to just a few saucy clips starring Sydney Sweeney and some accompanying sexy shots plastered on billboards SYDNEY BROKE WOKE Sydney Sweeney's 'good jeans' advert isn't racist – it sent stocks surging… could it spell end of woke commercials? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEANING over the hood of a classic car, actress Sydney Sweeney smoulders for the cameras. She turns around, leaving the lens to zoom in on her behind, which looks pert in a comfy-fitting pair of denims. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 Sydney Sweeney smoulders for the cameras 9 Sydney oozes sex in comfy-fitting pair of denims 9 Sydney's American Eagle ad netted the clothing company $400million in just one day as its stock soared And the voiceover tell us: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', before the beauty drives off and the brand name American Eagle flashes on the screen. Simple? Yes. Game-changing? Absolutely. There is no doubt Sydney is explicitly selling sex — as well as denims — and she is firmly in the driving seat. Gone is the virtue signalling that underscores so much advertising today. READ MORE ON CELEBS KAN'T KEEP UP Kris Jenner 'storms off' after tense exchange with boyfriend Corey Instead, this new campaign is selling exactly what it says on the tin. Woke messaging, and woke backlash, be damned. The results over the past few days since the ads first dropped have been monumental. With just a few saucy clips and some accompanying sexy shots plastered on billboards across the US, the jeans brand has reclaimed its Noughties' selling power. Indeed, just 24 hours after launching the promos, American Eagle's stock price had surged by ten per cent, netting the clothing company $400million in just one day. It had also reminded us — definitively — that sex sells, and 'woke-vertising' is a thing of the past. In other words, woke is officially broke. The brand's chief marketing officer Craig Brommers has called the campaign their own 'Super Bowl' — which they've timed to coincide with the back-to-school period over the next few months. Hollywood bombshell unrecognizable as she transforms into boxer for new movie – can you guess who? Lapping it up He said: 'We really wanted to cut through in culture. It will signify to our audience that this is something different, unique, special and a big moment for us.' Yet even with all its efforts — including a 20-storey high, 3D billboard in Times Square, a massive social media drive and a 360-degree advert at the Sphere Arena in Las Vegas — the firm could never have foreseen the impact it has made. As well as the massive spike in stock price, elevating it to a $2billion company, it has also drawn a line in the sand when it comes to woke advertising. Granted, the ad did, unsurprisingly, get backlash from some snowflakes and corners of the internet. According to TikTok user Angie, who analyses ads under the handle @vital_media_marketing, the under-lying message of the campaign is inherently problematic as it postures a white woman with blue eyes and blonde hair as being the epitome of 'good genes' (or jeans). Taking to social media, she said that praising Sydney, in this context, makes for 'one of the loudest and most obvious racialised dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while'. Focus on genetics Another TikTok user likened the focus on genetics to '1930s Germany'. Despite the vocal complaints, the proof is in the pudding and, as far as American Eagle is concerned, a ten per cent spike in stock is worth a bit of outrage and protest. After all, this campaign is unabashed and unapologetic in its pursuit, offering us a throwback to 'the good old days' when ads were innuendo-laden, often un-PC and selling sex at all costs. It may not be particularly deep, but it's far more authentic than the performative social, political and cultural lecturing that has been clogging ad campaigns in recent years. Meanwhile, Sydney is once again proving her serious selling power. It is a niche the actress has been carving out over the past year, in addition to her soaring acting credits, and it's one that hinges on her undeniable sex appeal. We really wanted to cut through in culture. It will signify to our audience that this is something different, unique, special and a big moment for us Craig Brommers Make no mistake: this isn't a sexual object who is being exploited for the cameras. Sydney is smouldering, proving to consumers that she is in full control. In another clip for the brand, the 27-year-old wriggles on the floor, filming herself with a hand-held camera. Again, she is playfully selling sex and brands — and consumers — are lapping it up. It's what makes her such hot property, enabling her to keep nabbing critically lauded roles, including her Oscar-tipped turn in the upcoming biopic about boxer Christy Martin, while also marketing her overly sexualised persona. Rather than being cheapened by that persona, though, Sydney's success is rocketing and she has a reputed net worth of $40million, plus she is making companies millions. 9 Sydney tinkers under the car bonnet in jeans ad 9 Sydney is smouldering, proving to consumers that she is in full control According to brand expert Nick Ede, the genius is in Sydney's USP. 'She's a modern-day sex symbol,' he tells us. 'I think what's great about her is she owns herself and she owns the way she looks. 'She's a bit like Sabrina Carpenter. They both own their sexuality, and it's up to them what they push and what they don't push.' The genius is, by knowingly owning her sexuality — and cashing in on it — Sydney is empowering herself, and empowering other women, too. She is also putting her money where her mouth is, having struck a deal with American Eagle where 100 per cent of the profits made on the limited edition 'Sydney Jean' shape will go to the US-based Crisis Text Line, which supports survivors of domestic violence. Surely that is far more worthy than any woke-tinged ad campaign could ever be? She's a modern-day sex symbol. I think what's great about her is she owns herself and she owns the way she looks Nick Ede As Nick explains, Sydney knows full well what she is doing and she is in on the innuendo. It is something she proved earlier this year, following her tongue-in-cheek partnership with soap brand Dr Squatch, which saw her release a range