The treat first launched in 2003 but was taken off shelves back in 2014.
The spin on the classic milk chocolate Maltesers was originally launched as a seasonal product but was made permanent due to its popularity.
The clamour to see the white chocolates back got so loud a petition was started in 2017 calling for their return.

It comes as Cadbury launches a new Dairy Milk flavour bar in the UK this month - Dairy Milk Iced Latte.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand -
if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around
- if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers
- supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars
- most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

I've fallen for my work-wife after amazing sex – but she's still married to controlling man
I wanted to take things further and develop our relationship but now we are back on purely professional terms DEAR DEIDRE I've fallen for my work-wife after amazing sex – but she's still married to controlling man DEAR DEIDRE: SEX with my work-wife is amazing. I've fallen for her even though she's booked a cruise with her much older, controlling husband. I'm a male executive assistant to a woman of 45. She is beautiful and I fancied her as soon as I met her at my interview. Our relationship was purely professional, with me organising her diary and travel and sometimes doing personal errands for her. I'd worked for her for more than two years when she finally let her guard down and admitted her husband is a bully. He's 61 and minted, according to my colleagues, after selling his dotcom business for a ton of money. I'm 28 and things changed when I ran into my boss while on a night out with my mates. She told me that she had lost her friends, who she'd been with in a wine bar. We were both pretty drunk when I went with her to try to find her mates, but we couldn't locate them anywhere. We walked towards my flat so I could order her a taxi from there but when we got into the hall, she stumbled into me and we ended up kissing. I took her into my bedroom where we had passionate sex. She said she had thoroughly enjoyed having sex with 'a young body'. I'd never been with somebody who took the lead and she really knew how to turn me on. I thought things would all change when we were back together at work. I wanted to take things further and develop our relationship but now we are back on purely professional terms. Her holiday with her husband starts with a flight to Bermuda, then a three-week cruise. I'm going to miss her so much. Dear Deidre on relationships, jealousy and envy DEIDRE SAYS: I've no doubt your feelings are real but this is lust, not love. You're at different life stages too. You're taking a gamble having a fling with your boss. The company may frown upon this sort of relationship so, in the cold light of day, she may have realised that she's walking a dangerous line. Her marriage may be unhappy but it doesn't mean she's ready to walk out on it. She's got too much to lose so she's treating this night of passion as a one-off. Keep your integrity (and your job!) and move on. My support pack called Finding The Love Of Your Life may help you. Get in touch with Deidre Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays. Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. SCARED TO TELL NEW DATE I'M A DAD DEAR DEIDRE: I'M enjoying dating a lovely woman who is just my type, but I'm not sure whether to tell her that I'm a dad to a three-year-old boy. My son lives with his mother. She and I had a one-night stand and he was the product. Still, I like to think that I am a good dad and I see him every week. My new date is 26 and she works in IT. I'm 29 and I'm a football coach. We met at a mutual friend's party. I really like her but the longer things go on and I don't say anything, I feel as if I'm lying about a huge part of my life. In my experience, if I tell dates about my son, they often avoid seeing me again. DEIDRE SAYS: The positive thing is you're being the best dad you can be. For anyone who would like a family of their own some day, that is an attractive proposition. OK, so you don't need to divulge every detail about yourself on the first date but if you really like this girl, ask her to go out with you somewhere, for a walk or for a coffee, and tell her there's something important you need to tell her. She may be imagining the worst but you can reassure her it's something you feel she should know about you because you really like her. Tell her you were waiting to see whether you thought the relationship had legs. Good luck. FIANCE GOT A LOAN TO BUY SHARE IN A RACEHORSE DEAR DEIDRE: MY fiance has taken out a pay-day loan to buy a share in a racehorse as part of a syndicate with his loser pub-mates. We've been together for four years and are both 31. He told me from the start that he was rubbish with money. We manage OK but he gives me a portion of his money when he gets paid, then I pay the bills, or we'd be in a right mess. But the landlord from the pub knocked on the door and handed me the paperwork for the horse, and told me the lads had all got these loans. I've put the papers to one side for now until I can tackle my fiance about it. I don't know where to start. DEIDRE SAYS: I'd tackle him sooner rather than later. You've not been snooping but can legitimately ask him to explain himself because you have been handed the paperwork. If he's not planning to pay off this loan immediately, the interest can be hideously expensive. Ask him why he's spending money he doesn't have. Is there a pattern to it? Sometimes it can be linked to depression, where the spending gives you that short-term thrill. If this is the case, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy may help. My support pack How Counselling Can Help explains more. My Family Finances pack may help him see you're both responsible for bills. MY ADDICTION IS OUT OF CONTROL DEAR DEIDRE: MY life is spiralling out of control with an alcohol and painkiller addiction and yet my wife doesn't seem to notice. I'm a man of 37. I've got a beautiful family and a great job but I started taking prescription painkillers after getting a knee injury playing football. I needed an operation so while I waited for the surgery date, I was on painkillers 24/7. After the operation, my doctor didn't renew my prescription. My knee felt better but my addiction didn't stop – I started buying my own painkillers over the counter and I've been taking eight at a time, up to three times a day. I love the feeling it gives me. I've also started to drink two bottles of wine a night. I work from home so it starts before my wife gets in from the office. She is oblivious to how much I drink. I'm putting on weight and generally feeling rubbish about myself. We are going on holiday soon. My wife is bound to find out then. How can I stop? DEIDRE SAYS: You've been brave contacting me for help and you're bound to be feeling sick. The high levels of opiates will be doing terrible harm to your body – and the alcohol is making it even worse. Find a quiet moment to confide in your wife and explain that you've not been transparent with her. Tell her you're struggling and you need a doctor's appointment and ask that she goes with you. Let's hope thaft she's supportive and ensures that you keep that appointment. You'll need to be honest with the doctor and get a check-up at the very least to be certain there's no lasting damage. You can both find support in how you can best break the cycle by talking with the counsellors at

