From an iconic Malteser flavour that's not been on sale for over 10 years to a never-before-seen Skittle flavour, there's something for everyone.
Here are all launches and re-launches set to get shoppers going wild over the coming months.
Skittles Citrus
The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this month the new Skittles Citrus pouches would be hitting shelves this Spring and Summer.
The 109g and 136g packs contain five new flavours: Orange, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin and Blood Orange.
Mars, which makes the sweets, said the Citrus pouches will be available across all the major supermarkets.
However, we only spotted them on sale at Asda currently, where the 136p pouch costs 98p.
Some shoppers online say they've found them in smaller convenience stores as well.
Tropical Refreshers

Swizzels has unveiled a new Tropical Refreshers flavour to mark 70 years since the classic sweet was first launched.
The fresh flavour, combining mango and pineapple, is available in stores now.
We couldn't see it on sale at the bigger supermarket chains, however you can buy a 20-pack on Amazon for £15.
Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK?
Shoppers have been quick to share their glee after finding out about the new flavour.
Posting on Facebook, one said: "These look like they will taste amazing."
While another said: "OMG yesss, I need."
Bacardi Breezers
Kids from the 90s and 00s will be buzzing to hear Bacardi is launching three new Breezer flavours in supermarkets and convenience shops.
Shoppers can pick up the alcopop in three flavours: Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon.
B&M will start stocking them from July, Aldi from August and Sainsbury's from September, priced at £2 per bottle.
Bacardi has also said they'll be available in convenience stores from July.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte
The Sun also exclusively revealed this month Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk flavour - Iced Latte.
Shoppers will be able to pick up the bar from major retailers from next month.
Cadbury is also launching four limited-edition Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars with packaging that changes colour based on temperature.
The new chocolate bars will hit shelves in June and be available throughout the summer period for £2 a piece.
Cadbury Twirl White Dipped

Cadbury is also adding another new chocolate bar to its line up on June 2 - Twirl White Dipped.
The bar combines the classic flaked Twirl milk chocolate dipped in white chocolate.
The bar is only limited edition though, so you'll want to be quick if you want to grab one when it launches.
A price for the new bar is yet to be revealed.
White Maltesers
Mars is bringing back White Maltesers after they were last seen on shelves 10 years ago.
The snack is expected to return to supermarkets and independent stores on June 16.
The treat first launched in 2003 but was taken off shelves back in 2014.
Since then, social media has been awash with pleas from shoppers calling on them to bring the iconic flavour back.
Including comments from punters who said the creamy honeycomb bites were the "best thing" they had ever had.
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.

Business news live: FTSE 100 reaction to Rolls Royce and Unilever profits plus latest Nationwide house price data
Earnings season among notable FTSE 100 firms continues on Thursday with Rolls Royce, Shell and Unilever all in the frame - the latter being a good indicator of consumer spending power this year. There are also reports due from bank Standard Chartered, miner Endeavour and owner of the stock exchange itself, the London Stock Exchange Group. London's benchmark index finished largely flat on Wednesday and is slightly down for the week so far, but with the US economy growing more than expected in the second quarter of 2025 and further trade clarity coming with the EU and India arranging deals, it's no surprise to see many indices at or near all-time highs. Meanwhile, Thursday also brings the latest house price data from Nationwide, while CASS have revealed which UK banks benefited most from customers switching current accounts over the past three months.

