New dupes of classic 2000s sweets land on Sainsbury's shelves as shoppers scramble to stock up
SHOPPERS have spotted a dupe of an iconic noughties sweet on Sainsbury's shelves. Rowntree's Bursting Bugs first hit shelves back in 2000, with confectionery fans loving their creepy crawly shapes and gooey filling. 2 2 However, they didn't stick around for long, and were discontinued in around 2003, due to low sales. Despite their short time on supermarket shelves, the insect-shaped sweets have remained a nostalgic memory for many sweet treat fans, with a petition even started to bring them back. And now, snack fans have spotted a similar treat on the shelves at Sainsburys. Posting the Newfood's UK Facebook group, one excited snack lover said: "New Bugs & Beetles Sweets from Sainsburys!" Attached the post was a picture of the new Sainsbury's snacks which are a very similar shape to the Rowntrees sweets. The post was flooded with comments from shoppers excited about the discovery. One shopper, tagging a friend said: "OMG we need some of these. "They should be like them old squirty bugs Rowntrees made." Anotheer person said: " I remember these sweets back when I was a kid and they got discontinued!" Tagging a friend, a third person said: "Could they be as good as Bursting Bugs?!" Iconic 80s retro sweet RETURNS to UK supermarket shelves after a decade A fourth added: "I remember when Rowntrees used to make them." However, another shopper was left disappointed to find that the Sainsbury's sweets, which are priced at 75p, are not gooey inside, like the originals. Wham bar return This comes as eagle-eyed shoppers recently spotted that iconic 80s sweet, the Wham bar has returned to supermarket shelves, in an ice lolly version. Posting to the NewfoodsUK Facebook group, one shopper said: "Wham Ice Cream Lollies are back at Iceland Foods." How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... 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. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. 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. The sour raspberry flavoured ice cream lolly features "cosmic crystals" and has no artificial colours or flavours. The lollies are available exclusively at Iceland and a pack of four sweet treats costs just £2.50. Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Facebook post to share their excitement at the new lollies. One person said: "These sound amazing". A second person added: "I wonder if rockets are back too!"

I tried the £2 viral M&S Crumbl Cookie dupes and one tastes just like an iconic chocolate treat
Read on to find out which one was my favourite SNACK ATTACK I tried the £2 viral M&S Crumbl Cookie dupes and one tastes just like an iconic chocolate treat POSH supermarket M&S is becoming famous for its viral bakery treats - but are the latest Crumbl Cookie dupes any good? The posh supermarket has launched three new Chunked N' Loaded cookies with both a topping and filling, and they've been compared to Ben's or Crumbl Cookies. Advertisement 4 Senior Consumer Reporter Adele Cooke tried the new M&S viral cookies They cost £2 each and come in Raspberry Cheesecake, Pistachio and Chocolate & Hazelnut flavour. The Sun's Adele Cooke put them to the test to see how they compare to others on the market and if they are really worth the hype. Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie I'd never say no to a slice of raspberry cheesecake so I was excited to give this cookie a try. The biscuit is full of a raspberry cheesecake-style centre and is topped with raspberry chunks and a drizzle of white chocolate. Advertisement 4 I was surprised by the Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie, which smelt amazing Credit: Newfoods UK The cookie looked tasty and smelt amazing when I took it out of the bag. When I bit into it the outside was crunchy while the centre managed to stay soft and gooey. There was quite a lot of raspberry filling, which helped to keep the cookie moist. Advertisement But I wouldn't say the biscuit had a strong cheesecake flavour and I could only really taste raspberry. Score: 4/5 Pistachio Cookie I'm a big fan of pistachio and enjoyed trying the viral Dubai chocolate and M&S Big Daddy Pistachio bar, so I was excited to tuck into this cookie. 4 The pistachio cookie was disappointing and dry in the centre Credit: Newfoods UK Advertisement M&S describe it as a mixture of nutty and zesty, with white chocolate chips, nibbed pistachios and a hint of Sicilian lemon oil, with a pistachio and cream cheese-style centre. It's topped with a white chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios. I had high hopes for the biscuit but was thoroughly disappointed. The cookie was dry and crumbly, almost like a shortbread biscuit. Advertisement There was no gooey pistachio paste, as you find inside Dubai chocolate. It didn't really taste of pistachio and the chunks of nuts did little to add to the flavour. The hint of lemon was the only thing I could taste and overpowered the pistachio. This biscuit was nothing like the Crumbl cookies I've tried in the US and left me feeling disappointed. Advertisement Score: 1/5 Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookie Last but not least was the Chocolate and Hazelnut cookie, which I'm sure is set to be the most popular with shoppers. 4 The Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookie was my favourite and tasted like Nutella Credit: Newfoods UK The biscuit combines dark chocolate chips with crunchy nibbed hazelnuts. Advertisement Inside it has a rich, oozy chocolate and hazelnut centre and it is topped with a swirl of milk chocolate and a handful of roasted hazelnuts. The chocolate cookie was far the most eye-catching and made my mouth water just looking at it. When I bit into it the cookie was so soft it fell apart in my mouth. The chocolate filling was very similar to Nutella and was rich without being overpoweringly nutty. Advertisement I couldn't help myself and ate the whole thing. Of all the cookies I tried, it reminded me the most of Crumbl biscuits I had tried in the US. The texture and filling were similar to the Buckeye Brownie Cookie as both are crunchy while still being soft in the centre. Score: 5/5 Advertisement Verdict I was pleasantly surprised by the M&S cookies and can see them being popular with those who have a sweet tooth. At just £2 each they expensive for just one cookie, when you can get a bag of four from M&S' bakery for around £3. In comparisons, they are cheaper than Crumbl, which is only available in the US and costs around $28 for a box of six. Whereas you can get a box of seven cookies for £14 from Ben's Cookies, which these ones have also been compared to. Advertisement They don't have as much filling as the Crumbl version but I preferred them as they were less sickening. I can see them being popular with those who want a sweet treat on the go or an afternoon pick-me-up. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
