CADBURY lovers were thrilled to spot a long-discontinued chocolate bar for sale at B&M.

The chocolate block, which even has its own Facebook page dedicated to its return, was spotted by a fan when shopping at the discount retail store.

Hailing from Australia, Cadbury Dairy Milk Slices Shortcake Biscuit chocolate bar is now available in B&M stores, but sadly not online.

It was available in the UK until around 2008 but excited chocolate fans when one shopper shared an image of their discovery to Facebook.

“Oh I used to love this one in the early 2000s! I missed it so much,” reacted one person in the comment section of the post.

Another added: “This was literally the s**t!! Off to B&M i go!!”

And a third commented: “They did this YEARS ago. Like 20+? And I’ve waited for it to come back.”

While someone else said: “Omg I dream about this chocolate.”

According to Cadbury Australia, the block is a limited edition offer made with sustainably sourced cocoa for the milk chocolate and shortcake biscuit pieces.

“Cadbury have taken inspiration from iconic Australian bakery slices and recreated them for family and friends to share in Cadbury blocks,” Cadbury Australia said on its website.

“Made with delicious Cadbury Chocolate each Cadbury Slices block is a unique eat experience, with different flavours and textures.”

The Sun has reached out to Cadbury owner Mondelēz International for comment.

The shortcake block is not Cadbury’s only foray into biscuit offerings and most recently launched a collaboration with Biscoff that landed in UK supermarkets in March.

It features Cadbury Dairy Milk with pieces of caramelized shortbread Biscoff pieces.

Back in 2012, the chocolate maker also released a collaboration with Oreo, much to the delight of shoppers.

The bar combined Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate with pieces of the chocolate biscuit.

The group also looked to bring sweet and savoury flavours together when it launched a chocolate bar with Ritz crackers back in 2014.

The snack comprised four pieces of Cadbury Dairy Milk sandwiched between small rectangles of Ritz biscuits.

For lovers of Aussie chocolates and snacks, there a plenty of classics from Down Under available on supermarket shelves.

The Australian treat, Tim Tam, recently come out with a new ‘Extra Chocolaty’ flavour.

The new Tim Tam Extra Chocolaty is available exclusively at Waitrose for an RRP of £2.50 per pack.

Similar to Britain’s Penguin biscuits, Tim Tams are made with two chocolate biscuits sandwiched together with a smooth chocolate cream, all wrapped in a thick layer of chocolate.

Over the years, they’ve become a household staple in Australia, with fans calling them the ultimate tea-time treat.
