Cadbury Twirl White Dipped compared to noughties Flake Snow
The new Twirl White Dipped went on sale earlier this month, and shoppers have been looking everywhere to find it in the UK.
Morrisons, Co-op, Home Bargains and B&M are selling the popular bar – but only in select shops for a limited time.
When shoppers did get their hands on it, they were quick to take to social media to praise its taste and similarities to a discontinued favourite from the late noughties.
Is a Twirl just a Flake dipped in chocolate?
Long has been the debate that Twirls are similar to Cadbury's famous Flake chocolate bar – but now the comparison has heightened for a different reason.
The Twirl White Dipped was being compared to Cadbury's Flake Snow even before it hit the shelves.
Cadbury's Flake Snow chocolate bar was first launched in the UK back in 2000.
The bar had a crumbly white chocolate flake inside, covered in milk chocolate.
But it only lasted eight years in the UK, with Cadbury revealing in 2008 the chocolate bar had been discontinued.
Cadbury Twirl White Dipped – shoppers react online
Taking to Facebook foodie groups, shoppers were quick to share where they had picked up a Twirl, at what price and if it had similarities with Flake Snow.
'Limited edition Cadbury twirl white 85p spotted at B&M,' one person wrote.
'Does it taste like a Flake Snow? Yes it does,' another said.
One person commented: 'It's like a Flake Snow in reverse!'
Another added: Wow, these are outstanding - closest bar you'll ever get to a Cadbury Snowflake!"
Recommended reading:
'Not bad but definitely not as good as Flake Snow was," another wrote.
Others commented about the chocolate's taste, saying: 'These were amazing!"
'They are divine' and 'Found mine, I love them – so delicious.'
Before its release, Twirl brand manager at Mondelez International, Katya Savelieva, said: "With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won't want to miss - grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before!"

Just as he leaves Earth's orbit, a call from President Trump sends his mission, as well as his mind, spiralling off-course. Lost in deep space, Musk - played by Ben Whitehead, the voice of Wallace from the Wallace & Gromit franchise - begins to experience sinister shifts in his relationship with M-UTHA who becomes more determined to take control of her creator. Pestered by a Fly he just can't kill and haunted by apparitions of iconic figures from astronomy and science fiction, including Sir Patrick Moore, Musk's paranoia escalates and a standoff between creator and creation follows where only one can survive… Confronting surveillance, misinformation, and authoritarianism in the modern age, a fresh adaptation of Orwell's 1984 fuses puppetry and storytelling.

Performed in a different order every time, as chosen live by the audience, Professors Lexi Con and Noel Edge (the Word Nerd and the Science Freak) introduce a carefully curated collection of favourite words from 'annular' to 'zephyr', one for each letter of the alphabet. Accompanying them are 26 scientific demonstrations ranging from squishy and squirty to floating and exploding, with props from a simple water bottle to balloons that explode in a ball of burning hydrogen, super cool liquid nitrogen that erupts into a massive cloud, and a leaf blower that covers the audience in Rice Krispies. With some experiments that kids can try at home, and even a few that adults might find useful in everyday life, The Alphabet of Awesome Science makes science fun, messy, and memorable 1984 Elon Musk: Lost in Space is a darkly comic sci-fi satire about one of the world's most famous men.

Featuring specially recorded roles by Dame Joanna Lumley, Sophie Aldred, and Sir Simon Russell Beale as Big Brother, this reimagined cautionary tale is a timely exploration of power, control, and resistance, directed by Adam Lenson with an original score by Dan Melrose. Returning for a twelfth year, Fringe veterans Box Tale Soup have handmade almost the entirety of the puppets, set, and props using recycled materials, turning waste into art. Dyke Systems Ltd Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Pleasance Courtyard, Cellar , 30 July – 25 Aug 2025 (not 6 & 12 ), 15 .00 (16 .00) Set in the 1990s at the height of multi-level marketing expansion but before the rise of the internet, this two-handed comedy satire delves into the collision of repressed queerness and corporate feminism and looks at how modern technology and finance have weaponised them both. American suburban business women Sally and Susan are on the hunt for new recruits for their very lucrative business opportunity that is definitely not a pyramid scheme. But as they dive deeper into the shiny world of multi-level marketing, they become caught up in climbing the cut-throat corporate ladder and cracks begin to appear in their pastel-perfect lives, unravelling long-buried tensions and unspoken desires as the lies they've built everything on start to catch up with them. With Fag Packet's signature blend of drag, comedy, physical theatre and audience interaction, the audience will be guided through the DYKE programme (Dynamic, Young, Knowledgeable, Entrepreneur) which explores the intersections of queerness and feminism in a capitalist world that is coming for us all.

Three actors and a Foley artist band together – in fellowship – to present an epic retelling of the first chapter of the most iconic fantasy franchise ever made, compressing 178 minutes of cinematic action into just 60. Combining live sound effects, exaggerated character impersonations and physical theatre, the performers remain on stage throughout, shifting seamlessly between roles within a ring of props. Featuring choreographed mime, shadow puppetry, and a makeshift wind machine, Recent Cutbacks returns with a show that both celebrates the fandom and remains accessible to all audiences.

What begins as a cringe-filled comedy nostalgia trip gradually darkens into something more unsettling, raising urgent questions about internet safety, digital consent, and the shadows cast by early online exposure.

Holly Willoughby's Glastonbury mini dress is the only festival outfit you need
Holly Willoughby was spotted wearing Free People's vintage-inspired mini dress to Glastonbury this year – and if there's one new festival outfit to buy, it's this one From Kate Moss' glitter micro mini dress to Alexa Chung's signature denim shorts, there are plenty of iconic Glastonbury outfits that have become the blueprint for festival dressing. And now we can add Holly Willoughby to that list, as the presenter managed to snag the perfect dress for festival season. Holly was snapped on Friday at Worthy Farm wearing the Lenna Set from Free People, which she paired with some chunky brown boots, a western-inspired belt and a matching brown fedora. Everything from the loose, relaxed fit to the lace details make the set perfect for nailing a boho, vintage style that's always a hit for festivals, and the harder accessories help give it a little bit of edge. Priced at £158, the Lenna Set actually comes with two pieces; a flowing white mini dress and a cropped lace jacket, which were inspired by classic vintage bedroom sets. Both pieces can be easily styled with almost anything else in your wardrobe, giving you multiple outfits in one and saving you space on your festival packing list. The mini dress has a retro shift silhouette, with adjustable straps and a V-neckline, and is made from a crepe satin that's soft and comfortable to wear. The lace panelling around the neckline plays into the vintage look, and its relaxed, slightly A-line fit means it skims over your body for a comfortable and flattering fit. Although you could easily style the dress from the Lenna Set with anything from a denim jacket to an oversized leather jacket for a more edgy look, the matching lace jacket helps keep the vintage boho look. The jacket has short puffed sleeves for a little bit of volume, with a rounded neckline and tie closure at the front, which you can leave open or fasten. Holly opted to wear the two together, and it seems she chose the shade 'summer shower' which is a crisp, clean white. However it also comes in four other shades, including brown, black, dusky pink and a cream shade that makes a softer alternative to the stark white option. For a more affordable version of Holly's dress, we spotted this £35.99 Reclaimed Vintage Mini Lingerie Cami Tea Dress at ASOS, which has a similar silhouette with lace details, although of course doesn't include the lace jacket. We also love H&M's Embroidery-Detail Playsuit, £54.99, which has the same vibe as Holly's look but with the bonus of shorts to prevent chafing in the heat.
