Rare Cadbury chocolate bar spotted in UK and fans say it's ‘delightful'
A rare Cadbury chocolate bar has been spotted on supermarket shelves across the UK, and fans are calling it 'delightful'. Chocolate lovers spotted the sweet treat exclusively at B&M, and it's being sold for just £1. The snack is a twist on the classic Cadbury Picnic bar, which features a mix of caramel, peanuts, crispy cereal and raisins. But this version, which has been imported from Australia, adds chocolate cookie pieces to the mix and fans have been quick to rave about the concoction online. The Aussie treat was launched Down Under earlier this year. It's described as a 'perfect snack for peanut lovers and cookie fans alike', boasting a 'mouthwatering combination of sweet and salty textures'. Its discovery in the UK was shared on the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group, and shoppers are hoping their local B&M stock up soon. The sweet treat has also received its fair share of praise on Instagram by those who have already tried it, including the account @foodreviewaustralia. One commenter, @thelastfoodsamurai, wrote: 'Definitely need to try this.' Another, @thatwasdeliciouss, wrote: 'This looks amazing.' While others described it as both 'delicious' and 'delightful'. If you're keen to try it for yourself, you'll need to head to one of B&M's 770 stores to track one down. You'll also be able to find it online at Candy Mail UK, an international retailer which specialises in imported sweets. The treat costs £2.49, excluding shipping fees. It's not the only rare Cadbury chocolate bar to hit shelves recently. One fan favourite from the 2000s has also been spotted at B&M. The Cadbury Dairy Milk Shortcake Milk Biscuit bars were discontinued back in 2008, but have been given new life recently after almost two decades. The snack made it into the New Foods UK Facebook group – and no doubt, chocolate aficionados took a moment to reminisce about its glory days. 'I used to love the UK version of this…it was lush,' penned Kat Palmer, while Charlotte Newbold said: 'Off to B&M I go!' In fact, fans of the bar have been so dedicated to the cause that they even created a Facebook group. Their cause was simple: Bring Back The Cadbury Dairy Milk Shortcake Biscuit Bar. More Trending Naturally, though, there's a catch. A spokesperson for Mondelēz International told MailOnline that these bars aren't sold directly by the UK branch and that the B&M bars have come from another market. To date, Cadbury also operates in Ireland, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Malta, and South Africa.

But this rare find also includes chocolate cookie pieces, giving it a twist. The delight is an import from Australia, which manufactures different flavoured Cadbury bars than what shoppers can buy in the UK. Shoppers were excited about the find, with one writing: "Looking out for these picnics." Meanwhile others were not so impressed, with one person who tried the snack, saying: "There is absolutely no cookie in this. It's biscuit." The new Picnic bar costs £1 in B&M stores if you are keen to try it for yourself. You will need to head to one of B&M's 770 stores across the UK because the retailer does not offer home delivery. With that in mind it may be worth ringing up your local branch ahead of time to avoid disappointment. You can find your nearest B&M by visiting You can also buy the chocolate from but you will need to factor in a £3 delivery fee. B&M shopper rushes to buy energy-saving gadget scanning for £1 instead of £35 And it's not the only rare chocolate spotted on the retailer's shelves in recent weeks. Dairy Milk Slices Shortcake Biscuit chocolate bar is now available in B&M stores. It was available in the UK until around 2008 but then was axed from shelves. Choc lovers are flocking to their nearest store to get their hands on the packs of Milkybar KitKat. The Australian import combines white milky bar chocolate with tasty KitKat wafer. HOW TO SAVE AT B&M The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager. This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products. Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well. These are added to special buy products that have been reduced in price. It's worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.
