B&M are selling a combination of the Cadbury Dream and Marvellous Creations bars.
The bars contain raspberry flavoured candy chips and jelly pieces, as well as popping candy which is slathered in dream white chocolate.
A Facebook user discovered the snack in her local B&M and took to an online group named Food Finds UK to reveal her discovery.
According to her, the raspberry flavoured snack is on sale for just £2.99 at local B&M stores alongside packs Caramilk Crunchie bites.
Fans of the sweet treats went wild in the comments section of the widely shared post, with some proclaiming that the dream bar is, in fact, a 'dream'.
A second Facebook user posted: 'The original Dream bar is top tier.'
Another shopping sleuth found that B&M are also selling Cadbury Dairy Milk Slices, which come in a mouthwatering shortcake biscuit flavour.
Like the Dream bar, the Dairy Milk snack costs just £2.99.
B&M regularly goes viral for stocking some of the UK's favourite chocolate bars, including a coconut flavour of Aero's popular bubbles bar.
The store even made headlines when it began selling a limited-edition Lion Bars, which have been a perennial favourite for shoppers.
As the weather heats up, B&M has unveiled an incredible garden range which is perfect for the summer.
B&M's three metre sail shade is on sale for £7 and can help give you a reprieve from the intense heat.
It is described as being "perfect shelter for patios, gardens, or other outdoor areas" and can be cleaned easily using a damp wipe.
The shade can be attached to trees, walls, fences and posts using the ropes attached to the product.
When the cool nights roll in, B&M have a solution for the cold too.
The budget store is selling a mesh fire pit for just £8 which is produced by the brand Outdoor Adventure.
Measuring at 42cmx42cmx34cm, the pit can be folded up and easily transported if you are heading to the beach or to a campsite.
I went to B&M for a radiator cover & came out with £230 of furniture for £40 - here's how I nabbed such epic bargains
Unlike many stores, which have been forced to close several of their branches, B&M has gone from strength to strength over recent years.
The chain announced in 2024 that it hoped to open 90 additional shops in 2025 and 2026 as part of an ambitious expansion plan.
However, B&M has had to face competition from rival discount stores which have seen a surge in popularity in recent years.
The Quality Discounts group is opening a store in the busy town of Rayleigh and already has five locations in Essex towns including Halstead, Clacton and Grays.

Meta jumps on big revenue forecast beat, small capex raise
July 30 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab forecast third-quarter revenue well ahead of Wall Street expectations, and raised the lower end of its capital expenses forecast for the year, sending its shares up 10% in extended trading. For the third quarter, Meta said it expected total revenue of $47.5 billion to $50.5 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $46.17 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The company said in a statement that its third-quarter guidance assumed a 1% benefit from a weak dollar. Meta said while it was not providing an outlook for fourth-quarter revenue, the company expected the year-over-year growth rate in the period to be slower than in the third quarter. The social media giant raised the lower end of its annual capital expenditures forecast by $2 billion, driven by its high-stakes push for "superintelligence" in the heated AI race. The Facebook and Instagram parent now expects capital expenditures to be between $66 billion and $72 billion. Training and deploying advanced AI systems remain a capital-intensive endeavor, requiring costly hardware, massive computing resources and top-tier engineering talent. After a lackluster reception for its Llama 4 model that led to staff departures, Meta has tried to revitalize its AI push by sparking a high-stakes talent war that has seen it dole out more than $100 million pay packages to researchers from rival firms. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has pledged to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build massive AI data centers, having shelled out $14.3 billion for a stake in startup Scale AI and poached its 28-year-old billionaire CEO Alexandr Wang. To fund the push, the billionaire founder is leaning on Meta's massive user base as well as AI-powered improvements in content engagement that make it a stable bet for advertisers even in times of economic uncertainty. The social media giant recently introduced an AI-driven image-to-video ad creation tool under its Advantage+ suite, allowing marketers to generate video ads from static images. Instagram, whose Reels product competes with ByteDance's TikTok and YouTube Shorts for ad dollars in the popular short video format, is set to account for more than half of Meta's ad revenue in the U.S. this year, according to research firm eMarketer. Meta has also accelerated efforts to monetize its social media platforms WhatsApp and Threads by integrating ads. The company last month named insider Connor Hayes as head of Threads, a sign it was moving the platform away from Instagram's shadow after leaning on the photo-sharing app for growth.

