If you're looking to stock up on some sweet treats at a major discount then Cadbury's post-Easter chocolate sale is the place to head to Easter may be over, but the chocolate certainly isn't. If you're keen to bag some sweet deals at a significant discount - think £1 and £2 for bundles - then Cadbury's post-Easter chocolate sale is your destination. From leftover Easter eggs to massive Dairy Milk chocolate bars and favourite bundles starting from just 65p, there's a chocolate treat for everyone, whether it's a self-indulgence or a gift for a loved one. And Cadbury's isn't alone in offering fantastic discounts on surplus chocolate. Lindt also has some remaining discounts on their Easter egg bundles and mini egg packs. There's no current indication of how long these offers will last, so we recommend grabbing them quickly before the Easter chocolate makes way for Christmas treats. One of the best bargains that caught our attention was the Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Chunky Easter Egg (Box of 4). Originally priced at £60, this box of four Easter eggs is now just £28 - a whopping 53% saving, reports OK!. This bundle includes four chunky Cadbury's milk chocolate Easter eggs, one giant milk chocolate Easter egg with an extra thick shell, and one bag of Cadbury's chocolate chunks. Additionally, you can grab the Cadbury White Chocolate Buttons Easter Eggs for just £1, down from £3.29. While the saving might not be massive, these Easter eggs are currently unavailable in supermarkets and you'll have to wait until next Easter if you want to get your hands on the egg. This egg, a fresh addition from Cadbury in 2024, comprises a 98g white chocolate egg filled with Cadbury's white chocolate buttons. Scrumptious. The Cadbury's Easter Favourites Chocolate Pouch, featuring the much-adored mini eggs and creme eggs, is down from £8 to £5, making it an ideal treat for your little ones (or even yourself). For those who don't mind slightly damaged chocolate, Cadbury's has its XL 850g milk chocolate bar on offer, reduced from £11.50 to £8.50. Rest assured, the chocolate is fully sealed and untouched; there might just be minor scuffing or damage to the outer packaging, hence the discount.

Disposable vapes being sold for as little as 29p in ‘crazy' fire sale ahead of ban this weekend
They are being flogged for less than a Cadbury's chocolate Freddo bar — which now costs 30p in supermarkets VAPE MADNESS Disposable vapes being sold for as little as 29p in 'crazy' fire sale ahead of ban this weekend DISPOSABLE vapes are being sold for as little as 29p in a 'crazy' fire sale before they are banned this weekend. It means they are being flogged for less than a Cadbury's chocolate Freddo bar — which now costs 30p in supermarkets. 2 Despite the products being highly addictive, suppliers are not breaking the law by selling the vapes so cheaply Credit: Getty From Sunday it will be illegal to sell single-use e-cigarettes in the UK under new laws to protect kids and reduce landfill. But online sellers are desperate to avoid being stuck with illegal stock with £200 fines looming. One site boasting a 'UK Vape Bargain Blast' is selling Flavaah Bar disposable vapes for 29p each, down from £5. Elf Bars are on sale for 49p each, also down from a fiver. And a packet of 20 e-cigs can cost just £10, which would have been £100 a year ago. Kate Pike, from the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, told The Sun: 'This is crazy. 'We are anticipating a challenging spike in illegal operations and supply during the changeover. 'Shops have been warned and told to run down their stocks and I've seen some unbelievably low prices. 'This is an addictive product and we shouldn't be selling them for these prices, but they aren't doing anything wrong at this stage.' Campaigners We Vape said it showed the new law will create a black market and is 'impossible to enforce'. Disposable vapes will be banned across UK by next summer to stop Britain's kids from getting hooked Ministers have brought in the rule as part of a drive to deter children and teenagers, who often use single-use vapes in fruity flavours, with flavours also set to be banned. They also acted on environmental concerns about huge amounts of plastic and lithium batteries being thrown out, with an estimated one million vapes binned every day.

Americans try Cadbury and compare it to US chocolate – and there's clear winner
Cadbury and Hershey's are two of the biggest chocolate brands in the world, both boasting a rich history and delicious products which have stood the test of time An American couple have issued their verdict on Cadbury chocolate after trying it for the first time, and compared it to a classic US brand. Brianna Sky Morton and her partner relocated from the US to the UK and been spending much of their time tucking into classic British foods to see if they are worth the hype. Recently, after hearing Brits rave about Cadbury chocolate, they decided to conduct a taste test to see if it beats America's Hershey's chocolate. When it comes to food, us Brits don't necessarily have the best reputation. But one thing tourists often love trying while in the UK is our snacks. Brianna has been sharing their honest reviews of British food on her Instagram page since relocating, and her review of one of the nation's favourite chocolate brands has got people talking. Cadbury chocolate tends to offer a richer, smoother flavour due to the high cocoa content, while Hershey's is known for its lighter, sweeter taste as a result of the butyric acid used. Both chocolate companies have a rich history and play a significant role in the chocolate industry. Brianna and her partner tried the Hershey's chocolate bar first, after which she said: "I love Hershey's," however after tucking into a Cadbury's bar, the pair were left stunned. "Wow," Brianna said - and her partner totally agreed. Brianna added: "That is amazing. This blows Hershey's out of the water. Cadbury, oh my goodness." She insisted there is "no going back" to American chocolate after trying the British treat, which has been around since 1824. One commented: "We don't do everything better in England but biscuits and chocolate are good for sure!" "Cadbury is real chocolate," insisted another. One other said: "Nobody does chocolate like UK and France in my opinion. Cadbury rocks." "UK chocolate will always be better than USA chocolate!," agreed one other. One other said: "First time I tried Hershey's I felt so bad for Americans! You guys don't know what chocolate is until you come to Europe!! British chocolate is not even considered good compared to Belgian chocolate!" One other Brit shared their thoughts, and wrote: "Cadbury used to be the UK favourite. Taste slightly changed when the sugar tax was introduced, which led people to criticise its quality. Then Kraft absolutely ruined it. It now tastes cheap and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. I personally haven't purchased it for more than a year now, and will never again." Suggesting what to try next, another commented: "Wait till they get a chocolate orange down them, lives will be changed." "Try a Ripple or a Twirl," suggested one other. Another agreed and noted: "And they haven't even had a Flake yet. Or a Ripple. Life changing." Which chocolate bar would you crown as the winner? Comment below and share your favourite brand.

