Mondelez beats Q2 but shares down on cautious outlook amid cocoa cost pressure
-- Oreo and Cadbury maker Mondelez (NASDAQ:MDLZ) reported second-quarter earnings and revenue ahead of Wall Street estimates, but its full-year forecast was unchanged as surging cocoa costs continue to pressure margins. Company posted adjusted earnings of 73 cents per share for the quarter ended June 30, beating analysts' expectations of 68 cents. Revenue rose to $8.98 billion, above estimates of $8.83 billion. The company reaffirmed its 2025 guidance, expecting about 5% organic net revenue growth and a 10% decline in adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis. It cited "unprecedented cocoa cost inflation" and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, including geopolitical, regulatory, and commodity-related risks. Mondelez continues to expect over $3 billion in free cash flow this year and said currency translation is not expected to impact its 2025 net revenue or earnings outlook. Shares fell about 3% in after-hours trading.

Cadbury fans rush to B&M to try 'amazing' new Dairy Milk flavour
A new, unique Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar with a twist has hit B&M stores around the UK – and chocolate fans are desperate to get their hands on the fresh product There is no feeling like taking a bite of a delicious chocolate bar when you are in need of a pick-me-up or energy boost. Often, with so much choice on the market and new products being released all the time – such as the new Cadbury Bournville flavours – it can be hard to choose which one to go for. While the classics never go amiss, it is always fun to try something new - and fans are buzzing over this new Cadbury flavour. If you are a fan of the Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations bars – known for their jelly popping candy hidden inside the chocolate pieces – you are bound to enjoy this new treat. The new combination contains cola-flavoured jellies and fizzy candy chips, alongside the famous popping candy. The product has been available some time in Australia, but now Brits can get their hands on them, too. In April this year, a large sharing-size bar of the Marvellous Creations Cola Fizz was spotted in B&M. But now, you can get the treats in 50 portions for £1, perfect for when you're on the go or you don't want to share. Popular social media food page, New Foods UK, who always find the latest product drops in stores, shared a snap of the treats on Facebook and Instagram. The post reads: "Dairy Milk Cola Marvellous Creations bars back at B&M stores." "Sounds absolutely amazing," commented one individual. Another said: "Love this very nice." "Omg I need to go B&M," insisted one other. Another observed: "These looks interesting. May have to try." "Oh these look good," added one other. "Chocolate and coke," said another, who loves the flavour combination. Others don't seem as keen, as one said: "I literally shuddered seeing this. a bad way." "Unsure but also need to try," said one divided individual. One other suggested: "Get rid of the jelly bits and just mix the chocolate and popping candy bits with cola which would be much better." One B&M worker issued a warning when the 100g version came into stores, and said: "Work at B&M and just a heads up before people start rushing in and saying to staff 'yeah but it's all over Facebook'; not every store gets stuff in at exactly the same time, like when people see stuff cheap etc not every store especially the smaller ones have it in." In other food news, a nine-year-old who was addicted to Shreddies and McDonald's chicken nuggets from the age of two has overcome his addiction - and it's all thanks to hypnosis. Will you be rushing to get your hands on this new treat? Comment below.

Woman recreates discontinued sweet and savoury Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar
Cadbury is one of the most popular UK chocolate brands but some of its products have been discontinued, so one woman shared her recreation of her 'favourite' bar that is no longer available 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.'

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Bournville have a new selection of flavours on offer The treat is packed with chopped hazelnuts and has a luxurious salted caramel flavouring woven through each piece. An eagle-eyed customer shared a snap of their find with members of the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group. "New Cadbury Bournville bar spotted in Sainsbury's," they wrote on the post. "I love Bournville, I need to try these new bars," one commented. Other members excitedly tagged friends in the post. The £2.20 bar is listed on Sainsbury's website but isn't available to order yet. We've asked Cadbury's owner, Mondelez International, which other stores will stock them and will update once we know more. A spokesperson said: "We're excited to be introducing two delicious new flavours to our Cadbury Bournville range, Salted Caramel and Chopped Hazelnut. "The new products will be available at retailers nationwide from late July and will be a permanent addition to our range." Bournville's new Chopped Hazelnut flavour isn't the only new one to delight sweet-toothed shoppers. There is also a salted caramel flavour and a simple yet delicious dark chocolate. The packaging has also had a huge update, the first Bournville has seen in 50 years. It puts a fresh spin on the iconic red and gold colours and reintroduces the iconic 'B' on each square from Bournville's 1908 debut. Valorie Doeringer, Brand Manager for Cadbury Bournville: "Our first campaign in over fifty years aims to cut through the pretentiousness and complexity often associated with the dark chocolate market and communicates that Cadbury Bournville is an accessible, smooth dark chocolate that everyone can enjoy, without the fuss. "The modernised new look of our range, alongside the introduction of our Salted Caramel and Chopped Hazelnut NPD, help us to drive excitement in the segment, and invite more consumes to discover the smooth taste of Cadbury Bournville.' The launch of the new Bournville bars comes just months after The Sun exclusively revealed Cadbury was bringing out a new Dairy Milk bar. The chocolatier unveiled its Dairy Milk Iced Latte flavour in May, combining classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces. The brand also introduced four limited edition Dairy Milk summer edition bars with packaging that changed colour based on temperature. Shoppers have also been going wild for the limited edition Cadbury Twirl White Dipped that's been landing on shelves. The bars, branded "outstanding" by customers, are similar to the classic milk chocolate Twirl but with a white chocolate coating.
