B&M shoppers rush to buy ‘delicious' new twist on classic childhood sweet
B&M shoppers are racing to buy new sweets that's are a 'delicious' twist on a childhood classic.
Sweet-toothed fans say the limited Rowntree sweet is 'delish'.

The budget retailer has just dropped Rowntree's Squidgers – a new chewy version of the iconic Jelly Tots and Fruit Pastilles.
Fans spotted them in B&M stores for just £1.25 a pack.
The Jelly Tots Squidgers and Fruit Pastilles Squidgers are flying off shelves, with shoppers rushing to snap them up.
One excited fan said: 'They sound so nice – I need to try these!'
Another gushed: 'Saw them in B&M, they're so yum.'
Made with fruit juice and no artificial colours, the treats come with a softer, squidgier texture than the originals, giving your childhood faves a tasty update.
But there's a catch – B&M is the only place stocking them right now, and they're not available online, so you'll need to head in-store to bag a pack.
Sweet fans are already racing to their local branches to hunt them down, with many calling them the 'perfect snack' for summer.
If you want to try them yourself, it's worth ringing your nearest B&M before making the trip to check they've got them in stock.
So if you're after a chewy, fruity throwback with a modern twist, these Squidgers might just be your next go-to treat.
I wasn't going to fork out for a Labubu so nabbed a budget alternative from B&M instead - it's SO much cuter too
New sweet treats
Its comes as Aldi announced the launch of its own version of the wildly popular Dubai-style chocolate bar.
The indulgent treat features layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, all encased in smooth milk chocolate.
The luxurious chocolate bar will be hitting UK shelves later this month, retailing at £3.99.
Meanwhile, shoppers have been going wild over after a beloved Quality Street dessert returned to supermarket shelves.
The Toffee Penny pudding was spotted at Iceland stores this week.
Elsewhere, chocoholics spotted a rare Cadbury treat from overseas on B&M shelves.
The 5 Star Mini Treats - a caramel-packed favourite usually found in far-flung places like India, Brazil and South Africa – are now being sold for just £2 in UK stores.
Plus, shoppers have discovered a brand new kinder bar as part of Tesco's meal deal offer.
The new snack features a crispy wafer layered with smooth milky and cocoa-hazelnut creams, wrapped in milk chocolate and topped with biscuit crumbs.
It's quickly becoming a fan favourite, thanks to its indulgent flavour and affordable price.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen.
Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.

Calvin Harris 'turns quiet Cotswolds village into Calvin Country with £15m property spree where he plans to set up home with TV presenter wife Vick Hope'
Calvin Harris has reportedly transformed a sleepy Gloucestershire village into his own multi-million-pound countryside empire snapping up homes left, right and centre. The Scottish hitmaker, 41, worth an eye-watering £250million, is set to move into a stunning new five-bed mansion with his pregnant wife, Countryfile and Radio 1 presenter Vick Hope, later this summer. But he hasn't stopped there, as Calvin has also reportedly bought two neighbouring homes and is eyeing up a third, bringing his total spend in the area to an estimated £15million. One local told The Sun: 'Building work there finally finished, for now, last week and we're expecting Calvin and Vick to move in at the end of the summer after his season playing at clubs in Ibiza has finished. From the road, the house looks amazing. 'No expense seems to have been spared. I am sure they will love living here as a family.