Shoppers spot new Cadbury chocolate that's just like beloved discontinued snack
CHOCOHOLICS have been sent into a frenzy after spotting a new Cadbury's chocolate that's bringing back memories of a lost favourite. The sweet treat was posted on Facebook's Food Finds UK group, where shoppers quickly clocked the striking resemblance to a nostalgic Cadbury classic. 1 Shoppers have spotted a new chocolate find that resembles Cadbury's Tasters The new chocolate is called Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls and supposedly resembles the discontinued Cadbury Tasters. Tasters first hit stores in 1996 as small, round Dairy Milk chocolates, it resembled a Malteser but without the crunchy centre. Despite their rich flavour, they were quietly axed in the mid-2000s due to slow sales. But clearly, fans never forgot. One user wrote: 'Used to always buy these out the vending machine at school'. READ MORE ON CHOCOLATE Another added: 'They used to be called Cadbury Tasters, I've missed these so much". While a third chimed in: "I can't believe it, I love these so much." One fan pointed out clues on the packaging that suggest they could be Australian imports from the layout of the Dairy Milk logo to the 'milk chocolate' tagline and weight label in the top corner. If that's true, it would make them an even rarer find, especially for Brits who've missed the much-loved Tasters since they vanished from shelves. Most read in Money Shoppers were already sharing their plans to bag these goodies, writing: "I'm heading there straight away, I need these." One shopper said: 'I absolutely loved them. Will have to pop into my local Iceland and see if they have them.' You asked, we delivered' says Irish supermarket as viral chocolate lands in stores but 'they won't last' The new milk chocolate balls are not listed on Iceland's website, meaning they're currently only available in-store. Shoppers can check their The Sun has contacted Iceland to confirm the chocolate's price. Top discontinued products Here are our top discontinued snacks - including picks from our team... Fabulous Bakin' Boys Cupcakes Consumer reporter Emily Mee says: "It was always a good day when I spotted these in my lunch box at school. Putting a layer of chocolate on top of a vanilla cupcake is a simple idea but a genius one. I would pay good money to try these again..." Ready Salted Chipsticks Head of Consumer Tara Evans says: "Ready Salted Chipsticks. Why did they get rid of this classic flavour? Some people think ready salted is boring - but why mess with a classic? I often feel taunted when I see the salt and vinegar version in shops." Coco Pops Rocks Consumer news editor Ellie Smitherman says: "No idea whose bright idea it was to get rid of these, but it was possibly one of the worst moves in cereal history. " Tooti Frooties Senior consumer reporter James Flanders says: "Tooty Frooties were a chewy blast of childhood joy. Scrapped after 50 years, they were Britain's alternative to Skittles - and in an age obsessed with nostalgia, bringing them back just makes sense. Lots of dupes can be picked up at budget supermarkets but they just don't taste the same." White Maltesers While the milk chocolate version is still going strong, White Chocolate Maltesers were pulled from shelves in 2014. Mars said it was a "difficult decision" at the time, and fans still post comments on its social media pages calling for it to come back. Heinz Toast Toppers Out of all the discontinued products, this is one of the ones we see the most calls for to come back. The creamy cans came in a variety of flavours like chicken and mushroom or cheese and ham. They were binned in 2015 after delighting shoppers for decades. Cadbury Spira Another of the regular calls we see is for the Cadbury Spira to return. The chocolate featured twin bars in each pack which were formed into a spiral shape, with six hollow tubes running through each one. Making a comeback The surprise comeback follows a growing trend of supermarkets and snack giants reviving nostalgic favourites. Earlier this year, B&M sent choc-lovers wild after stocking rare Cadbury Cola Fizz Marvellous Creations bars, another Aussie import not sold elsewhere in the UK. And it's not just Cadbury jumping on the nostalgia train. B&M shoppers recently spotted one of the most iconic breakfast treats of the 2000s after 15 long years. The Kellogs Cocoa Krispies Straws made a surprise return to the bargain retailer's shelves, and nostalgic Brits were rushing to snap them up. Mars made headlines after Crispy Rolls returned for a limited time then quietly snuck into Morrisons meal deals, following a wave of public demand and over 8,000 signatures on a petition. 'That's the most demand for a product I've seen in a while,' said Mars chocolate scientist Lizzy. Walkers also Turns out, brands are listening. Both Mars and Walkers confirmed they have teams trawling through social media, keeping tabs on what treats people are craving. Walkers alone say they've had over 60 different flavour requests in just two years. So, while Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls might be new, or newly returned, they could be the latest win for snack nostalgia. And if they really are a Taster by another name, fans will be hoping this time, they're here to stay. 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 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.
