Cadbury's Mini Snow Balls are one of the best selling chocolate treats in the UK, at Christmas time.
The tasty bar is made from a smooth dairy milk chocolate and is covered in a crispy icing sugar shell.
Normally only available in December, the balls are now on sale at Asda.
The delicious bars were spotted in stores by an eagle-eyed shopper who took to Facebook to announce their find.
The shopper wrote: 'Giant Cadbury Snowball Bars spotted today at Asda.
'Happy Christmas!'
However, not every shopper was as excited to see the bars in stores.
Some Facebook users felt it was '5 months too early' to sell Christmas themed products.
One social media user said: 'Oh wow, I'm still trying to finish this years Easter eggs, better hurry so I can start on the Xmas chocs.'
Other chocolate lovers thought that their fellow shoppers needed to see the fun in the bar landing on our shelves in July.

One fan said: 'Why are people mad it's chocolate, gonna get eaten within the week.'
Another joked: 'Im just here for the moaners about them selling Christmas stuff already.'
The news comes after shoppers noticed another popular Cadbury bar on a major supermarket's shelves.
The limited edition snack costs just £2.99 and is one of the brand's most popular flavours.
B&M are selling the iconic Cadbury Mudcake, which is inspired by the classic Australian caramel mudcake.
The dairy milk chocolate bar is covered with a layer of caramelised white chocolate, a gooey caramel-flavoured crème centre and crunchy chocolate biscuit bits.
It is part of B&M's huge range of Aussie snacks and fans are going wild for the tasty treat.
One commented: 'I bought two of them for £7 from an online store!'
Another said: 'These are so nice.'
However, the treats are in limited supply so, once they sell out, B&M won't be restocking them.

True story of socialite Claus von Bulow accused of trying to murder his heiress wife as scandal becomes TV series
Apple is working on a limited series about late socialite Claus von Bulow, who was famously accused of trying to murder his wife Sunny in the early '80s. According to Deadline, the prestige streamer already has British playwright Jack Thorne attached to the project. Thorne was most recently behind Netflix 's psychological crime drama Adolescence, which won universal acclaim from critics and became one of the most-watched Netflix shows of all time. The Danish-born Bulow was found guilty of the attempted murder of his heiress wife in a 1982 trial before being acquitted in 1985 following a second trial. The second trial was televised, making it the first major criminal trial in the United States to be broadcast live on television. He was accused of using insulin injections to try to kill the heiress so that he could get his hands on her $100million fortune, which she had inherited from her Pittsburgh utilities magnate father George Crawford, who died when she was just three. Mrs Bulow was first found unresponsive in one of the many bathrooms at their Rhode Island home while celebrating Christmas with her family in 1979. She slipped into a coma and was rushed to hospital, where she was miraculously revived. Doctors determined that the coma was the result of low blood sugar and diagnosed her as hypoglycemic. The following Christmas she was found unconscious again, but this time she had suffered severe enough brain injury to fall into a persistent vegetative state. The socialite ended up in a coma that lasted for the rest of her life, up until her death in 2008. In a sensational trial, her husband was accused of trying to murder her - being first found guilty, then dramatically cleared. Mrs Bulow's children from her first marriage to Prince Alfred von Auersperg hired private investigators to find out if Mr Bulow was behind what happened to their mother. He was charged in 1982, but released on $1million bail. Mr Bulow was found guilty in 1982 and sentenced to 30 years in jail. Just three years later, the verdict was thrown out and a retrial took place. Mr Bulow hired celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz, who would later defend O.J. Simpson and Jeffrey Epstein, to get his conviction overturned. Celebrities took the stand to speak in Mr Bulow's defense, including writer Truman Capote, and a media firestorm ensued. According to Dershowitz, one prosecutor on the case said, 'This case has everything. It has money, sex, drugs; it has Newport, New York and Europe; it has nobility; it has maids, butlers, a gardener.' After being freed, Mrs Bulow's children had Mr Bulow removed from their mother's will and left him without a penny. Only the couple's biological daughter, Cosima, stood by him and he denounced any entitlements in favor of her being able to equally share assets with her half siblings. Mr Bulow was able to divorce Mrs Bulow in 1988, while she was still comatose. Their Manhattan apartment and Newport mansion were turned over to the von Auersperg children from her previous marriage. Dershowitz went on to write a book about the trial which was turned into 1990 film Reversal Of Fortune, starring Jeremy Irons as Mr Bulow and Glenn Close as his wife. The film was enormous hit, earning rave reviews from critics and winning Irons the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1991. After his acquittal, Mr Bulow moved to London and became a fixture on the social scene. He died in his London home in 2019 at age 92.

Allegra choir from Newport wins in national competition
Allegra choir and its chamber choir Allegretta entered the Bournemouth Performing Arts Competition this week. The choir competed against choirs from across the UK in Christchurch Priory. An Allegra representative said: "Allegra (and their chamber choir Allegretta) won every category they could enter, and in addition were awarded the ultimate trophies for Song of the Day and Choir of the Year." Dee Thomas, Allegra's chair, said: "We were the first choir to sing in the morning having had an extremely early start from Newport, and the contest continued well into the evening, but we maintained our high standards to return home with so many trophies across a wide range of categories as well as a cash prize for Choir of the Year. "It's a reflection of the dedication each and every singer gives to the choir and to the expertise and vision of Robert T Elliott, our musical director, and our brilliantly talented accompanist Lucy Fflur Jones. "When the adjudicator gives feedback which includes comments such as, 'The handling of one piece... was as close to perfection as I have heard,' you know you have created something special. "These honours left us all speechless and buzzing with pride. "We would encourage any aspiring Allegra singer who would like to be part of Newport's own award-winning female voice choir to take a look at our Facebook page where they can view a reel showing the camaraderie and success of the day, and to contact us."

HR director caught on Coldplay ‘kiss cam' quits company
The HR director caught cuddling the chief executive of her company on a 'kiss cam' at a Coldplay concert has resigned. Kristin Cabot has stepped down from her position at Astronomer, a software company, after the footage of her in the arms of Andy Byron went viral on social media, according to TMZ. 'Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer – she's resigned,' a source told the celebrity news website. Mr Byron, who is reportedly married, stepped down as the company's chief executive on Saturday, shortly after its directors announced it would hold an investigation into the incident. When footage of the pair was beamed around the arena on the 'kiss cam', Ms Cabot quickly covered her face and moved away, while Mr Byron ducked out of sight. The crowd could be heard laughing as Chris Martin, the Coldplay singer, said: 'Oh, look at these two ... Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' Sports fans and even team mascots have re-enacted the moment on 'kiss cams' across the US. According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr Byron led Astronomer, a New York-based company, for two years. On Friday, Astronomer announced its board of directors had launched an investigation into its own chief executive. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,' it said in a statement. 'The board of directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' A woman understood to be Mr Byron's wife has changed her last name on her Facebook account, according to reports. Ms Cabot joined in 2024 as chief people officer, with Mr Byron describing her as a 'proven leader' with a 'passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces'. Reports suggest she was married but divorced in 2022. The incident took place just months after Astronomer raised $93m (£69.3m) from investors. The company is said to be valued at around $1bn.