Kellogg's brings new cereal to the UK that shoppers say is just like discontinued favourite
KELLOGG's has brought a new cereal to the UK that shoppers have said is just like a discontinued favourite. Shoppers have spotted packs of Kellogg's Smacks on shelves at Morrisons for £2.50. 1 A savvy shopper spotted the new cereal on shelves at Morrisons for £2.50 a pack Credit: Snack Reviews The sweetened puff wheat cereal is already popular in the US but it's now made it across the pond. It's described as a classic crunchy breakfast cereal with a honey-sweet taste. But shoppers have also pointed out that it looks very similar to a popular discontinued cereal. A picture of the new cereal was shared on the Facebook group Snack Reviews and hundreds of people were commenting on it. More on discontinued items SECRET SIGNS How to decode TK Maxx, Costco & Home Bargains' labels to bag the top buys Lots of commenters said how similar the new product looked to Sugar Puffs, which were discontinued in 2014. "Basically sugar puffs then lol," one person said. Another wrote: "Definitely sugar puffs!!" A third added: "They'll always be sugar puffs to me. They're puffed wheat and sugar." Sugar Puffs, which were made by Quaker Oats, were rebranded as Honey Monster Puffs with a new reformulated recipe. The new recipe had less sugar and more honey than the original Sugar Puffs. Rice Krispies brings back 'most requested' flavor for first time in 20 years – but fans will notice a big switch It came as the Government aimed to crack down on sugar content in foods marketed at children. Sugar Puffs had been around for 60 years before they were rebranded. Discontinued items that have made a comeback Brands have started a trend of bringing back popular discontinued items recently. One that got shoppers buzzing was the comeback of White Malteasers, which had been off shelves for 11 years. Customers can now buy a 30g pack for £1.05, 74g pack for £2.50 or a larger 126g sharing bag for £2.95. Meanwhile snack fans have spotted another chocolatey treat on supermarket shelves that's similar to a discontinued Cadbury product. The new Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls are said to resemble Cadbury Tasters, which first launched in 1996. Plus, the nostalgic alcopop Bacardi Breezer has also made a return to stores after being axed in 2015. The fruity alcopops were once a rite of passage for teenagers having their first alcoholic drinks or going clubbing for the first time.
