The chocolate giant announced the return of the seasonal treats on Instagram on October 9 with a video of fans excitedly rushing to their local Sainsbury’s store to snap up the treat.
The caption read: “PSA: Cadbury Snowballs have hit the shelves! Is it too soon, or are we just getting a head start on the Christmas magic?”
Ecstatic fans took to the comments to weigh in with their opnions after the treat “finally” made a comeback.
One wrote: “Yay! My favourite! Even better than mini eggs.”
Another said: “We have been waiting since last Christmas!”
A happy third added: “I’ve eaten 3 packets already. They’re the best.”
Made with sustainably sourced cocoa, the Mini Snowballs bag contains Cadbury milk chocolate balls wrapped in a crisp sugar shell with a dusting of icing sugar.
Meanwhile, the Mini Snowballs bar contains chocolate with mini snowballs inclusions.
The products are currently available to purchase at major retailers across the UK, including Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
As Christmas becomes more expensive with each passing year, some punters may now have the perfect solution to rising food costs.
That includes your festive-favourite chocolates, which are always popular with shoppers at this time of year.
It’s always a good idea to shop around to make sure you can find the best deals.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.
Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers.
All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
