Nutella prices set to increase due to cold snap

Independent2 days ago
An unusual cold snap in Turkey is predicted to increase the price of Nutella and Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
Turkey accounts for approximately 65 percent of the world's hazelnut production, and recent frosts severely damaged crops.
Wholesale hazelnut prices have already risen by around 30 percent, with further increases anticipated.
Ferrero, the Italian maker of Nutella, purchases about a quarter of Turkey 's hazelnut output, linking the price rise directly to the supply squeeze.
While Ferrero states it does not expect a supply disruption due to other hazelnut sources, scientific analysis suggests such late-spring frosts may be exacerbated by the climate crisis.

Rare 90s Cadbury chocolate bar is spotted at The Range after vanishing from shelves two decades ago

CHOCOLATE lovers are buzzing after a rare Cadbury bar from the 90s has been spotted back on shelves — this time at The Range. Shoppers were stunned to see the nostalgic Top Deck bar on sale, years after it vanished from UK shops in the early 2000s. 5 5 5 One excited fan took to Facebook, posting: 'Loads of different Cadbury bars spotted at The Range, ' sparking a wave of sweet-toothed excitement in the comments. 'Had them all. Amazing,' wrote one user, while another added: 'I was just saying about a big mint crisp being needed!' Others tagged their friends, eager to share the choc discovery. The 95g Top Deck bar, which features two generous layers of creamy white and classic Dairy Milk chocolate, was a childhood favourite for many growing up in the 90s. It originally launched in 1993 and quickly gained a cult following before quietly disappearing from UK shelves in the early 2000s. Fans spent years calling for its return — and last year, Cadbury finally brought it back as a limited-edition release to mark the brand's 200th anniversary. Mara Popa, brand manager at Mondelēz International, said at the time: 'We're delighted to be answering Cadbury fans' requests and relaunching Cadbury Top Deck in the UK for a limited time, as part of our 200-year anniversary celebrations. How to compare prices to get the best deal JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. "With two delicious layers of milk and creamy white chocolate, every bite of Cadbury Top Deck will reward you with pure indulgence!' The bar's return was met with huge excitement, especially after it was spotted on sale for just 75p at Farmfoods earlier this year. Compared to other retailers, the discount was massive — Morrisons was selling it for £2, Iceland for £1.25, and Amazon had it listed for nearly £5. News of the bargain quickly spread on deal-hunting websites like HotUKDeals and across social media, where fans rushed to snap up the limited stock. Now, with sightings of the Top Deck at The Range, shoppers are hoping for another chance to relive their favourite chocolate memories without breaking the bank. The Range has become known for stocking quirky and limited-edition treats, but availability often varies by location. Fans hoping to grab one are being urged to head to their nearest branch quickly, as there's no guarantee of how long stocks will last. It's worth noting that Farmfoods, which doesn't sell online, had limited in-store availability as well — so checking with your local store before making the trip might save disappointment. Using price comparison tools like or Google Shopping can help ensure you're getting the best value. 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 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. 5 5

Shoppers spot chocolate bar that's a Kinder Bueno dupe but it has a HUGE twist

SHOPPERS have spotted a new chocolate bar in B&M that's a Kinder Bueno dupe - but there's a big twist. The discount retailer has started selling Nutymax bars which have come all the way from Turkey. At first glance they look similar to the popular Kinder Buenos, with two fingers of chocolate filled with crispy wafer and a cream filling. But rather than having a hazelnut filling, they contain pistachio - much like the viral Dubai chocolate bars. They are selling for 89p for a 44g bar, making them much cheaper than a Kinder Bueno. For comparison, B&M sells Kinder Buenos for £1.95. They're cheapest at £1.75 in Iceland, but this still makes them almost twice the price. The Nutymax is described online as having a "crispy wafer and abundant cream filling" and "pistachio puree overflowing from the wafer and the whole pistachios inside". Popular Instagrammer John's Snack Reviews shared his thoughts on the bar, giving it a solid 7.5 out of 10. "The pistachio cream is really decent. Strong nutty cream that tastes like supermarket pistachio spread," he said. "However, the thickness of the milk chocolate coating overpowers it so it's a touch difficult to taste the pistachio until the end." Commenters shared their excitement to try the new sweet treat, with one saying: "This sounds like a DREAM!" Dubai Ice Cream Another wrote "Ooooohhhh yum" while a third said they "need it". But a different commenter said they had tried the bar in Turkey and it was "disappointing". Shoppers seem to be divided as reviewers on which also sells the bar, say they are "the BEST chocolates". One person said: "LOVE them so much, great presentation, great packing and flavor perfect, LOVE them so so so much!!" Another said: "Delicious, never had these before and can't get them here. Will be ordering more in time." What other Kinder Bueno varieties are there? Of course, this is a dupe rather than a new Kinder Bueno version. But you can get a couple of Kinder Bueno varieties. The original version comes with milk chocolate, but there is also a popular white chocolate one. These cost 75p in Asda or £1 in Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons. At Christmas you can also get Kinder Bueno Eggs in an 80g pack. You can also get Kinder Bueno ice creams, which are £4.94 for a pack of four at Asda. They're one penny more expensive at Morrisons, Iceland and Tesco.
