And the sought-after treat was posted to the popular New Foods UK Facebook group when it was spotted in Asda. The post received likes and comments from sweet fans eager to get their hands on the new flavour. "Ooooh another one for the list," said one excited fan. Another asked a friend: "plz look out for these i need them." To which her friend replied: "Just got you a pkt, last on the shelf xx" While another confessed: "I've had these, they are tasty." ""I've wanted this my entire life," added a fifth sweet fan. This is the first Skittles flavour to launch since the brand released its Skittles Giants Gooey early last year.

Here are all launches and re-launches set to get shoppers going wild over the coming months. Skittles Citrus 7 Skittles Citrus are making their way onto shelves The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this month the new Skittles Citrus pouches would be hitting shelves this Spring and Summer. The 109g and 136g packs contain five new flavours: Orange, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin and Blood Orange. Mars, which makes the sweets, said the Citrus pouches will be available across all the major supermarkets. However, we only spotted them on sale at Asda currently, where the 136p pouch costs 98p. Some shoppers online say they've found them in smaller convenience stores as well. Tropical Refreshers 7 Swizzels has released a new flavour of its iconic Refreshers bar Swizzels has unveiled a new Tropical Refreshers flavour to mark 70 years since the classic sweet was first launched. The fresh flavour, combining mango and pineapple, is available in stores now. We couldn't see it on sale at the bigger supermarket chains, however you can buy a 20-pack on Amazon for £15. Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK? Shoppers have been quick to share their glee after finding out about the new flavour. Posting on Facebook, one said: "These look like they will taste amazing." While another said: "OMG yesss, I need." Bacardi Breezers 7 Drinking Bacardi Breezers were a right of passage for many 90s and 00s kids Kids from the 90s and 00s will be buzzing to hear Bacardi is launching three new Breezer flavours in supermarkets and convenience shops. Shoppers can pick up the alcopop in three flavours: Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon. B&M will start stocking them from July, Aldi from August and Sainsbury's from September, priced at £2 per bottle. Bacardi has also said they'll be available in convenience stores from July. Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte 7 Cadbury is launching its new Iced Latte Dairy Milk next month The Sun also exclusively revealed this month Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk flavour - Iced Latte. Shoppers will be able to pick up the bar from major retailers from next month. Cadbury is also launching four limited-edition Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars with packaging that changes colour based on temperature. The new chocolate bars will hit shelves in June and be available throughout the summer period for £2 a piece. Cadbury Twirl White Dipped 7 Cadbury has unveiled a new variation on its Twirl bar as well Cadbury is also adding another new chocolate bar to its line up on June 2 - Twirl White Dipped. The bar combines the classic flaked Twirl milk chocolate dipped in white chocolate. The bar is only limited edition though, so you'll want to be quick if you want to grab one when it launches. A price for the new bar is yet to be revealed. White Maltesers 7 Shoppers will not doubt remember white Maltesers Mars is bringing back White Maltesers after they were last seen on shelves 10 years ago. The snack is expected to return to supermarkets and independent stores on June 16. The treat first launched in 2003 but was taken off shelves back in 2014. Since then, social media has been awash with pleas from shoppers calling on them to bring the iconic flavour back. Including comments from punters who said the creamy honeycomb bites were the "best thing" they had ever had. 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. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
