Cadbury's ‘best' chocolate that's only sold for a few months each year is back

Cadbury's ‘best' chocolate that's only sold for a few months each year is back

Metro03-06-2025
Cadbury isn't exactly short of chocolate bars, snacks and desserts to satisfy a sweet tooth, but there are a few products we wish they'd add to the permanent line-up.
One of the 'best' items the brand sells is hands down the Creme Egg, which is typically only available for the first few months of the year, launching after Christmas and disappearing after Easter.
Filled with a gooey white and yellow fondant centre, the chocolate egg comes in both milk and white chocolate versions and is an Spring staple. This year it hit supermarket shelves in January, but was axed from supermarkets in the UK at the end of April.
However, if you've been missing the sugary treat, there's good news as it's currently for sale in Costco and unsurprisingly, the wholesale retailer is selling the chocolate in bulk, so you'll definitely be able to get your fix (and then some).
Those with a Costco membership card can head down to their nearest Costco warehouse and grab a box of 48 Cadbury Creme Eggs.
The store is selling boxes of milk chocolate ones and boxes of the white chocolate ones for £19.99 each (£23.98 including VAT).
Many will likely be thrilled to get their hands on the product once again, as they've been hailed as 'the best', 'a classic', 'a childhood favourite' and 'delicious' by Cadbury fans on Reddit.
One person even loved them so much, they rated them a '700/10', which is particularly bold.
There are 29 Costco warehouses around the UK, with discounts on everything from toiletries and groceries to petrol and big-ticket tech.
You can't just walk in and start shopping though. Only certain professions can apply for in-store membership (priced from £33.60 per year).
Alongside business owners, qualifying roles include the likes of local government, banking, medicine, education, or the police.
But even if you don't fall into one of these categories, you may still be able to get in on the savings.
According to MSE, AA, RAC and National Trust Members are also eligible to join at certain locations – including Birmingham, Sheffield and Cardiff.
There is a catch with this kind of membership, though. You can only shop at the location you joined. Once you get the go-ahead, however, all you have to do is show the relevant info at the membership counter and shop 'til you drop.
If Creme Eggs aren't for you, don't worry as Cadbury also has a few new items launching that might be more up your street and these will be available more widely in supermarkets across the UK.
The brand recently announced they'd be launching colour-changing Dairy Milk chocolate bars this summer, as well as a brand new flavour.
A new Iced Latte Dairy Milk will be available in June, which combines smooth coffee cream, biscuit pieces and the classic taste of Cadbury chocolate. More Trending
But what's particularly interesting about this new product isn't the flavours – it's the packaging.
That's because the chocolate bar comes in a temperature-activated packet, which visually transforms when it is chilled.
Yes, that's right, in a somewhat unexpected move, Cadbury is actively encouraging people to put their chocolate bars in the fridge.
In addition to the iced coffee-inspired new chocolate bar, Cadbury will be adding the colour-changing wrappers to regular Dairy Milk chocolate, so there will be four-limited edition bars available as well. These are all part of a range they are calling 'Cadbury Dairy Milk Chilled'.

Meme stocks are back as Opendoor skyrockets - but analysts expect rallies to fade

This month has seen a resurgence of so-called 'meme stock' trading, as organised groups of retail investors pile into a handful of down-on-their-luck companies. Meme stocks are unfavoured shares that gain a cult following thanks to social media platforms like Reddit. Prices are then driven higher, often in response to large short positions built up by hedge funds betting against the companies. The phenomenon was brought to international attention in 2021 when lockdown-bound retail investors using the subreddit r/WallStreetBets sparked wild price swings in the likes of Gamestop and AMC Entertainment. Last year saw a revival of retail bets on Gamestop, albeit at less intense trading volumes than three years earlier. And now the attention of Reddit's vigilante investors is targeted on a handful of new US-listed names, including iconic donut brand Krispy Kreme and GoPro. Neil Wilson, UK investor strategist at Saxo Markets, said: 'Meme stocks are back - Krispy Kreme, GoPro, Kohl's are now some of the names that are attracting attention. 'These are super volatile. Quantumscape is another - down 7 per cent yesterday and 4 per cent after-hours following earnings.' But the most attention has been on peer-to-peer residential real estate firm Opendoor Technologies. What is Opendoor - and why are people investing? Opendoor allows users to sell it their home directly for cash via its app. It then repairs the purchased homes, and resells them on the open market. 'Sell us your home, we'll renovate and resell it, and you get all the upside,' it says. The stock had been shorted by many large investors owing to concerns about its fundamentals. Stockopedia rates the company 15 out of 100 on a 'quality' basis, with Opendoor's operating losses widening from $170million to $322million last year. Opendoor Technologies shares jumped more than 12 per cent at the US open to $2.60 on Thursday, taking one-month gains to almost 370 per cent. However, illustrating the high volatility of the last week, the shares have almost halved from Monday's peak of $4.79. Wild ride: Opendoor Technologies shares are up by almost 370% over the last month When will the Opendoor rally end? Lale Akoner, global market analyst at eToro, said recent gains in the stock have been 'driven by speculative momentum, not fundamentals' and she expects reality to set in again at some point soon. Akoner added: 'The stock surged over 500 per cent in weeks on meme hype, but with persistent losses, thin margins, and exposure to a weak housing market, the underlying business hasn't changed. 'Its explosive rise and sudden reversal is similar to the 2021 meme-stock frenzy, but this part of the cycle lacks the cushion of stimulus checks and zero rates. 'Unlike 2021, the backdrop today includes tighter financial conditions and unresolved trade volatility. 'We therefore think Opendoor trade isn't about fundamentals but FOMO [fear of missing out] chasing short squeezes. As liquidity normalizes and macro risks return to focus, the air will likely come out of this rally.' Some analysts have attributed the Opendoor rally to X posts last week by EMJ Capital founder and portfolio manager Eric Jackson, who said his hedge fund took a position in the group and projected it would hit $82 in the longer term. 'When I first started tweeting about Opendoor last Monday afternoon, I definitely wasn't thinking it was going to be considered a meme stock,' Jackson said on Wednesday.'
