CADBURY lovers are going wild for a new flavour spotted on shelves.
Eagle-eyed customers could not believe their luck when they spotted a Dairy Milk Rum and Raisin chocolate bar at The Range.
The rare find consists of classic milk chocolate, raisin pieces and rum flavourings.
The sweet treat is likely an import from South Africa, where it is commonly sold.
Nevertheless, shoppers still went wild for the treat, with one jokingly replying: “now we’re talking” when they spotted it on shelves.
You can expect to pay £1.99 at The Range for a 80g bar of the chocolate.
If you are keen to shop the product you will have to do it in person and it is not available to order online.
With that in mind, it may be worth ringing up your local brand ahead of time to avoid a wasted trip.
You can find your nearest branch by visiting, www.therange.co.uk/stores.
Other websites such as Candy Mail and World Snacks also sell the snack for £3.99, but it is currently out of stock on both websites.
If you don’t manage to get your hands on the snack, you can always try out similar flavours.
For example, Cadbury Bournville dark chocolate range also makes a bar in the same flavour.
Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut bars also feature raisins alongside other dried fruit.
Over the summer, shoppers were also shocked to see imported bars of Cadbury Dream on the discounters shelves.
The bar features creamy white chocolate but was axed in 2002 in the UK.
It is still made in the likes of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
More rare chocolate
Discounters regularly sell imported chocolate, so it’s worth keeping your eyes peeled for them if you are keen to try.
For example, B&M shoppers spotted the Cadbury Dairy Milk Sticky Toffee slices bar in stores last month.
Elsewhere, the Cadbury Dairy Milk Slices Peanut Caramel bar was spotted in the discount store for £2.99 in-store back in March.
And in May shoppers spotted a 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.
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.
