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.
Cadbury Ireland drop TWO new bars
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 Trolley.co.uk 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 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.