How much Labour's foot-dragging is costing your retirement
Labour promised a wide-reaching pensions overhaul in its election manifesto to improve the nation's financial security in retirement. True to its word, just a month after its landslide victory, a comprehensive two-part review was announced. Eyebrows were quickly raised, however, as phase one rolled out and it became clear the overhaul was more about generating economic growth for the Government than boosting savers' returns. Even when phase two was finally outlined earlier this month, the review shunned any immediate action and instead set up a Pensions Commission. It will take around 18 months to report back on how to tackle key issues like savings rates and auto-enrolment – the mechanism that signs workers up for a pension unless they opt out. In the meantime, ministers have confirmed that a major pillar of the reforms – the amount which savers and employers must contribute – will not increase this Parliament. It's a decision that could cost workers six figures by the time they stop working. With a fifth of Britain's 15 million pension savers on course to retire in poverty, and reliance on the state pension increasing, Telegraph Money teamed up with Hargreaves Lansdown to explain how much Labour's delays could cost you in retirement. Workers Cost to pension pot: £106,000 Under the current rules, workers must be automatically enrolled into a pension if they earn at least £10,000 and are aged between 22 and state pension age. In return for a 5pc minimum contribution from the employee, their employer must add at least 3pc. There are widespread calls from experts to increase both minimum saving rates to 6pc. With any changes ruled out for this Parliament, however, this now won't happen for at least four years, and any eventual progress is expected to be gradual. According to Hargreaves Lansdown, a 22-year-old earning £23,500 and putting 8pc into their pension until age 68 would have an eventual pot of £213,000. But if the rates were increased to 12pc overall, they would have £319,000 – meaning they would miss out on £106,000. Self-employed Cost to pension pot: £160,000 Self-employed people are not currently automatically enrolled into a pension, leaving many to fall through the cracks and at risk of struggling in retirement. In fact, researchers Nest Insight recently found that just 18pc of self-employed people pay into a pension, despite three quarters saying they want to. If they were automatically enrolled, a self-employed person earning £23,500 would contribute the minimum 5pc, since there is no employer to pay in. If they did this from age 22, they would have £133,000 in their pot by age 68. If the rate was increased to 6pc, their pot would hit £160,000. Young people Cost to pension pot: £39,000 If workers aged between 18 and 22 were automatically enrolled, it could put tens of thousands more into their pension pot. The legislation for this change has already passed but has yet to be enacted. A young worker on the minimum wage working 40 hours a week would currently be paid £20,800 a year. If the age of auto-enrolment was lowered to 18, they would have an extra four years of pension contributions, meaning their pot would hit £7,000 by age 22. Given the long period it would be able to grow for, that amount would be £26,000 by the time they retired. If the minimum contribution rates were also increased to 12pc, this would be £39,000. Low earners Cost to pension pot: £4,000 Anyone earning at least £6,240 is allowed to join a pension scheme. However, they are not automatically enrolled, nor does their employer have to pay in, until their salary passes £10,000. This also hits people with multiple low-paying jobs, as they still wouldn't be enrolled into a pension for any roles paying below £10,000 – even if their combined earnings were higher. If someone earned £9,000 at age 22 and increased their earnings by 3pc a year, they wouldn't cross the £10,000 threshold until age 26. Missing those four years of paying in would leave them with a pension pot of £77,000, rather than £81,000. There are calls to remove this lower earnings limit, which was also included in the legislation passed and is yet to be put into effect. Susan Hope, of Scottish Widows, said: 'Lowering the age to 18 and removing the lower earnings limit could be absolutely transformative for young people. 'It would move them from a retirement of having no car, takeaways and foreign holidays towards one with more financial freedom and choice – without having to rely on other people.' Helen Morrissey, of Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'Changes to auto-enrolment contribution levels have the potential to transform people's retirement outcomes. However, there is nuance – if the contribution limits are raised across the board there is potential for lower earners to put themselves in financial difficulties today because they are contributing more into their pensions. 'More widely, what the Pensions Commission has shown is that there are a lot of people under-saving for retirement and not heading for the income they want or need. The commission has the potential to have an enormous impact on these people's retirement security.' The Department for Work & Pensions said Liz Kendall, the Work and Pensions Secretary, had addressed the rationale behind the timings in a speech. She said: 'Cost of living pressures mean many workers are more concerned about putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their heads than saving for a retirement that seems a long, long way away. And many businesses face huge challenges in keeping profitable and flexible in an increasingly uncertain world. 'That's why we have already said there will be no change to minimum auto-enrolment contribution rates during this Parliament.'

Shell beats profit expectations at $4.3 billion, keeps buybacks steady
LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - Shell's (SHEL.L), opens new tab adjusted earnings, its definition of net profit, reached $4.264 billion in the second quarter, it said on Thursday, above the $3.74 billion average in an analyst poll provided by the company but down from $6.3 billion a year ago. Shell said it would maintain the pace of its share buyback programme at $3.5 billion over the next three months, the 15th consecutive quarter of at least $3 billion. Shell had guided in a trading update earlier this month that it expected quarterly earnings to be hit by weaker trading in its integrated gas division and losses at its chemicals and products operations. Global benchmark Brent crude prices averaged around $67 a barrel during the April-June quarter, compared with $75 a barrel in the first quarter and $85 a year earlier.
