CHOC fans are losing their minds after a much-loved Cadbury treat made a surprise comeback.
The legendary Dairy Milk Caramel Chocolate Brownies, once thought gone for good, have been spotted back on shelves – this time nestled in Aldi's frozen aisle.

Originally launched back in 2021 as a limited-edition exclusive with Iceland, the gooey golden brownies were an instant hit, sparking an online frenzy and countless freezer raids.
But when they mysteriously vanished, shoppers were left devastated.
One choc-lover wailed on Facebook: 'Has anyone noticed the Cadbury Caramel brownies are no longer available?'
Another was ready to shed tears: 'If they've discontinued these I'll cry.'
But now, after a long three-year wait, hope is sweetly restored.
An eagle-eyed shopper spotted the brownies chilling in Aldi's frozen section and quickly took to Facebook to share the news.
The snap – showing the iconic purple packaging sent fans into overdrive.
Comments came pouring in. One user said: 'Look what's back'.
Whilst another added: 'Over the moon woohoo'.
The gooey treat features soft caramel wrapped in rich Dairy Milk brownie.
We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon
The Sun has contacted Cadbury to confirm whether the brownies will remain an Aldi exclusive, but for now, it seems they have only been sighted in Aldi stores.
The product is not available on Aldi's website so you'll have to visit your local Aldi store.
It's always worth calling ahead to make sure they have it in stock before making a trip.
Before snapping up novelty snacks, check comparison sites like Trolley.co.uk or PriceSpy.co.uk to make sure you're getting the best deal.
Some treats can be cheaper from other retailers or online sweet shops – but beware of delivery fees.
Cadbury summer finds
Chocolate lovers are racing to B&M to snap up a brand new Cadbury bar.
The limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake has hit the bargain retailer, and fans are already scrambling to get their hands on it.
It comes just days after Cadbury unveiled its new Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars and the Iced Latte flavour – both wrapped in cold-activated packaging that transforms in the fridge.
Earlier this month, fans also spotted Dairy Milk Balls in stores, with many comparing them to the nostalgic Cadbury Tasters from the '90s.
Just a few weeks ago the chocolate giant rolled out its limited-edition Twirl White Dipped bar, combining flaky Twirl layers with silky white chocolate.
From iced latte Twirls to chocolate-coffee collabs with Kenco, it looks like summer 2025 is shaping up to be a choc-filled paradise for sweet-toothed Brits.
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.
