B&M shoppers spot all-new Cadbury bar on shop shelves for first time and it’s a twist on a classic
B&M shoppers have spotted an all-new Cadbury bar on shelves for the first time - and it's a twist on a classic.
Sweet-toothed shoppers could not believe their luck when they spotted the new in the aisle of the store.
The treat is like a classic Cadbury Picnic bar, featuring a filling of caramel, peanuts, crispy cereal, and dried grapes.
But this rare find also includes chocolate cookie pieces, giving it a twist.
The delight is an import from Australia, where shoppers are treated to some very different flavoured Cadbury bars.
Shoppers were excited about the find, with one writing: "Looking out for these picnics."

Meanwhile others were not so impressed, with one person who tried the snack, saying: "There is absolutely no cookie in this. It's biscuit."
The new Picnic bar costs £1 in B&M stores if you are keen to try it for yourself.
You will need to head to one of B&M's 770 stores across the UK because the retailer does not offer home delivery.
With that in mind it may be worth ringing up your local branch ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

You can find your nearest B&M by visiting www.bmstores.co.uk/stores.
You can also buy the chocolate from Sanza.co.uk, but you will need to factor in a £3 delivery fee.
And it's not the only rare chocolate spotted on the retailer's shelves in recent weeks.
Dairy Milk Slices Shortcake Biscuit chocolate bar is now available in B&M stores.
It was available in the UK until around 2008 but then was axed from shelves.
Choc lovers are flocking to their nearest store to get their hands on the packs of Milkybar KitKat.
The Australian import combines white milky bar chocolate with tasty KitKat wafer.
HOW TO SAVE AT B&M
The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well.
These are added to special buy products that have been reduced in price.

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.
