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.

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 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.

Dark chocolate Toblerone to be discontinued in UK due to ‘changing tastes'
Mars Delight, Cadbury Dream and Rowntree's Texan are just some of the once beloved chocolate bars that have been discontinued over the years, and now after almost six decades the dark chocolate Toblerone is joining them in the confectionery graveyard. The triangular-shaped almond-and-honey-laced chocolate bar is a staple of supermarkets and airport duty-free shopping, but will be discontinued in the UK. A spokesperson for Mondelēz, the company that produces Toblerone, said it made the 'difficult decision' to discontinue its 360g dark chocolate bar because of 'changing tastes'. 'While we understand that this may be disappointing for some consumers, we continue to invest in Toblerone,' they added. They did not say whether the product would be discontinued outside the UK. The announcement comes as the UK enters the Easter bank holiday weekend, when chocolate sales usually soar. By Friday afternoon, the bar was out of stock on the Waitrose website as social media users urged people to stock up. The bar is believed to be a portmanteau of the surname of the bar's inventor, Theodor Tobler, and torrone, a toasted-almond nougat confection typical of Christmas traditions in south-western Europe. This is not the first time it has grabbed the headlines. In 2023 Mondelēz said the image of the Matterhorn mountain peak would be removed from Toblerone packaging after some production was moved outside Switzerland. In 2016 it increased the gaps between the triangular chocolate chunks. This is by no means the first time that chocolate connoisseurs have seen their favourite bars removed from supermarket shelves. Last year, Nestlé confirmed that it was 'taking away' Breakaway bars from food production lines. The Swiss food firm said it discontinued the bar because of dwindling sales of the one-time lunch-box staple. Milky Way Crispy Rolls were discontinued in 2022 to the dismay of many but, earlier this year, Mars reintroduced the product and new variations of the chocolate-wafer bar including Bounty and Twix versions. The end of the dark chocolate Toblerone comes as consumers have found a taste for 'Dubai chocolate', a chocolate bar containing a filling of pistachio cream and toasted knafeh, a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made from shredded filo. Lindor recently released its own version of the viral treat, priced at £10 a bar. Lidl has also launched a more affordable take on the nutty chocolate at £4.99 each. Shoppers queued outside Lidl stores around the country to buy one of the supermarket's bars and they reportedly sold out within hours. The news also comes amid rising cocoa prices, which reached a record high in December. The price of chocolate rose by 13.6% in the year to March, according to Office for National Statistics figures. Some consumers have complained about soaring Easter egg prices, with some having risen by as much as 50% compared to last year according to a Which? investigation. Many products have not only gone up in price, but have also shrunk in size. The Which? investigation found that the price of a white chocolate Twix Easter egg from Tesco had increased from £5 to £6 year-on-year. It also shrank from 316g to 258g. In terms of price per 100g, this constitutes a rise of 47%. The consumer group also found that a five-pack of mixed 200g Cadbury Creme Eggs bought at Morrisons had increased from £2.62 last year to £4 this year.
