‘Extinct’ Cadbury’s chocolate bar returns to B&M shelves as shoppers rush to ‘buy them all’ before they run out
CHOCOHOLICS are going wild after a Cadbury’s treat they thought was “extinct” was spotted on the shelves at B&M.
It marks the return of an iconic chocolate bar – but this time in miniature form.
A picture of the Cadbury Fuse Mini Treats was posted to a Newfoodsuk Facebook group.
So far, it has wracked up a whopping 539 reacts and over 70 shares.
Nearly 300 overexcited chocolate-lovers rushed to the comments, with one telling their friend: “If you see these buy all of them.”
Others pointed out that the Mini Fuse Treats hailed the return of a cult classic – the Fuse bar.
This is not currently on sale in supermarkets, but does occasionally appear on specialist websites such as Bombon.
One wrote: “I thought fuse chocolate was extinct, seems like it still exists.”
Another said: “If these are like the old FUSE bars I NEED these!”
A third disbelieving fan commented: “Used to have these in full size bars years ago. Delish.”
The Fuse bar is a combination of crunchy peanuts, gooey caramel and a creamy truffle centre, all coated in smooth milk chocolate.
The grab-bag version contains seven mini bars, according to the packaging.
It comes as B&M shoppers also went wild for a new twist on the Dream bar.
Meanwhile, chocolate lovers raved about a new type of M&Ms – the Candy Popcorn M&M Minis.
And Nestle added a new chocolate to its Quality Street “Favourites Golden Selection” pouch – the Toffee Penny.
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 Trolley.co.uk 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.
