Cadbury shuts down customers who beg ‘WHEN are we getting these bad boys back?’ as it confirms loved bar is discontinued
DISAPPOINTED fans were shut down as they begged “when are we getting these bad boys back?” in the hope to see a beloved chocolate return.
Cadbury sadly confirmed a nation favourite was still far from being re-stocked on supermarket shelves.

A choccie lover penned their frustration on X/formerly Twitter and asked the company if Dairy Milk Mint Chips treats would make a comeback.
“When will we get these bad boys back? They are very much missed,” they wrote.
But, they were sorely let down when the industry giant replied: “We understand your love for this product, but currently, there are no plans to reintroduce it.
“We do however, have lots of chocolatey treats to try.”
It comes as shoppers rushed to bag a bargain on Cadbury chocolate bars that reminded them of another discontinued favourite.
A savvy bargain hunter spotted Cadbury Dairy Milk and More Caramel Nut Crunch bars scanning for just 25p at Sainsbury’s reduced from £2.75.
They said: “Loved this – so good. When eating I think it tastes like the now extinct Topic, but in bar form.
“I’m happy about as was devastated when the topic got stopped as they were amazing.”
Topics were discontinued three years ago and choc lovers were gutted.
The Mars favourite was quietly taken off shelves in 2021 and it seems fans are only just starting to realise.
Chocoholic Brits were also let down down by Cadbury after the company confirmed their “best” chocolate bar won’t be back.
The Cadbury Dairy Milk Toffee Popcorn bar was first released in 2012 but has been tough to find for fans ever since.
Another shopper begged to see Cadbury’s famous Spira bars make a comeback – but was disheartened at the response.
ICONIC CHOCOLATES THAT HAVE LEFT SHOP SHELVES
Cadbury’s Dream Chocolate bar: The popular bar was discontinued in 2002, but was relaunched in 2019 under the new name ‘Cadbury White’.
Mars Delight Bar: Although it proved to be a firm favourite by sweet-toothed fans during its four-year stint in shops starting in 2004, by 2008 it was removed from shelves. Fans still long to see the treat make a return.
Nestlé’s Caramac chocolate bar: The one-of-a-kind bar had been in shops for over six decades, but was discontinued last year due to continual slumps in sales.
Milky Way Crispy Rolls: They were pulled from shelves in 2022, and fans were so distraught by the news that a petition was started to bring them back, which currently has more than 8,500 signatures.
White Maltesers: The white chocolate version of the popular snack had a strong run lasting 11 years, but falling sales saw them discontinued in 2014.
They said: “Hi Sarah, we have no plans to bring back Spira, however we still have lots of other chocolatey treats to try.”
The classic bar was first made available to Brits in the North-West and South-West of England – but due to being an instant hit was soon stocked in shops all over the UK in 1989.
Unfortunately the treat’s popularity became its downfall as it was discontinued in 2005 when becoming too difficult for the legendary chocolate brand to keep up with demand.
But it’s not all bad news as fans are offered a trip down the memory lane at a Cadbury “graveyard” stocked with all their famous axed treats.
The mouth-watering chocolate collection offers fans the chance to step back in time and be reunited with their retro favourites.
How to save money on chocolate
CONSUMER reporter Sam Walker explains how to save money on your next chocolate haul...
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for 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.
