Rare Cadbury bar spotted in B&M and it’s a twist on a popular discontinued chocolate
EAGLE-EYED shoppers have spotted a rare Cadbury bar at B&M and the sweet treat comes with a twist.
The delicious snack was discontinued 20 years ago but has finally resurfaced on the budget shop’s shelves.
B&M are selling a combination of the Cadbury Dream and Marvellous Creations bars.
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.
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
Consumer news editor Ellie Smitherman says: “No idea whose bright idea it was to get rid of these, but it was possibly one of the worst moves in cereal history. “
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.