M&S Celebrates 'Exceptional' Farmers and Growers at the Royal Welsh Show 2025
M&S has honoured 'outstanding' farmers and growers from across the UK at this year's M&S Select Farm Awards, presented at the Royal Welsh Show. The annual awards celebrate the very best of British agriculture, recognising excellence in innovation, sustainability, animal welfare and emerging talent. The retailer said that this year's Royal Welsh Show winners reflect the diversity and dedication of the M&S supply base, spanning fresh produce, beef, lamb, poultry, and dairy farms. Produce Excellence Award: Andrew Green – Herefordshire Andrew Green, a third-generation grower from Herefordshire, has been awarded the Produce Excellence Award for his pioneering work with Flamingo Produce to extend the British Tenderstem Broccoli season. By using careful land selection and smart growing techniques, Andrew delivers the UK's earliest Tenderstem Broccoli three to four weeks ahead of the usual season, and extends availability right through to November, reducing imports and cutting food miles. Andrew said: 'I've always believed the best crops come from knowing your land and trying new ideas. It's great to see British Tenderstem Broccoli in M&S stores earlier and for longer.' Environmental Champion Award: Richard Heady – Buckinghamshire Richard Heady, from Buckinghamshire, has won the Environmental Champion Award for transforming his mixed beef and arable farm through regenerative practices. Supplying M&S through Dunbia, Richard has put soil health, biodiversity and carbon reduction at the heart of daily operations, from zero-till planting and diverse cover crops to wildflower margins and protecting watercourses. Richard said: 'We're proud of our beef, and we want to leave the farm better for the next generation too. It's not about doing one big thing, it's lots of small changes that add up, season after season.' Emerging Talent Award: Robbie Goetz – Devon At just 19, Robbie Goetz from Devon has been awarded the Emerging Talent Award for his work at Tollgate Farm, where he raises higher-welfare Oakham Gold chickens exclusively for M&S through Hook2Sisters. After leaving school at 15, Robbie's practical skills and dedication have seen him progress to Trainee Assistant Farm Manager, helping lead a small team caring for over 210,000 RSPCA Assured birds. Robbie said: 'I didn't know what I wanted to do when I left school, but I found something I care about. I love working at the farm, learning new things and seeing what we can achieve together.' Innovation Award: Don Ford – North Somerset Don Ford, from North Somerset, has scooped the Innovation Award for pioneering lower-carbon, free-range chicken production. His family-run farm supplies M&S through Capestone and has invested in renewable energy, with biomass boilers and solar power, while planting 11,000 hardwood trees and a cider apple orchard for natural bird cover and richer biodiversity. Poultry litter is reused by local farms, creating a closed-loop system and the farm now has the lowest net emissions in Capestone's supply chain. Don said: 'We've always believed a good farm should put back more than it takes out. The trees, the renewables, the way the birds roam, it's all part of showing that proper free-range farming can tread lightly on the planet and still deliver exceptional-quality food.' Royal Countryside Fund Family Farm Award: The Roderick Family – Brecon, Wales The Roderick Family, from Brecon, have received the Royal Countryside Fund Family Farm Award for their commitment to animal welfare, sustainability and succession at Newton Farm. Richard Roderick and his family run two sheep flocks and a 100-head Stabiliser suckler herd supplying beef and lamb to M&S through Dunbia. The farm stands out for its calm, well-handled livestock, thoughtful breeding and careful succession planning, with Richard's son Tudor now fully involved in flock management. Richard said: 'For us, it's simple, if you look after your animals and your land properly, they look after you in return. We're proud to keep that approach alive as a family and it means a lot to have it recognised by M&S and the Royal Countryside Fund.' Welfare Excellence Award: Max Frampton & Toby Wonnacott – Dorset A dedicated Dorset dairy team led by owner Max Frampton and herd manager Toby Wonnacott has won the Welfare Excellence Award for delivering some of the highest cow health and comfort standards in the UK. The herd produces 14,000 litres per cow annually, while keeping mastitis rates at just 2%, compared to a 24% national average, thanks to excellent cubicle design, feed access and healthy youngstock, all cared for by a small, dedicated team. Max said: 'For us, good welfare is just about doing the right thing every day. The cows always come first, this award means a lot to the whole team.' Steve McLean, Head of Agriculture and Fisheries at M&S, said: 'From emerging talent to seasoned innovators, our winners prove that when you care for animals, people and the planet, you can deliver the best food for our customers and a thriving countryside for everyone.' The M&S Select Farm Awards are presented annually at key agricultural shows and honour the network of M&S Select Farmers across the UK.