of soap made of her own bathwater. Again, the messaging was overt, unapologetic, cheeky and displayed Sydney's greatest, ahem, assets, with a knowing wink to the camera — while playfully mocking the 'dirty little boys' who lusted after her. It is also something the actress is well versed in after debuting as the hyper-sexualised character Cassie in Euphoria in 2019. She has since learnt the art of capitalising on her sex appeal — last year wearing a T-shirt with a slogan that read: 'Sorry for having great tits and correct opinions'. And judging by her ad campaigns' continued successes, she is clearly striking a chord with punters who have grown increasingly tired of the 'woke' ads all over social media and TV. In the past year, Sydney has also struck million-dollar deals with MiuMiu, HeyDude shoes, Samsung, Ford and clothing firm Dickies, plus make-up deals with Armani, Laneige and Kérastase. Seduce audience The implication is that, with her old-school, sultry branding and her modern self-awareness, she is the ultimate saleswoman. Let's remember, dating back to the Mad Men-style days of the 1960s, advertising has always been aligned to the art of selling sex. It reached its peak in the Eighties and Nineties when — whether you were selling dishwashing liquid, shampoo or chocolate — you were aiming to seduce your audience. Just think of Diet Coke's infamous TV ads, that ran from 1994 to 2013, featuring a gaggle of women lusting after a topless workman to the soundtrack of Etta James' I Just Want To Make Love To You. Or who could forget the orgasmic-sounding commercial for Herbal Essences shampoo in 1998, which featured a woman in the shower oohing and ahhing as she massaged her scalp? 9 Eva Herzigova stopped traffic with her infamous 'Hello Boys' billboard ads for Wonderbra in 1994 9 The sultry Cadbury's Flake ads featured lingering shots of a woman in the bath as she seductively bit down on her chocolate bar 9 Brooke Shields in the 1980 Calvin Klein campaign The suggestive marketing didn't stop there. Indeed, models such as Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss became synonymous with risque ads, as they posed in very little for the likes of Guess and Yves Saint-Laurent's Opium fragrance. While fellow model Eva Herzigova stopped traffic with her infamous 'Hello Boys' billboard ads for Wonderbra in 1994. And we still blush at the thought of those very sultry ads for Cadbury's Flake in the early 1990s, featuring lingering shots of a woman lathering up in the bath, before locking eyes with the audience as she seductively bit down on her chocolate bar. Subtle, it was not. As for jeans, they've always sold something a little dirtier than denim. Think of Brooke Shields' 1980 Calvin Klein campaign which featured her alongside the tagline: ' . . . what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.' Forty-five years later, the world of advertising is back to where it started, with an added level of playful awareness — but it had to take a few detours along the way. In recent years a plethora of brands embraced the so-called 'woke-vertising' of the moment — a trend where a political or cultural lesson emerges as the centrepiece of a frivolous campaign. The intention may have been worthy, but the outcome hasn't always had the positive effect intended, as Jaguar can attest to. Last year, the car firm was mocked over an ad featuring models of different races and genders in bright colours — but no cars. Critics slammed the brand for its 'woke corporate virtue signalling', claiming it had made a gross misstep in trying to stay relevant by over-pandering to PC culture and erasing its identity. Elon Musk weighed in on X, asking the firm: 'Do you sell cars?' Likewise, Pepsi made a faux pas in 2017, with their advert which showed Kendall Jenner giving a smiling police officer a can of the soda amid a race protest. Then there was Ben & Jerry's disastrous 2023 ad campaign, in which the ice cream giant called for the US to return its 'stolen indigenous land'. Consumers were duly dumbfounded by the unsolicited lecture. Amid the 'woke-vertising', it seems brands have lost sight of the point of ad campaigns — to sell a product, not lecture their audience. American Eagle's success should force them to think again.

I swapped injections for ‘Botox in a bottle' that costs less than a tenner – and you can buy it in Boots
A WOMAN has shared the cheap buy that acts like 'Botox' with no injections. Nina, from the UK, took to social media to share the beauty item that many say gets rid of wrinkles overnight. 3 BUY NOW In the clip, she said: "Big claims, but they call this Botox in a bottle. "They launched it on TikTok and it sold out within a week." The TikTok package comes with two products from The Ordinary, their Matrixyl 10% solution and the Argireline. This lightweight Matrixyl serum helps reduce the appearance of static and dynamic wrinkles and helps boost collagen. The Argireline solution lessens facial tension, relaxing and smoothing out skin to get rid of wrinkles. The product costs just £9.20 from Boots and is also available on TikTok shop. "I'm no stranger to Botox, but if you don't want needles in your face, this is definitely a great alternative," she explained. She shared her review on her TikTok account @ justnina_official which went viral with over 5,000 likes. But Nina isn't the only person who loves the Argireline solution. On the Boots website, the product has rave reviews from customers. 4 ways to banish wrinkles WITHOUT Botox or fillers One person wrote: "I have been using this for about 6 months. It has really made a difference in the"11" lines between my brows, they're barely visible now." Another commented: "After just a couple weeks I could see a difference in my forehead! Wonderful product!" "I've been using this product for about a month now and absolutely love the way it makes my skin look and feel. It has definitely softened out my fine lines on my forehead," penned a third. How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources. Meanwhile a fourth said: "This lightweight serum is like Botox in a bottle — no needles needed. I've been using it on my forehead + around the eyes, and the fine lines are noticeably softer." "Such an amazing product. Made my skin so smooth in just 2 weeks. No wonder it's Botox in a bottle,' claimed a fifth
