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.

Why thousands are racing to get their hands on 'rare' Australian chocolate bar in the UK
It's not everyday an Aussie treat makes headlines overseas - but one Cadbury creation has Brits buzzing. A pair of uniquely Australian chocolate bars have landed on UK shelves, and local shoppers are scrambling to try the 'rare' chocolate that many Down Under grew up with. British bargain chain B&M has begun stocking two varieties of Cadbury's Marvellous Creations - Dream Raspberry and Cola Fizz - which are usually only found in Australia. The sweet news has sparked a frenzy among UK foodies keen to get a taste of the quirky chocolate combinations. A B&M worker had to caution Brits that not all stores will receive the bars at the same time, and smaller locations might not stock them at all. Inside the Cola Fizz bar are cola-flavoured jellies, fizzy candy chips and popping candy. The Dream bar features raspberry-flavoured candy chips, raspberry jellies and popping candy, all wrapped in creamy white chocolate. While UK supermarkets already offer the original Jelly Popping Candy Marvellous Creations, these two Aussie flavours are a rare sight - and the excitement online proves just how curious the world is about Australian confectionery. 'That's my fave chocolate bar and I love cola-flavoured things so I bet I'd love that,' one woman gushed online. 'I might do a taste test between the UK version vs the Australian version,' another added. 'That Dream bar with raspberry chunks sounds naughty,' a third said. Some even suggested the bars felt nostalgic - a taste of Aussie childhoods now being discovered abroad. Still, not everyone was convinced. 'Ok this needs to be tried! Because cola and chocolate I'm not suuurree,' one skeptical shopper wrote. 'Might get stick for this but Marvellous Creations is probably the worst thing Dairy Milk have ever come out with,' said another. 'Sweepings off the floor. Terrible idea,' one critic added. But for Australians, the sudden overseas interest is a reminder that some of our strangest sweets - the more chaotic, the better - may just be our most iconic.

'That dream bar with raspberry chunks sounds naughty,' added a third. 'I guess it would be a bit like the jelly, popping candy bar they do? Except with Cola. Hmmm might have to keep an eye out for this,' someone replied. But the unique flavours proved divisive and some were sceptical about the 'strange' sweet treat. 'Ok this needs to be tried!

They also pointed out some smaller stores may not stock the Aussie confectionery at all.

‘I could eat quite a lot in one go': Kids taste this year's crop of cute Easter chocolate
From a Marvellous Creations knock-off to an ice cream-inspired egg from Aldi and adorable Easter bunnies almost too cute to eat, we've taste-tested every chocolate treat imaginable. But we didn't do it alone – we handed the judging over to the real experts: the kids. We called upon the discerning palates of 10 youthful experts, Vincent (aged 16), Clementine (14), Huxley (13), Edward (12), Inez (12), Nancy (12), Holly (11), Penny (11), Bonnie (nine) and Henry (eight) to share their candid opinions on everything from milk chocolate Shetland ponies to a bunny that comes with its own storybook. With a wide range of ages helping us munch through mountains of chocolate, our panel put eggs and treats from supermarkets, independent chocolatiers and big-name brands to the test. After consuming more chocolate than any child should, especially before the Easter holidays have even started, our judges present their picks for what to buy – and the ones that totally missed the mark. How we tested The products were removed from their packaging to anonymise the samples before being tasted blind. Our judges made sure to take note of each product's appearance – did it impress? After assessing each one for flavour and texture, the judges assigned a score before looking at the packaging and price to decide if the confections represented good value for money.
