Cadbury's ‘best' chocolate that's only sold for a few months each year is back
Cadbury isn't exactly short of chocolate bars, snacks and desserts to satisfy a sweet tooth, but there are a few products we wish they'd add to the permanent line-up. One of the 'best' items the brand sells is hands down the Creme Egg, which is typically only available for the first few months of the year, launching after Christmas and disappearing after Easter. Filled with a gooey white and yellow fondant centre, the chocolate egg comes in both milk and white chocolate versions and is an Spring staple. This year it hit supermarket shelves in January, but was axed from supermarkets in the UK at the end of April. However, if you've been missing the sugary treat, there's good news as it's currently for sale in Costco and unsurprisingly, the wholesale retailer is selling the chocolate in bulk, so you'll definitely be able to get your fix (and then some). Those with a Costco membership card can head down to their nearest Costco warehouse and grab a box of 48 Cadbury Creme Eggs. The store is selling boxes of milk chocolate ones and boxes of the white chocolate ones for £19.99 each (£23.98 including VAT). Many will likely be thrilled to get their hands on the product once again, as they've been hailed as 'the best', 'a classic', 'a childhood favourite' and 'delicious' by Cadbury fans on Reddit. One person even loved them so much, they rated them a '700/10', which is particularly bold. There are 29 Costco warehouses around the UK, with discounts on everything from toiletries and groceries to petrol and big-ticket tech. You can't just walk in and start shopping though. Only certain professions can apply for in-store membership (priced from £33.60 per year). Alongside business owners, qualifying roles include the likes of local government, banking, medicine, education, or the police. But even if you don't fall into one of these categories, you may still be able to get in on the savings. According to MSE, AA, RAC and National Trust Members are also eligible to join at certain locations – including Birmingham, Sheffield and Cardiff. There is a catch with this kind of membership, though. You can only shop at the location you joined. Once you get the go-ahead, however, all you have to do is show the relevant info at the membership counter and shop 'til you drop. If Creme Eggs aren't for you, don't worry as Cadbury also has a few new items launching that might be more up your street and these will be available more widely in supermarkets across the UK. The brand recently announced they'd be launching colour-changing Dairy Milk chocolate bars this summer, as well as a brand new flavour. A new Iced Latte Dairy Milk will be available in June, which combines smooth coffee cream, biscuit pieces and the classic taste of Cadbury chocolate. More Trending But what's particularly interesting about this new product isn't the flavours – it's the packaging. That's because the chocolate bar comes in a temperature-activated packet, which visually transforms when it is chilled. Yes, that's right, in a somewhat unexpected move, Cadbury is actively encouraging people to put their chocolate bars in the fridge. In addition to the iced coffee-inspired new chocolate bar, Cadbury will be adding the colour-changing wrappers to regular Dairy Milk chocolate, so there will be four-limited edition bars available as well. These are all part of a range they are calling 'Cadbury Dairy Milk Chilled'. Do you have a story to share?

Peter Crouch says 'I don't know why I'm with you' to wife Abbey Clancy
Peter Crouch says 'I don't know why I'm with you' to wife Abbey Clancy Abbey Clancy has said she often goes to bed before her husband Peter Crouch so she can watch television, but in order to get a better view she has been borrowing his orthopedic pillow Peter Crouch joked he didn't know why he was with wife Abbey Clancy (Image: Karwai Tang/WireImage ) Peter Crouch joked he "doesn't know why he is with" wife Abbey Clancy after she started doing one thing in their bedroom. Model Abbey, 39, has taken to going to bed before her husband to catch up on her favourite TV shows. Recently, Abbeysays she has been watching Married at First Sight. In order to get a better view of the television, Abbey has been borrowing 44-year-old Peter's orthopedic pillow. Speaking during the weekly whine segment on the couple's The Therapy Crouch podcast, Abbey said: "You keep getting p***** off at me on your orthopedic pillow." Peter, the former England and Liverpool striker, explained that his chiropractor recommended the dipped pillow, which he said has "really helped" him. He commented on the situation saying: "She's all over the orthopedic pillow. It helps with my posture and stuff and helps me have a good night's sleep." Abbey described her new bedtime routine: "I get into bed first and it's a bit firmer so I'm a bit more upright in this pillow so it's perfect. My face is in the perfect position for MAFS." (Image: SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images ) Article continues below With a touch of humour, Abbey added while mimicking an upright position: "I'm like that with me cup of tea and Creme Egg. 'Peter, can you just run down and put a little boiling water in that cup of tea, it's freezing'." Peter shared his discomfort, joking that he felt like he was "doing crunches" trying to watch TV without his pillow, leading to his playful remark: "I don't actually know why I'm with you. "It's dawned on me now. It's really actually dawned on me. You're belittling my wins, even if it's a small win, you should celebrate that as my wife. "Number two, you take the p*** out of my orthopedic pillow and number three, you steal it. It's unbelievable." Peter Crouch has recently invested in a new pillow (Image:) Peter had previously quipped that his new pillow - along with a change in medication for his allergies - led Abbey to fear he was dead after he stopped snoring. He said: "I've got some new medicine for my polyps, it's really helping my allergies and everything, and I've ended up not snoring. And I've got a new pillow from the chiropractor because I've had a bad neck. "I went to see a chiropractor, gave me this new pillow, and they gave me this dipped pillow. I've got this new pillow and I wasn't snoring the other night and I was fast asleep." Abbey asked: "How do you know?" To which her husband replied: "I'll tell you how I know, because you elbowed me for not snoring. "She elbowed me in the middle of the night, she probably won't even remember, about 3am. She thought I was dead. Article continues below "I said, 'What the hell did you do that for? You said, 'You weren't making a sound." Peter joked he "couldn't win". He added: "If I'm snoring, I'm keeping you awake and I'm a pain in the a***. If I'm not snoring, you're worrying I'm dead."

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.

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.
