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?

Cadbury shrinks size of Dairy Milk Freddo multipacks
The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs and the classic Dairy Milk. However, arguably one of the most popular Cadbury chocolates is its Dairy Milk Freddos. The price of Freddos has been a major talking point over the years. The popular chocolate used to be 10p, but recently it has risen in price and is now on sale in supermarkets for up to 40p (Sainsbury's). Cadbury shrinks size of Freddo multipacks Now, Freddo multipacks have been hit by shrinkflation. Cadbury has shrunk the size of its Freddo (5x18g) and Caramel Freddo (5x19.5g) multipacks by 20%, according to The Grocer. These multipacks disappeared from Tesco stores in May and have recently been replaced by Freddo 4x18g and Freddo Caramel 4x19.5g multipacks. Despite the change in size, the price has remained the same at £1.40. The original 5-packs of Freddo chocolates are still available in some supermarkets, including Morrisons. (Image: Morrisons) Both the old and new versions of the Freddo multipacks are available at Morrisons (at the time of writing), on sale for £1.40. While Sainsbury's still has the original multipacks of five available, both for £1.40. Cadbury reveals reason behind change to Freddo multipacks A spokesman for Cadbury owner Mondelez International, speaking to The Grocer, confirmed the change to Freddo multipacks was made due to "significantly higher input costs". RECOMMENDED READING: The spokesperson explained ingredients like cocoa and dairy cost "far more" than they have done in the past and energy and transport prices "remain high". They continued: "This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges. 'As a result of this difficult environment, we have had to make the decision to slightly reduce the weight of our Cadbury Dairy Milk Freddo multipacks so that we can continue to provide consumers with the brands they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect."