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The move mirrors Ed Sheeran 's infamous creation of 'Sheeranville' in Suffolk, with Calvin now following suit by transforming the sleepy village of just 700 people. Another resident said: 'Just like Ed Sheeran, he seems to want to buy up the properties that surround his incredible new house. 'We have had to put up with lots of building work going on, for what seems like years but what has annoyed locals most is that a lovely vineyard has gone.' Alongside the main mansion, originally bought in 2019 for £3.6million, which was flattened and rebuilt from scratch, it is thought Calvin also snapped up a six-bedroom property with a three-acre vineyard for £3.6 million, although he insisted the vines be ripped out. The plush pad, made from classic honey-coloured Cotswold stone, features five bedrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court. Other locals joked that the local pub could be next on his list - and suggested the chart-topper might even treat residents to a DJ set. Calvin, who once worked in a fish factory and stacked shelves at Safeway to buy his first decks, has since topped charts with 11 UK No1s and raked in millions from a Las Vegas residency. Ever since he sold his song catalogue in 2020 for a reported £76million and has invested heavily in property ever since. The new mansion features a series of large ground floor rooms including kitchen, dining room and TV snug. Already the owner of a £12million mansion in LA, a £7.5million London townhouse, and a 138-acre farm in Ibiza, Calvin appears to have found his UK base in the Cotswolds, alongside celebrity neighbours like the Beckhams, Kate Moss, and Jeremy Clarkson. MailOnline have contacted Calvin's representatives for comment. It comes after Vick jetted off to her Ibiza home for her maternity leave after asking the Radio One Big Weekend crowd in Liverpool for baby name ideas last week. The star threw herself open to suggestions while taking to the stage with co-host Jamie Laing, 36. Vick looked sensational as she showcased her blossoming bump in a vibrant figure-hugging maxi dress with a thigh-high split. Chatting with the audience, Jamie said: 'Vick is about to go on maternity leave, and she wants some help with some baby names, so if you can shout some names to me.' As the huge crowd began screaming out suggestions a giggling Vick replied: 'Ok, I got it.' Vick appeared to be having the time of her life at the festival as she took to Instagram with snaps of herself enjoying with co-host Jamie The pair caught some of the Liverpool festival's biggest acts including Mel C's surprise performance with Tom Grennan. She even had a chance to let her hair down in the BBC presenter's raised platform, where she danced with the crew. The mother-to-be also had a chance to catch up with her fellow co-presenters Arielle Free, Greg James and Lauren Layfied. She captioned the snaps: 'Final @bbcradio1 Going Home show with just the two of us for a little while, it's been such an absolute blast! 'Thank you for the love and the laughs these last few months sweet sweet @jamielaing, all the team, and of course our amazing listeners. 'Legends, the lot of ya.' Jamie also sent his good wishes ahead of the momentous occasion and said: 'To the sweetest soul, who goes on maternity leave today - what a blast we've had.' The couple tied the knot in September 2023 and only just announced their impending arrival, choosing to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight. Vick stressed on air that she didn't want to make a big deal out of her pregnancy. She said: 'This is not an announcement, by the way. People keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I'm like, I'm not the King. 'I'll be honest, I struggle with anything that's personal or private. I will tell you a story about eating a kebab out of a bin, that's one thing. 'But there's a line and so I've never been that big on sharing. Particularly because I've just been enjoying this privately and quietly.'

