  • Twirl Crispy Wafer (from Australia)
  • Twirl Mint (discontinued in the UK three years ago)
  • Dream (discontinued in the UK 24 years ago)

Rare Cadbury chocolate returns to B&M

Another rare Cadbury chocolate has now been spotted in B&M stores across the UK.

Cherry Ripe is Australia's oldest and most popular chocolate bar, dating back to 1924.

It contains a dense, sweet filling of cherries and moist coconut, covered in Cadbury's Old Gold rich dark chocolate.

Cherry Ripe has never been a standard, permanently stocked item in the UK, but has appeared in B&M at various times.

The rare Cadbury chocolate is back again at B&M now, on sale for £1.

Cherry Ripes are also currently available as part of an 'Australia's Chocolate Favourites' gift box at B&M (for £5.99).

Chocolate lovers in the UK have taken a liking to Cherry Ripes over the years.

One fan, posting on the Facebook group Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK, said: "You can’t beat them, best chocolate ever."

Another added: "My guilty pleasure at the moment, absolutely to die for."

A third chocolate lover commented: "They are absolutely gorgeous."