The best wines to buy from M&S this summer
Between the cyber attacks and fashion editors eulogising about the summer collections, M&S has barely been out of the headlines this year. Food sales are strong, but what is going on with M&S wine? Earlier this spring, I went to the retailer's head office in Paddington to taste some 90 samples from its current drinks range and came out with mixed impressions. Here's what I thought. The first point to make is that the bottles you're inexorably bowled towards by in-store displays, especially in travel hubs, aren't the wines that M&S does best, even if it does sell a lot of them. I'm not a fan of the somewhat sickly Bellante Prosecco and not just because the name reminds me of an unprintable insult rather than a character in Handel's opera Almira. The M&S Garganega Pinot Grigio 2024, Italy (£7), which apparently sells by the bucketload, is made by the very good Cantina di Monteforte and is perfectly fine, though rather sweet (it has more than 6g/litre of residual sugar). My tip? If you like pinot grigio, go to Morrisons and buy Gordon Ramsay Pinot Grigio 2024, Italy (11%, Morrisons, £7.50; also Tesco, £8.75 and still worth that price), which is also made by Cantina di Monteforte but which is dry, peachy and delicious. Back at M&S, other classical styles, such as the Corsican Rosé at £8.50 or the Classics No 14 Spanish Albariño (£13), err on the side of anodyne, which is often my experience of wines at M&S tastings. Strangely, perhaps, for a retailer with a reputation for excelling at basics such as plain cotton knickers and men's crew-neck sweaters, the wines that shine at M&S aren't the ones I might usually look for, they're the ones I didn't know I wanted in my life. A new star to look out for is a beautiful white from the Dão and Lafões regions of Portugal with a slightly textured feel, like pear juice mingled with woody herbs and run through with a salty charge of preserved lemon. That's M&S Found Encruzado 2024, Portugal (12.5%, M&S, £8.50), which is due in stores on June 11. It's fresh enough to drink as an aperitif but it does have good backbone and will sit well with food. Snackwise, I'm matching this with paprika Pringles. Dinnerwise, its combination of texture and tang would be good with the fatty succulence of pulled pork, while its citrus and herbal notes work well with rosemary-and-lemon chicken kebabs. The encruzado is part of an M&S range called Found, dedicated to unusual and little-known grapes, and it's under this label that you will find many of the retailer's best wine buys – and I say this as someone extremely wary of novelty for novelty's sake. Among the Found wines I'd recommend are Feteasca Alba (£7.50) from Romania (also due in stores on June 11), orange Verdil from Spain, and Found Kratosija 2024, Macedonia (13%, M&S, £8.50), a vivid, berry-scented unoaked red that is a cracking buy. My theory is that the apparently cautious approach that leaves me wanting more from some M&S wines is a blessing when it comes to grapes that might otherwise be too challenging. Many Found wines take unfamiliar flavours and wrap them into a wine that is interesting enough but, crucially, approachable and good value – the same approach the food hall has taken for many years. That's not to say Found represents the only wines I'd buy from M&S: other star buys include a cava, an English bacchus and a smoky red from South Africa, all of which you'll find recommended below.

Lord's Prayer ‘more recognised than famous Star Wars phrase'
The Lord's Prayer is more widely recognised than one of the most famous phrases from Star Wars, according to a poll. The survey of 2,000 adults, commissioned by the Church of England, also suggested that the prayer is better known than the national anthem and Shakespeare's 'To be, or not to be' line from Hamlet. It found that 80.3 per cent of respondents correctly identified 'Give us this day our daily bread' as being from the prayer, which is also known as the Our Father. The figure is just above the 79.9 per cent who recognised 'May the force be with you' as a recurring phrase in the Star Wars series of science fiction films. Meanwhile, a total of 89 per cent said they had heard of the Lord's Prayer, including 88 per cent of respondents who identified themselves as having no religion. The Archbishop of York, the Rt Rev Stephen Cottrell, said the findings suggested that the prayer continued to 'resonate with people of all faiths and none'. He said: 'These results reflect what we've been hearing across the north of England through our Faith In The North initiative, which invites people to explore the Lord's Prayer. 'In a world of shifting cultures and changing circumstances, the Lord's Prayer remains a steady guide – perhaps never more so than now.' The archbishop added: 'Lines like 'Give us this day our daily bread' speak powerfully to today's challenges, reminding us to seek sufficiency, not excess, and to consider what 'enough' truly means.' Researchers also found that 73 per cent of those polled recognised 'To be, or not to be' from Hamlet, while 63 per cent correctly matched the lines 'Happy and glorious, long to reign over us' to God Save the King. Around one in six identified 'Never in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many to so few' as being from Winston Churchill's wartime speech to MPs in 1940. More than half recognised 'You'll never walk alone' as a line from the song of the same name by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, as popularised by Gerry and the Pacemakers and Liverpool Football Club. The least well-known of the seven extracts presented to respondents was 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times' from Charles Dickens 's A Tale of Two Cities, which was only matched by 39 per cent. Polling firm Savanta carried out the survey between May 23 and 26 on behalf of the Church.
